Bug fixes:

  - Improved handling of profiling options. ccache should now work correctly
    for profiling options like “-fprofile-{generate,use}[=path]” for GCC ≥ 9
    and Clang as well as “-fauto-profile[=path]” and the Clang-specific
    “-fprofile-instr-{generate,use}[=path]” and
    “-fprofile-sample-{use,accurate}” options.

  - ccache now copies files directly from the cache to the destination file
    instead of via a temporary file. This avoids problems when using filenames
    long enough to be near the file system's filename max limit.

  - When the hard-link mode is enabled, ccache now only uses hard links for
    object files, not other files like dependency files. This is because
    compilers unlink object files before writing to them but they don't do that
    for dependency files, so the latter can become overwritten and therefore
    corrupted in the cache.

  - Fixed a glitch related to hard-link mode and an empty cache.

  - ccache now supports the ccache.conf file to be a symlink.

  - Temporary files are now deleted immediately on signals like SIGTERM and
    SIGINT instead of some time later in a cleanup phase.

  - Fixed a bug that affected ccache's “-o/--set-config” option for the
    “base_dir” and “cache_dir_levels” keys.
