ACL and link-dest

[AZ 9901]

I mean completely unchanged : file content, access rights, ACL... nothing changed at all.
It looks like rsync does not go into xattr attributes to see if ACL already exists and is the same, so thinks that the file is different and re-create it.

If you do the test I give in my bug report, executing rsync without waiting between 2 runs, without touching your test files... so being sure files are not modified at all, you will see that they are not hard linked together.
Comparing ACL on destination side will reveal that ACL are exactly the same. But files are not hard linked.
Trying without -A (--acls) will hard link files together.
