scripts: add lnr (link relative)
lnr is a simple script to generate relative symlinks from absolute paths, similar to "ln -r" but without requiring coreutils 8.16 (Ubuntu 12.04 and others currently ship 8.13). Signed-off-by: Ross Burton <ross.burton@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Saul Wold <sgw@linux.intel.com>
