repo-add: try symlink, then hardlink, then copy for DB file
We were seeing some issues when trying to create our new database alias
using symlinks on certain filesystems (see FS#19907). Have a fallback method
in place where we first try a symlink, then a hard link, then just copy the
database if all else fails.
