ini_file: Don't creates new file instead of following symlink (#6546)

* ini_file: Don't creates new file instead of following symlink

This is a bug fix that address a situation where `community.general.ini_file`
was destroying symlinks instead of updating of updating their targets.

Closes: #6470

* ini_file: add the follow parameter

If `poth` points on a symlink and `follow` is true, the `ini_file` plugin
will preserve the symlink and modify the target file.

* adjust the documentation of the new key

- yes/no -> true/false.
- new key will be introduced in 7.1.0.
- clean up the `state=link` part.

(cherry picked from commit c76af60a73)
