Description

@nicoddemus

As discussed in #10910, seems like the symlinks created by tmp_path were useful a long time ago, during the dawn of pytest when testing pypy, and could be dropped. I personally never seen any use for it.

Should we drop them to simplify the code a bit? Any idea if we can somehow gauge if this is used?
