Extension dir:   /usr/lib/vimb

Steps to reproduce

1. Move any of the bookmarks, closed, queue or other files out of .local/share/vimb directory
2. Create symlinks to those files inside it
3. Do any action in Vimb that'd touch those files (for example creating a bookmark)

Vimb will delete/replace the symlink with a normal file.

Expected behaviour

Vimb doen't care about symlinks and just uses file as normal.

Actual behaviour

Vimb seems to delete a file and recreate it.

Note

I tested this with hardlinks too - does exactly the same thing.
