remove hardlinked symlinks warning, update docs, fixes #3175

Browse source 
the warning was annoying for people with a lot of such items and
they can not do anything about it anyway.

thus, just document this as a limitation.

Archive extraction has optional support to extract all-zero chunks as
holes in a sparse file.
* Some filesystem specific attributes, like btrfs NOCOW, see :ref:`platforms`.
* For hardlinked symlinks, the hardlinking can not be archived (and thus,
the hardlinking will not be done at extraction time). The symlinks will
be archived and extracted as non-hardlinked symlinks, see :issue:`2379`.
Are there other known limitations?
