Backport of #87881

Allow the darwin links code to overwrite libs that were already
copied, because C dependencies can occur multiple times.

Solves errors like

ln: failed to create symbolic link '/nix/store/higpc9xavwcjjzdipz7m9ly03bh7iy2z-hercules-ci-agent-source-0.7.0/lib/links/libboost_context.dylib': File exists

(cherry picked from commit a9373cd)
