Pages: allow symlinks

GitHub Pages doesn't allow for symlinks.

Workaround: push an empty .nojekyll file to your gh-pages branch.

But then you can't use symlinks with Jekyll…

+1 for supporting symlinks in GitHub Pages. I too want to setup a /latest symlink to point to the docs of the latest version. Thanks for the workaround @fenollp.

FWIW jekyll/jekyll#4363 was closed but its successor jekyll/jekyll#4710 was merged.
Not sure what that means, since I still see issues with symlinks.
