Small bug report encompassing some related issues in `pathlib._NormalAccessor`:

- `link_to()` should be named `link()` for consistency with other methods
- `symlink()` doesn't need to guard against `os.symlink()` not accepting `target_is_directory` on non-Windows platforms; this has been fixed since 3.3
- `readlink()` doesn't raise `NotImplementedError` when `os.readlink()` is unavailable

Only the last of these has a user impact, and only on exotic systems.
