mu: fix broken clear_links

Browse Source 
clear_links as used for the --clear-links option had some broken
filename generation, causing garbage data at the end.

Clean up this old code, and fix this problem as a side-effect.

Fixes issue #951.

If you specify \fB\-\-clearlinks\fR, all existing symlinks will be cleared
from the target maildir; this allows for re-use of the same directory. An
alternative would be to delete the target directory before, but this has a big
chance of accidentally removing something that should not be removed.
