lnr is a script that implements the same behaviour as 'ln --relative
--symlink', as at the time of creation --relative was only available in
coreutils 8.16 onwards which was too new for the older supported distros.
Now, however, everyone has a new enough coreutils, so we can remove this
script.
All users of lnr should be replaced with ln --relative --symbolic.
