dotCooCoo 48cf28fe48 Links: a classic Mac OS path is named by its file name
A linked image read from a version 7 `.ai` file can keep its path in
the classic Mac OS form, with colons between folders
(`Macintosh HD:Images:photo.tif`). The link's name was the whole path,
so the Links panel showed it as one long name, and Relink to Folder,
the search of the document's folder and Find Linked Files looked for a
file with that whole string as its name.

A path with a colon and no `/` or `\` is now read as a classic Mac OS
path. Its name is the part after the last colon, and `links.info` gives
the rest as `location`. Relink to Folder, the document-folder search and
`links.findFiles` look for that name, and Find Linked Files compares the
path's folders with the folders of the files it finds. The link keeps
the path as stored. Paths with a `/` or `\` keep those as separators,
so a file name may still hold a colon (`/Users/a/x:y.png`).
