cabal v2-install fails late if symlink target already exists #6832

Description

@fgaz

(continuing from #5491)

Right now cabal v2-install x first builds x and then attempts to symlink its executables, failing if they already exist.

Instead, we should check for existing symlinks before building anything, and fail as early as possible. See #5491 (comment) and previous comments
