The launcher tries to create symbolic links to GTK configuration files such as gtkfilechooser.ini. This process will fail and continue if the file exists, but is not already a symbolic link. This PR forcibly removes the file(s) if they are present, but not currently a symbolic link and then creates the link appropriately as before. Once merged this PR will squash messages from `ln` like: ```plain $ irccloud-desktop /bin/bash: warning: setlocale: LC_ALL: cannot change locale (en_GB.UTF-8) ln: failed to create symbolic link '/home/dllewellyn/snap/irccloud-desktop/x2/.config/gtk-2.0/gtkfilechooser.ini': File exists ```
