Allow DROP TABLESPACE to succeed (with a warning) if the pg_tblspc symlink
doesn't exist. This allows DROP to be used to clean out the pg_tablespace catalog entry in a situation where a previous DROP attempt failed before committing but after having removed the directories and symlink. Per report from William Garrison. Even though his test case depends on an unrelated bug in PreventTransactionChain, it's certainly possible for this situation to arise due to other problems, eg a system crash at just the right time.
