install: allow removing symlinks even for units that are gone

If a symlink is leftover, still allow cleaning it up via 'disable'. This
happens when a unit is stopped and removed, but not disabled, and a reload
has already happened. At that point, cleaning up the old symlinks becomes
impossible through the APIs, and needs to be done manually. Always allow
cleaning up symlinks, if they exist, by only erroring out if there is an
OOM.
