Patch to create relative symlinks

When $ROOT is set, eselect-postgresql creates absolute symlinks, which do not work when inside the system pointed at by $ROOT.  Relative symlinks would appear correct both in the host system and inside $ROOT.

The attached patch changes all of the created symlinks to be relative as well as storing the patch in the "active.links" files relative to $ROOT, so that eselect-postgresql can be used both in the host system and when inside $ROOT.
