[bug#54180] [PATCH 05/12] home: symlink-manager: Remove 'empty-directory?' and avoid TOCTTOU race.

["Ludovic Courtès" <ludo@gnu.org>]

This removes three 'stat' syscalls.

* gnu/home/services/symlink-manager.scm (update-symlinks-script)[empty-directory?]:
Remove.
[cleanup-symlinks]: Replace use of 'file-exists?', 'file-is-directory?',
and 'empty-directory?' by a single 'rmdir' call.
