According to https://docs.rs/nix/0.29.0/nix/unistd/type.LinkatFlags.html
`LinkatFlags` will be deprecated with version 0.28. We currently use nix 0.16.1, which already provides the suggested replacment using the `AtFlags` https://docs.rs/nix/0.26.1/nix/fcntl/struct.AtFlags.html.

So it would make sense to already use these instead.
