This patch changes the 'install-data phase of the xonotic package so that it 
creates a symlink to xonotic's data ('xonotic-data' package) instead of copying 
it. This reduces the package download size from 880mb to 12mb.

The xonotic-data package is already an input in the xonotic package rather than 
a native-input, so that didn't need to be changed.
