New dired commands to navigate symbolic links
Like dired-prev-dirline and dired-next-dirline
but for symbolic links.
* lisp/dired.el (dired-prev-symlinkline, dired-next-symlinkline):
New commands.
(dired-mode-map): Bind them to '{' and '}'. Add menu entries for them.
* doc/emacs/dired.texi (Dired Navigation): Document them.
* etc/NEWS (Changes in Specialized Modes and Packages in Emacs 28.1):
Announce them.
