[compare] Ensure HiddenResources can create linked IFiles

Eclipse has a preference at 'General->Workspace->Linked Resources'
where the user can disable linked resources. If he does, linked
resources cannot be created anymore (but existing linked resources
continue to work perfectly fine).

EGit _needs_ to be able to create linked resources to fully implement
comparisons in the merge tool. Otherwise comparisons using stage 2 as
input but saving to a non-workspace file won't work properly, and the
new "working tree pre-merged to 'ours'" input also relies on creating
linked resources being possible.

Therefore just enable creating linked resources by force and reset the
preference afterwards unless it has been changed again in the meantime.
