[11.x] Adds about command that Checks storage symbolic links status

[adampatterson]

I've added a section to the php artisan about command that shows the status of of the filesystems links.

While helping some developers debug why their media isn't displaying correctly, it is often a result of forgetting to link the storage folder.

// config/filesystem.php
return [
    'links' => [
        public_path('storage') => storage_path('app/public'),
    ],
];

php artisan about

Storage 
public/storage .................................................. LINKED 

// config/filesystem.php
return [
    'links' => [
        public_path('storage') => storage_path('app/public'),
        public_path('images') => storage_path('app/images'),
    ],
];

Running php artisan about will show that the logs link has not been made.

Storage 
public/images ................................................... NOT LINKED  
public/storage .................................................. LINKED

Running php artisan storage:link and then php artisan about will show the newly create symbolic link.

Storage 
public/images .................................................. LINKED
public/storage ................................................. LINKED
