gnupload: Explain how to create symlinks

[Bruno Haible]

I needed to create symlinks on alpha.gnu.org, and did not find the
accepted gnupload syntax in 'gnupload --help', Here is a proposed patch
to explain it.

	gnupload: Explain how to create symlinks.
	* build-aux/gnupload (usage): Add an example that creates symlinks.
