[bin] make link.sh more robust (see log)

There were 2 flaws to link.sh:

1. A real bug: not sure how I didn't hit this earlier, but -f returns
   true only if the file is a *real* file. As such, the link.sh script
   was trying to create a bunch of links over links (case 2) without
   removing them. Placing case 2 before case 1 and then turning that -f
   to a -e solves the issue.

2. $HOMEDOTS was hardcoded, which, while true if installed via
   bin/install.sh, is not always the case. This commit attempts to link
   to where it believes the script is located, thus being robust to
   cloning the dotfiles wherever the user may wish
