pnpm examples follows symlinks out of a game and can replace .examples/.data #297

Issue description

pnpm examples (scripts/examples.mjs) has two edge cases in how it copies a game:

• It copies with cpSync(..., { dereference: true }) (examples.mjs#L134), so a symlink inside a game is followed wherever it points: a link to a large or parent folder makes the copy huge or recurse until it fails.
• It replaces .examples/<name> (examples.mjs#L131), and pnpm example keeps the editor's data folder in .examples/.data (example.mjs#L31). A game folder named .data would replace that data folder.

Found by the review of #295. The engine's scripts/examples.ts (NanoForge-dev/Engine#516) follows symlinks the same way.
