activation: Make sure /etc/sudoers & co. are regular files.

Before that, 'sudo' would exit with:

  sudo: /etc/sudoers is not a regular file
  sudo: no valid sudoers sources found, quitting

* gnu/build/activation.scm (activate-etc): Check if SOURCE matches
  'file-is-directory?'.  If not, use 'copy-file' instead of 'symlink'.
