Fixes #827 by making
--updateskip newer destination entries only when the destination file type matches the source file type.The manpage says a file-format difference between sender and receiver is important enough for an update regardless of timestamps. However, a newer destination symlink could cause a source regular file to be skipped before the different-type replacement path was reached.
This keeps the existing newer-destination skip for matching file types but lets different file types continue to the replacement logic.
