Bug Description

If you copy any symbolic link to another directory ,link will be contained full path to (old) file or (old) folder and will be spoiled.
For example:
file - /home/user/123
link - 456 to 123 (ln -s 456 123)
Link "456" created as symbolic link and not contained full path.
Link "456" should point to a file "123", but on Dolphin (KF5) this link contained full path "/home/user/123"
If copy link "456" to /home/, this link will be contained path "/home/user/123" - absolute path. This not right!
Link should be path "123" - relative path.

Kubuntu 15.10
Dolphin 4:15.08.0
libkonq-common 4:15.04.2
libkonq5-templates 4:15.04.2
