[doc] Use @var{name}, not NAME or @var{NAME} in "Hard Links".

Browse Source 
The @var{name} renders as NAME in Info, to this inconsistency is hard
to spot there.  The inconsistency is easier to spot in the typeset
output (e.g. PDF, Postscript).

Our solution is to use @var{name} even inside @samp, since that
works (and is intended to, according to the documentation).

This fixes Savannah bug #65305.

If the @samp{-L} option is in effect, then dereferencing of symbolic links
applies both to the @var{name} argument of the @samp{-samefile} primary and
to each file examined during the traversal of the directory hierarchy.
