rS336794: Avoid a install(1) crash by not using -C when the source is /dev/null

Summary

Apparently when the file already exists, the /dev/null handling in install(1)
is not sufficient. So this works around it, and does not use -C when /dev/null
is the source.

This revision was automatically updated to reflect the committed changes.

This seems like a bug that should be fixed in install(1), not here. It's unclear from the description what the actual bug is.
