Make ELOOP an error again, except for -xtype.3.3.1
POSIX requires an error if (for example) -L encounters a symlink loop. The GNU find change was restricted to -xtype, so add a manual ELOOP test to eval_xtype() for compatibility. This reverts commit 470589cbd9ca3e73d8c01ac3a96cbc065179dcc5. Link: https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?19605

+**June 3, 2024**
+
+### Bug fixes
+
+- Reduced the scope of the symbolic link loop change in version 3.3.
+ `-xtype l` remains true for symbolic link loops, matching a change in GNU findutils 4.10.0.
+ However, `-L` will report an error, just like `bfs` prior to 3.3 and other `find` implementations, as required by POSIX.
