libselinux: resolv symlinks and dot directories before matching paths
matchpathcon cannot handle ./ or ../ in pathnames and doesn't do well
with symlinks. This patch uses the glibc function realpath() to try to
determine a real path with resolved symlinks and dot directories. For
example before this pach we would see:
$ matchpathcon /tmp/../eric
/tmp/../eric <<none>>
$ matchpathcon /eric
/eric system_u:object_r:default_t:s0
Whereas after the path we get the same results. The one quirk with the
patch is that we need special code to make sure that realpath() does not
follow a symlink if it is the final component. aka if we have a symlink
from /eric to /tmp/eric we do not want to resolv to /tmp/eric. We want
to just resolv to the actual symlink /eric.
