OK, Peter found that even that is not portable so I changed the test
itself to do the path canonicalization. Turns out that while the posix
unit's read-symbolic-link has a CANONICALIZE option it doesn't quite
behave like the readlink(1) program. So I went ahead and adapted its
behavior to match that. I also noticed that the types.db entry for
read-symbolic-link did not include that optional argument so I took it
as an opportunity to fix this, as well.
