Resolve scan operands to their real paths (closes #144)
check / check (push) Canceled after 0s

scan now resolves every operand with its symlinks followed before the
walk, and uses that real path for pruning, walking, records and
warnings. A symlink operand is scanned at its target instead of
skipped. An operand given through a symlinked directory below another
operand is walked on its own instead of dropped with its records
deleted. A dangling symlink operand is a fatal error, like a missing
path. The walk itself still follows no symlink.
