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 relative operand is joined to the working directory as the
kernel reports it, so a ".." after a symlink counts from its target, as
with realpath. A symlink operand is scanned at its target instead of
skipped. An operand given through a symlink below another operand, to a
directory outside it, is walked on its own instead of dropped with its
records deleted. An operand that cannot be resolved is a fatal error
naming the operand as given. The walk itself still follows no symlink.

- `scan` resolves each operand to its real path, symlinks followed, before the
walk. A symlink operand is scanned at its target instead of skipped. With
`/srv/link` a symlink to a directory outside `/srv`, `scan /srv /srv/link/sub`
walks `sub` on its own instead of dropping it and deleting its records

Both now say up to seconds after the write, as the comment on `diskSizeOf` in
