List a file:// destination through a symlinked directory (closes #296)
check / check (push) Waiting to run

List and ListStream walked the destination with afero.Walk, which uses
Lstat and so reported a symlinked metadata/ or blobs/ directory as one
file, while Put, Get and Stat follow the link. The store then listed as
empty, and prune removed the local snapshot records and deleted every
blob. Both listings now walk a view of the filesystem without its Lstat
method, so afero falls back to Stat and enters the link. A listed prefix
that is a symlink whose target is missing, such as a link to a volume
that is not mounted, fails the listing, as a missing destination
directory does.

A symlink loop is not detected: it is followed until the system refuses
the path for too many levels of links, and the listing fails.

# Completed Steps
- 2026-10-13: Made a `file://` destination list through a symlinked
directory ([issue #296](https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/vaultik/issues/296)).
A `metadata/` or `blobs/` directory that was a symlink to a directory
elsewhere was listed as one file, so the destination store listed as
empty while backups and restores still worked through the link.
`prune` then removed the local snapshot records and deleted every blob,
and `remote info` and `remote nuke` found no blobs. The listings now
read through the link as `Get` and `Stat` do. A link whose target is
missing, such as one to a volume that is not mounted, or a link
pointing back up the tree makes them fail.
- 2026-10-13: Stopped `remote info` counting a file under `blobs/` that
is not a blob as an orphaned blob
([issue #295](https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/vaultik/issues/295)). A stray
