libbb: better coreutils compatibility for realpath

Add some tests which coreutils realpath pass but BusyBox realpath
fails (bar one).  Adjust xmalloc_realpath_coreutils() so the tests
pass:

- Expand symbolic links before testing whether the last path component
  exists.

- When the link target is a relative path canonicalize it by passing
  it through xmalloc_realpath_coreutils() as already happens for
  absolute paths.

- Ignore trailing slashes when finding the last path component and
  correctly handle the case where the only slash is at the start of
  the path.  This requires ignoring superfluous leading slashes.

- Undo all changes to the path so error messages from the caller show
  the original filename.
