package.bbclass: better handling of middle-path dir symlinks
For example in a directory structure like this
.
├── symlink -> foo/bar
└── foo
└── bar
└── file
'file' could be referenced by specifying e.g. 'foo/bar/file' or
'symlink/file'. In cases like this populate_packages() might crash if
the file was referenced (in FILES) via the symlinked directory. The
outcome depends on how the user defined FILES_pn. This patch should
make the function behave more consistently. It looks for files which are
referenced via symlinked directories and handles them separately,
failing if their parent directory is a non-existent path. For example,
defining FILES_{PN} = "symlink/file" causes a build failure because
symlinks target 'foo/bar' is not included at all.
