Robert Maynard 6b5f2dbbfe file(REAL_PATH): resolve symlinks before '..' components
Previously REAL_PATH would collapse paths before resolving any symlinks
so if `..` crossed a symlink the output from `REAL_PATH` would be wrong.

It looked like REAL_PATH did this by mistake since it was a side-effect
of ensuring we had an absolute path before resolving symlinks.

.. versionadded:: 3.28
:command:`file(REAL_PATH)` resolves symlinks before collapsing ../ components.
In CMake 3.27 and below, :command:`file(REAL_PATH)` collapsed any ``../``
components in a path before resolving symlinks. This produced incorrect
results when the ``../`` collapsed away a symlink.
The ``OLD`` behavior for this policy is to collapse ``../`` components before
resolving symlinks.
The ``NEW`` behavior for this policy is to resolve all symlinks before
collapsing ``../`` components.
This policy was introduced in CMake version 3.28. Use the
:command:`cmake_policy` command to set it to ``OLD`` or ``NEW`` explicitly.
