Add 'canonicalize-path' option to link

Dotbot had a hardcoded behaviour that the BASEDIR was always passed to
os.path.realpath which "returns the canonical path of the specified
filename, eliminating any symbolic links encountered in the path".

This might not always be desirable so this commit makes it configurable.

The use case where `canonicalize-path` comes in handy is the following:
You want to provide dotfiles in the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard under
`/usr/local/share/ypid_dotfiles/`. Now you want to provide
`.config/dotfiles` as a default in `/etc/skel`. When you now
pre-configure `/etc/skel` by running dotbot in it set has HOME, dotfiles
will refer to `/usr/local/share/ypid_dotfiles/` and not
`/etc/skel/.config/dotfiles` which does not look nice.

This is related to but not the same as the `relative` parameter used
with link commands.

| `relink` | Removes the old target if it's a symlink (default:false) |
| `force` | Force removes the old target, file or folder, and forces a new link (default:false) |
| `relative` | Use a relative path to the source when creating the symlink (default:false, absolute links) |
| `canonicalize-path` | Resolve any symbolic links encountered in the source to symlink to the canonical path (default:true, real paths) |

| `if` | Execute this in your `$SHELL` and only link if it is successful. |
| `ignore-missing` | Do not fail if the source is missing and create the link anyway (default:false) |
