A new property called task can be used to assign a name. If it is
specified, then the task's actions must be nested under an actions
property, and an if property can be used to make it conditional.
Just like on a link action, the value is executed in the shell. If
it has a non-zero exit code (failure), the whole task is skipped.
This allows tasks to group actions that only apply in certain
conditions (e.g. on certain OSes or in certain configurations),
and allows all actions (not just link) to be conditional.
If there is no task property, then the task behaves exactly as
it did previously.

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.
