Physical path resolution does not handle parent junction points

[Andrey Repin]

Greetings, Dan Levi!

> Open terminal (as admin):

> [~] $ mkdir -p A/B
> [~] $ ln -s A C
> [~] $ cmd /c "mklink /j D A"
> Junction created for D <<===>> A
> [~] $ (cd C/B ; pwd -P)
> /home/me/A/B
> [~] $ (cd D/B ; pwd -P)
> /home/me/D/B

> The last output should be /home/me/A/B, not /home/me/D/B.

> realpath displays the same behavior.

#  ( cd D/B ; pwd -P; realpath .; realpath $(pwd); readlink -e .; readlink -e $(pwd) )
/c/dev/temp/1/D/B
/c/dev/temp/1/D/B
/c/dev/temp/1/A/B
/c/dev/temp/1/D/B
/c/dev/temp/1/A/B
