longest_ancestor_length() relies on a textual comparison of directory
parts to find the part of path that overlaps with one of the paths in
prefix_list.  But this doesn't work if any of the prefixes involves a
symbolic link, because the directories will look different even though
they might logically refer to the same directory.  So canonicalize the
paths listed in prefix_list using real_path_if_valid() before trying
to find matches.

path is already in canonical form, so doesn't need to be canonicalized
again.

This fixes some problems with using GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES that
contains paths involving symlinks, including t4035 if run with --root
set to a path involving symlinks.

Remove a number of tests of longest_ancestor_length().  It is awkward
to test longest_ancestor_length() now, because its new path
normalization behavior depends on the contents of the whole
filesystem.  But we can live without the tests, because
longest_ancestor_length() is now built of reusable components that are
themselves tested separately: string_list_split(),
string_list_longest_prefix(), and real_path_if_valid().
