The current implementation nicely takes into account when the python 
interpreter is symlinked (or transitively within a symlinked directory). Sadly, 
`os.path.islink` returns `false` on Windows if instead of Windows symlinks, 
junctions are used. This has caused me issues after I started using `scoop` as 
my package manager on Windows, which creates junctions instead of symlinks.
The fix proposed in this patch is to check whether `realpath` returns a 
different path to `exe`, and if it does, to simply try again with that path. 
The code could also be simplified since `sys.executable` is guaranteed to be 
absolute, and `os.readlink`, which can return a relative path, is no longer 
used.

Tested on Windows 11 with Python 3.11 as interpereter and Ubuntu 18.04 with 
Python 3.6
