[PATCH v2 2/2] setup: Don't dereference in-tree symlinks for absolute paths

The prefix_path_gently() function currently applies real_path to everything if given an absolute path, dereferencing symlinks both outside and inside the work tree. In order to manipulate symliks in the work tree using absolute paths, symlinks should only be dereferenced outside the work tree.
