Add support for symlinked license dir

Balló György requested to merge bgyorgy/namcap:symlicensedir into master

  • symlink rule: remove the trailing slash when checking the existence of symlink target as it can be inconsistent.

  • licensepkg rule: detect if the license dir is a symlink, and check the existence of the license files in the linked package if it's a dependency.

This eliminates the following false positive errors (qt5-* packages usually have a symlinked license dir to qt5-base):

qt5-multimedia E: Missing custom license directory (usr/share/licenses/qt5-multimedia)
qt5-multimedia E: Symlink (usr/share/licenses/qt5-multimedia) points to non-existing /usr/share/licenses/qt5-base
