apply: do not read from beyond a symbolic link
We should reject a patch, whether it renames/copies dir/file to elsewhere with or without modificiation, or updates dir/file in place, if "dir/" part is actually a symbolic link to elsewhere, by making sure that the code to read the preimage does not read from a path that is beyond a symbolic link.
