[PATCH 0/4] Support symbolic links in paths in PSEUDO_IGNORE_PATHS

The changes in this patch series aim to rectify a problem with pseudo
and its support for ignoring paths. When pseudo compares a path to the
paths specified in PSEUDO_IGNORE_PATHS, it uses a path that has been
canonicalized. However, it does not canonicalize the paths in
PSEUDO_IGNORE_PATHS itself and unless they are canonicalized, they
will not match as intended. Thus the paths in PSEUDO_IGNORE_PATHS
needs to be canonicalized. These patches do that by adding a new
PSEUDO_IGNORE_REAL_PATHS variable, which contains the paths from
PSEUDO_IGNORE_PATHS after having run them through os.path.realpath().

There is also one patch that adds two patches to pseudo to clean up
pseudo_client_ignore_path_chroot(), and they also plug a memory leak.
The patches were brought about as I initially intended to do the
canonicalization in pseudo itself in this function.

I have not tested the change to wic as we do not use it, though I do
not expect it to be problematic.
