Fabian Homborg 568f9031aa builtin realpath: Add --no-symlinks option
Taken from GNU realpath, this one makes realpath not resolve symlinks.

It still makes paths absolute and handles duplicate and trailing
slashes.

.. _cmd-realpath:
realpath - convert a path to an absolute path without symlinks
==============================================================
Synopsis
--------
::
realpath PATH
Description
-----------
``realpath`` resolves a path to its absolute path.
fish provides a ``realpath`` builtin as a fallback for systems where there is no ``realpath`` command, your OS might provide a version with more features.
If a ``realpath`` command exists, it will be preferred, so if you want to use the builtin you should use ``builtin realpath`` explicitly.
The following options are available:
- ``-s`` or ``--no-symlink``: Don't resolve symlinks, only make paths absolute, squash multiple slashes and remove trailing slashes.
