Following symlinks from /run/host/root naively (for example, with
realpath()) is wrong.
This commit warns about this problem, and provides examples of how to
avoid it when using the host-root permission, either by using
https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/openat2.2.html for modern kernels,
or 65adfdd5fc/steam-runtime-tools/resolve-in-sysroot.c
for older kernels.
