Matt Heon f384bdf66b Handle symlinks when checking DB vs runtime configs ...

When Podman starts, it checks a number of critical runtime paths
against stored values in the database to make sure that existing
containers are not broken by a configuration change. We recently
made some changes to this logic to make our handling of the some
options more sane (StaticDir in particular was set based on other
passed options in a way that was not particularly sane) which has
made the logic more sensitive to paths with symlinks. As a simple
fix, handle symlinks properly in our DB vs runtime comparisons.

The BoltDB bits are uglier because very, very old Podman versions
sometimes did not stuff a proper value in the database and
instead used the empty string. SQLite is new enough that we don't
have to worry about such things.

Fixes #20872
