`preload` symlink doesn't seem to work even with TUP_SUDO_SUID activated

(Follow-up of #278) with updater.full_deps = true, preload still gives the following error:

unable to find node 'src' for preloading in directory 53

When I try preload foo/bla/src where bla is symlinked.

Hmm, I can reproduce this - that's annoying. Unfortunately tup no longer tracks symlink information in the database, so I don't see a quick fix here. What type of run-script are you using? In the future I'd like to only support Lua and Python scripts, and remove the 'preload' and 'run' keywords.

I'm assuming foo/bar exists and reading into it. foo/bar might be symlinked, either relatively or absolutely, from somewhere outside.
