classes/license: fix handling of symlinks pointed to in LIC_FILES_CHKSUM
If you set LIC_FILES_CHKSUM to point to a relative symlink then you'll get "Could not copy license file" warnings in copy_license_files() since the symlink won't be valid after it's copied. If the source is a symlink then we need to dereference it first. I encountered this when I used recipetool on the sources for capnproto, where the c++ directory contains a LICENSE.txt symlink to the LICENSE file in the parent directory, and this symlink ends up being pointed to in LIC_FILES_CHKSUM.
