src,module: add --preserve-symlinks command line flag

Add the `--preserve-symlinks` flag. This makes the changes added
in #5950 conditional. By default the old behavior is used. With
the flag set, symlinks are preserved, switching to the new
behavior. This should be considered to be a temporary solution
until we figure out how to solve the symlinked peer dependency
problem in a more general way that does not break everything
else.

Additional test cases are included.

module: preserve symlinks when requiring

Currently, required modules use the real location of the
package/file as their __filename and __dirname, instead
of the symlinked path if it exists. This behaviour is
undocumented (it even goes against documentation in
certain scenarios), creating hard-to-debug problems
for developers who wish to leverage filesystem abstractions
to lay out their application.

This patch resolves all required modules to their canonical
path while still preserving any symlinks within the path,
instead of resolving to their canonical realpath. The one
special case observed is when the main module is loaded
-- in this case, the realpath does need to be used
in order for the main module to load properly.
