package.bbclass: better handling of middle-path dir symlinks

For example in a directory structure like this
    .
    ├── symlink -> foo/bar
    └── foo
        └── bar
            └── file
'file' could be referenced by specifying e.g. 'foo/bar/file' or
'symlink/file'.  In cases like this populate_packages() might crash if
the file was referenced (in FILES) via the symlinked directory. The
outcome depends on how the user defined FILES_pn.  This patch should
make the function behave more consistently. It looks for files which are
referenced via symlinked directories and handles them separately,
failing if their parent directory is a non-existent path. For example,
defining FILES_{PN} = "symlink/file" causes a build failure because
symlinks target 'foo/bar' is not included at all.
