Théophane Hufschmitt 90e847698b Fix the access of symlinks to host files in the sandbox
https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/10456 fixed the addition of symlink
store paths to the sandbox, but also made it so that the hardcoded
sandbox paths (like `/etc/hosts`) were now bind-mounted without
following the possible symlinks. This made these files unreadable if
there were symlinks (because the sandbox would now contain a symlink to
an unreachable file rather than the underlying file).
In particular, this broke FOD derivations on NixOS as `/etc/hosts` is a
symlink there.

Fix that by canonicalizing all these hardcoded sandbox paths before
adding them to the sandbox.
