[Toybox] [PATCH] realpath/readlink: fixes and improvements.

The main feature here (and motivation for this change) is adding
--relative-to to realpath for 4.19 kernel builds, but I've also added -e,
-m, -q, and -z too.

I've added tests for realpath (starting from a modified version of the
readlink tests, but also with realpath-specific extensions).

I've changed xabspath() to handle ENOTDIR for the "file/dir" case, which
we previously got wrong. The tests were wrong too, but with this patch
they pass for both toybox and coreutils 8.30.

One interesting change here is that -q doesn't mean what you'd expect it
to mean. coreutils' readlink --help output doesn't say anything for -q
(a joke?) but their realpath --help is accurate when it says "suppress
most error messages". That is: -q does *not* suppress regular output as
it does in so many other commands, just ["most"] errors. Since we don't
output any of those errors anyway, -q is a no-op for toybox (at least
unless we start being more noisy on failure).
