// evalSymlinksInScope will evaluate symlinks in `path` within a scope `root` and return
// a result guaranteed to be contained within the scope `root`, at the time of the call.
// Symlinks in `root` are not evaluated and left as-is.
// Errors encountered while attempting to evaluate symlinks in path will be returned.
// Non-existing paths are valid and do not constitute an error.
// `path` has to contain `root` as a prefix, or else an error will be returned.
// Trying to break out from `root` does not constitute an error.
//
// Example:
//   If /foo/bar -> /outside,
//   FollowSymlinkInScope("/foo/bar", "/foo") == "/foo/outside" instead of "/oustide"
//
// IMPORTANT: it is the caller's responsibility to call evalSymlinksInScope *after* relevant symlinks
// are created and not to create subsequently, additional symlinks that could potentially make a
// previously-safe path, unsafe. Example: if /foo/bar does not exist, evalSymlinksInScope("/foo/bar", "/foo")
// would return "/foo/bar". If one makes /foo/bar a symlink to /baz subsequently, then "/foo/bar" should
// no longer be considered safely contained in "/foo".
