[OE-core] [PATCH 1/7] update-rc.d: process symlinks recursively

[Christopher Larson]

From: Christopher Larson <chris_larson at mentor.com>

When processing startup scripts which use update-alternatives, we need to keep
resolving the symlink recursively until we hit a real file, due to the
alternatives indirection. This fixes the ability to run certain postinsts at
do_rootfs time, which is needed for good read-only-rootfs support.
