Fix symlink package spec validation #4870

While developing a library package, I tried to use a symlink:// specification in my test application to point to my library's development checkout. Unfortunately this seemed to cause a number of issues:

  • The symlinked package did not appear in platformio pkg list
  • Every build would "re-install" the symlink package
  • As a result of the "reinstallation", the PlatformIO VSCode plugin would try to re-configure itself mid-build, causing a number of failures as it deleted some of the working build folders

I traced this to the installed symlink package not matching its own pkg spec in package/manager/base.py. It looks like it just needed the same abspath() check as a file:// specification.

When validating symlink:// packages, use the specified symlink path,
the same as for file:// packages.  This fixes missing symlink packages
in 'pkg list' and reinstalling on every build.
