Oliver Charles 912a825d1e Disable exec symlink resolution for PostgreSQL 9.2
When building PostgreSQL with plugins under NixOS, NixOS will create a
postgresql-and-plugins directory which symlinks PostgreSQL and all the plugins
into a single directory. Unfortunately, the plugins will not actually be usable
by PostgreSQL because it will still try and locate them in the original
PostgreSQL share directory, not postgresql-and-plugins.

In this commit, I have patched resolve_symlinks to always return success, which
matches the behavior if HAVE_READLINK is false (so presumably invalid paths are
never passed to this function).
