Description:
------------
see table for all version PHP (8.0.3 - 7.1.3)

https://github.com/symfony/symfony/pull/40866#issuecomment-823991452



Test script:
---------------
<?php

$dir = __DIR__ . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . 'dir';
mkdir($dir);

$file = $dir . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . 'file';
$link1 = $dir . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . 'link1';
$link2 = $dir . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . 'link2';

touch($file);

symlink($file, $link1);
symlink($link1, $link2);

echo 'PHP=' . PHP_VERSION . ', realpath=' . basename(realpath($link2)) . ', readlink=' . basename(readlink($link2)) ;

unlink($file);
unlink($link1);
unlink($link2);
rmdir($dir);

The erroneous readlink() has apparently been fixed inadvertently
when php_sys_readlink() has been refactored[1].

Anyhow, PHP 7.3 is in security mode[2], so unless this would be
regarded as security issue, the fix will not be backported.
