ebuild: follow symbolic links in find_newer_filtered_fn

Otherwise, changes in source code symbolically-linked into the
workspace will not be considered when deciding whether to invoke
e.g. Ninja.

This change is strongly preferable to asking people to remove
.mu_build_build_timestamp to force a Ninja run.

Deals reasonably gracefully with symbolic link loops, at least in
trivial cases: "find: File system loop detected"

Type: improvement
