kbuild: resolve symlinks for O= properly

Browse Source 
Currently, Kbuild follows the logical chain of directories for the O=
option, just like 'cd' (or 'realpath --logical') does.

Example:

    $ mkdir -p /tmp/a /tmp/x/y
    $ ln -s /tmp/x/y /tmp/a/b
    $ realpath /tmp/a/b/..
    /tmp/x
    $ realpath --logical /tmp/a/b/..
    /tmp/a
    $ make O=/tmp/a/b/.. defconfig
    make[1]: Entering directory '/tmp/a'
      [snip]
    make[1]: Leaving directory '/tmp/a'

'make O=/tmp/a/b/.. defconfig' creates the kernel configuration in
/tmp/a instead of /tmp/x despite /tmp/a/b/.. resolves to /tmp/x.

This is because Kbuild internally uses the 'cd ... && pwd' for the
path resolution, but this behavior is not predictable for users.
Additionally, it is not consistent with how the Kbuild handles the
M= option or GNU Make works with 'make -C /tmp/a/b/..'.

Using the physical directory structure for the O= option seems more
reasonable.

The comment says "expand a shell special character '~'", but it has
already been expanded to the home directory in the command line.
