Subject: Resolve real path name for theme file

 We are using alternative theme paths. Some of them are symlinks like
 gdm3.css. It points to a different directory and we need to ensure
 assets are loaded from the real theme path then (assets path are
 relative to it).
 Resolve them symlinks to ensure we use the original file itself when
 loading the stylesheet.
