Unable to read symbolic link in debug mode

[Buckram123]

RustEmbed::get fails to get a symbolic link file in debug mode, but suceeds in "release" see #235 for example

@Buckram123 Thanks for reporting this. Would you be interested in a PR for this fix? It seems to me we read the file directly here https://github.com/pyrossh/rust-embed/blob/master/utils/src/lib.rs#L136
What we need to do is read the file metadata and check if its a sym_link and if it is we need to use the fs::read_link fn to get the path to the actual file.

This fn seems to be a better option, std::fs::canonicalize
