Vim Explorer does not work with symbolic links

[tallysmartins]

If you have a symbolic link to a folder in your File Tree it shows up like "folder_name@" and does not work.

I'm investigating what should be possible to do, but so far it's an
issue with netrw "/

Maybe this link will solve this issue, but I'll take a deeper look into it later.

How do these commit address the issue? It seems that symlinks are still not followed (8.0.0237).

@perglr not natively, still. Those commits were trying to make some workaround this, but it was not effective. If the symlink was a folder, it'd set it as project root, but that's still not a feasible solution.
