- apple#859 added the traversal necessary to load the app
  bundle but forgot to resolve symlinks. This fix adds
  the resolution, making it possible to get default
  system properties from an app bundle Info.plist even
  if the user invokes a command from, for example,
  `/usr/local/bin/container` which is a symlink to the
  actual install path of the bundle.

some calls.
- Breaking change: `CommandLine.executablePathUrl` extension moved from
ContainerPlugin to ContainerVersion.
