Support symlink resolution for Terragrunt units.

### `symlinks` - What it does

By default, Terragrunt will ignore symlinks when determining which units it should run. By enabling this experiment, Terragrunt will resolve symlinks and add them to the list of units being run.

### `symlinks` - How to provide feedback

Provide your feedback on the [Experiment: Symlinks](https://github.com/gruntwork-io/terragrunt/discussions/3671) discussion.

### `symlinks` - Criteria for stabilization

To stabilize this feature, the following need to be resolved, at a minimum:

- [ ] Ensure that symlink support continues to work for users referencing symlinks in flags. See [#3622](https://github.com/gruntwork-io/terragrunt/issues/3622).
  - [ ] Add integration tests for all filesystem flags to confirm support with symlinks (or document the fact that they cannot be supported).
- [ ] Ensure that MacOS integration tests still work. See [#3616](https://github.com/gruntwork-io/terragrunt/issues/3616).
  - [ ] Add integration tests for MacOS in CI.
