The behavior of function `path/filepath.EvalSymlinks()` has
changed in Go v1.23:

- https://go.dev/doc/go1.23#minor_library_changes
- https://tip.golang.org/doc/godebug
As a consequences, starting with Podman 5.3.0, when installing
on Windows (WSL) using scoop, Podman fails to start because it
fails to find helper binaries. Scoop copies Podman binaries in
a folder of type Junction and `EvalSymlinks` returns an error.
The problem is described in #24557.
To address this problem we are checking if a path is a `Symlink`
before calling `EvalSymlinks` and, if it's not (hardlinks, mount
points or canonical files), we are calling `path/filepath.Clean`
for consistency. In fact `path/filepath.EvalSymlinks`, after
evaluating a symlink target, calls `Clean` too.
