This PR adds support for symlinks to emulated filesystem in fs.ts. The main motivation is for compiling projects where the node_modules folder is heavily symlinked, like with pnpm.
The only real changes required were adding readlink and updating lstat to return the symlink inode entry vs the real file/folder.

resetFileSystemcreate symlinks when the file content started with// symlink:, and that worked pretty nicely.
