Follow symlinks until final destination #6

On some systems (like ubuntu 18.04), readlink does not directly send you to the correct destination, but to alternatives. See this example

> which scala
/usr/bin/scala
> readlink $(which scala)
/etc/alternatives/scala

Readlink has -f option, which follows links recursively. That way it will always find the correct destination.
