Rathole config watcher doesn't work with symlinks

[yashgorana]

Describe the bug When config files are symlinks, rathole won't pickup any changes file pointed to by the symlink. This is needed to detect any changes that are made to a Kubernetes ConfigMap mounted to a rathole pod at a path.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Create a test/config.toml
2. Create a symlink ln -s ./test/config.toml ./config.toml
3. Run rathole --server ./config.toml
4. Edit test/config.toml or config.toml to change the server config to bind_addr = "0.0.0.0:1333"
5. Observe changes are not picked up and rathole doesn't hot reload.

Configuration

[server]
bind_addr = "0.0.0.0:2333"

[server.services.domain]
token = "domain-specific-rathole-secret"
bind_addr = "0.0.0.0:8001"

Logs

No hot reload log even after changing the config
