Preserve directory-level standalone build symlinks (#9723)
## Summary

This PR improves our "don't fully resolve symlinks" behavior for
`python-build-standalone` builds based on learnings from
https://github.com/indygreg/python-build-standalone/issues/380#issuecomment-2526575235.

Specifically, we can now robustly detect whether a target executable
will lead to a valid `prefix` or not, and iteratively resolve symlinks
until we find a valid target executable.

## Test Plan

### Direct symlink to `python`

Correctly resolves to the symlink target, rather than the symlink
itself.

```
❯ ln -s /Users/crmarsh/.local/share/uv/python/cpython-3.12.6-macos-aarch64-none/bin/python foo
❯ cargo run venv --python ./foo
❯ cat .venv/pyvenv.cfg
home = /Users/crmarsh/.local/share/uv/python/cpython-3.12.6-macos-aarch64-none/bin
implementation = CPython
uv = 0.5.7
version_info = 3.12.6
include-system-site-packages = false
prompt = uv
❯ .venv/bin/python -c "import sys"
```

### Symlink to the Python installation

Correctly does _not_ resolve the symlink.

```
❯ ln -s /Users/crmarsh/.local/share/uv/python/cpython-3.12.6-macos-aarch64-none bar
❯ cargo run venv --python ./bar
❯ cat .venv/pyvenv.cfg
home = /Users/crmarsh/workspace/uv/bar/bin
implementation = CPython
uv = 0.5.7
version_info = 3.12.6
include-system-site-packages = false
prompt = uv
❯ .venv/bin/python -c "import sys"
```

### Direct symlink to `python` in a symlinked Python installation

Correctly resolves the direct symlink, but not the symlink of the Python
installation.

```
❯ ln -s bar/bin/python baz
❯ cargo run venv --python ./baz
❯ cat .venv/pyvenv.cfg
home = /Users/crmarsh/workspace/uv/bar/bin
implementation = CPython
uv = 0.5.7
version_info = 3.12.6
include-system-site-packages = false
prompt = uv
❯ .venv/bin/python -c "import sys"
```
