Appwrite cli can't resolve symlinks

[aandrosov-freelancer]

👟 Reproduction steps

Pointing to threads in our community you can share code using symlinks and then Appwrite cli resolve symlinks automatically.

• https://appwrite.io/threads/1100486753833451551 (Drake wrote 'ya, the Appwrite CLI WILL RESOLVE THE SYMLINK and include it in the tar.gz')
• https://appwrite.io/threads/1160519311270625324 (Drake wrote 'you'll need to CREATE A SYMLINK in your function folder that points to the common code')
• https://appwrite.io/threads/1166449773386158161 (Drake wrote 'Your parent directory is probably not included in the code that is deployed. One way to make sure it's included is to USE SYMLINKS.')

I have created a simple example of symlink usage: https://github.com/aandrosov-freelancer/appwrite-code-sharing-functions-example

You can copy it and run signup function locally using Appwrite CLI

👍 Expected behavior

Appwrite cli resolves symlinks and function works well and see common directory

👎 Actual Behavior

Appwrite cli throws exception:

      throw new Ctor(message);
