Jonathan Lebon 5f844b6991 setfiles: clarify documented path resolution behaviour
One thing that confused me when investigating
https://github.com/SELinuxProject/selinux/issues/248 (i.e.
https://github.com/coreos/fedora-coreos-tracker/issues/512) was that the
manual page for `setfiles` seemed to imply that paths were fully
resolved. This was consistent with the issues above where `setfiles` was
failing because the target of the symbolic link didn't exist.

But in fact, the wording around symbolic links in
`setfiles`/`restorecon` refers actually to whether the parent
directories are canonicalized via `realpath(3)` before labeling.

Clarify the man pages to explain this.
