Ensure @source globs with symlinks are preserved (#20203)
This PR fixes an issue when working with `@source` and `@source not`
that involves symlinks.

Internally our sources are mapped to a source entry where we have a
`base` path and a `pattern`. You can think about this where we insert a
`.gitignore` file in the `base` path for the given pattern.

However, we optimize these entries to move as many "static" parts into
the base path. For example:
```css
@source "./some/folder/here/*.html";
```

Is mapped to something like:
```ts
{ base: "/projects/my-project", pattern: "./some/folder/here/*.html" }
```
We then optimize it by turning it into:
```ts
{ base: "/projects/my-project/some/folder/here", pattern: "*.html" }
```

While doing this, we also use `dunce::canonicalize` to resolve the
actual paths on disk. This means that a symlink is resolved to their
real paths. This can cause issues because the "real" path is not what
you wrote in the `@source` directives.

So before, it could be that you have this:
```css
@source "./some/symlinked-folder/here/*.html";
```
Which was mapped to this on the Rust side:
```ts
{ base: "/projects/my-project", pattern: "./some/symlinked-folder/here/*.html" }
```
But was then optimized to:
```ts
{ base: "/projects/my-project/some/actual-folder/here", pattern: "*.html" }
```

...and we lost the `symlinked-folder` information. This causes issues as
seen in #17985.

With this PR, we keep the symlinked information in those globs since
that's what you wrote in those `@source` directives.

While setting up integration tests, I stumbled upon an issue because I
wanted to test that ignoring a symlinked folder, but including a single
particular file of that ignored folder resulted in that file being
ignored as well. Let's look at an example:

```css
@source     '../lib';
@source not '../lib/ignored';
@source     '../lib/ignored/except.html';
```

Earlier I mentioned that we create `.gitignore` files based on these
`@source` directives. In this case, when we're dealing with a folder, we
use `**/*` as the contents.

Looking at the example above, we should essentially have something like
this:
```gitignore
# lib/.gitignore
# @source '../lib'
!**/*

# lib/ignored/.gitignore
# @source '../lib/ignored'
**/*

# @source '../lib/ignored/except.html'
!except.html
```

Since it's a `.gitignore` file, we have to invert the globs. But the bug
I noticed is that in reality the result of those gitignores didn't look
like the above, it looked like:
```gitignore
# lib/.gitignore
# @source '../lib'
!**/*

# lib/ignored/.gitignore
# @source '../lib/ignored/except.html'
!except.html

# @source '../lib/ignored'
**/*
```

Notice how the `!except.html` and `**/*` are flipped. When dealing with
`.gitignore` files, the order is important.

This was caused because internally we kept a `BTreeMap` of `BTreeSet`s
where the map was the base path and a set of patterns. The patterns were
sorted because of the `BTreeSet`... which is not what we want.

Fixes: #17985
Closes: #20091

## Test plan

1. Added new tests in the scanner tests (on the Rust side)
2. Added integration tests with a symlink to another folder, outside of
the current folder
2. Added integration tests with a symlink to another folder, inside of
the current folder
2. Added integration tests to ensure that the order of `@source` files
with a folder + file is sorted correctly.
3. Since we're dealing with symlinks in these tests, let's test all OSes
