resolvePaths: dereference root path symlink

If the root path is a symlink dereference it by appending os.PathSeparator. Then the os.Lstat() in filepath.Walk() will correctly see the directory The root path might be a symlink in order for developers to place a project under GOPATH without modifying GOPATH.
