Log:
[lit] Don't call realpath on the path used for test suite search

This preserves symlinks in paths, so that someone can symlink more tests
into a larger test suite. For example, debuginfo-tests is currently
designed to be checked out into clang/test. With this change, it can be
symlinked into place instead, which works better with the monorepo.
