This informs chase_symlinks that symlinks should be treated as if the path given by --root= is the root of their file system. With the parent commit, this allows tmpfiles to create files as the root user under a prefix that may be owned by an unprivileged user. In particular, this fixes the case where tmpfiles generates initial files in a staging root directory for packaging under a directory owned by the unprivileged packager user (e.g. in Gentoo).
