Support symlinks-to-symlinks

Summary:
In response to [this comment](https://github.com/facebook/react-native/pull/9009#issuecomment-245322397).

I could be wrong here, but I think Watchman can't handle symlinks, so we need to make sure symlinks-to-symlinks are handled up front.
Closes https://github.com/facebook/react-native/pull/9792
