This PR adds support for symlinks to emulated filesystem in fs.ts. The main motivation is for compiling projects where the
node_modulesfolder is heavily symlinked, like with pnpm.The only real changes required were adding
readlinkand updatinglstatto return the symlink inode entry vs the real file/folder.Only part of this PR that I was having trouble with was updating the web UI to show symlinks in a nice way. I hacked around it by making
resetFileSystemcreate symlinks when the file content started with// symlink:, and that worked pretty nicely.
