fix: resolve symlinked container paths before building tar entries (#1130)

Docker 29.7 extracts copied archives through `os.Root`, which refuses to follow a symlink to an absolute target, so copying into `/var/run/act` fails with `path escapes from parent` on the many images that link `/var/run` to `/run`. The daemon now resolves every path component for us before any tar entry name is built, and the destination is created with one directory entry per missing component, which no daemon version rejects.

Verified against real daemons (29.4.0, 29.5.0, 29.5.1, 29.5.3, 29.6.2, 29.7.0-rc.1) with `debian:bookworm` (absolute symlink) and `alpine:3` (relative symlink), and against `moby/go-archive` v0.2.0 through the pending fix branch.

1. Fixes https://gitea.com/gitea/runner/issues/1128
1. Upstream bug: https://github.com/moby/moby/issues/53258
1. Supersedes the no-op change in https://gitea.com/gitea/runner/pulls/1129, which cannot help since the daemon strips leading slashes itself
