Fix cargo add overwriting symlinked Cargo.toml files (#15281)
### What does this PR try to resolve?

This PR fixes a bug where `cargo add` breaks symlinks to Cargo.toml
files. Currently, when Cargo.toml is a symlink and `cargo add` is used
to add a dependency, the symlink is replaced with a regular file,
breaking the link to the original target file.

This issue was reported in #15241 where a user who relies on symlinked
Cargo.toml files found that `cargo add` breaks their workflow.

Fixes #15241

### How should we test and review this PR?

I've modified `LocalManifest::write()` to check if the path is a
symlink, and if so, follow it to get the actual target path. This
ensures we write to the actual file rather than replacing the symlink.

I've also added a test in `tests/testsuite/cargo_add/symlink.rs` that:
1. Creates a symlinked Cargo.toml file
2. Runs `cargo add` to add a dependency
3. Verifies the symlink is preserved and the dependency is added to the
target file

I've manually tested this fix and confirmed it works correctly.
