File autocomplete in :open breaks with symlinks

[zebubull]

Summary

Trying to use ../ in :open while in a symlinked directory shows autocomplete from the parent directory of the symlink source rather than the symlink. Actually opening the file does not do this and goes to the correct parent directory.

Reproduction Steps

I tried this:

1. mkdir a
2. mkdir b
3. touch file_in_root
4. cd a
5. touch file_in_a
6. ln -s ../b link_to_b
7. cd link_to_b
8. hx
9. :open ../

I expected this to happen:
Receive autocomplete from a e.g. link_to_b/ file_in_a

Instead, this happened:
Receive autocomplete from the root folder e.g. a/ b/ file_in_root

This is not a bug this is simply how symlinks work. If you run ls .. instead of opening helix you will find that it prints the same thing helix suggests.
