BUG FIXES:
- An rsync daemon that is receiving files with "use chroot = no" no longer
- sanitizes the symlink target strings. This means that the symlinks
- values will now be accepted (and returned) with all their symlink info
- intact. Also, in order to keep things safe, any option that tells a
- non-chroot daemon to treat some symlinks as their referent (such as
- --copy-links or --keep-dirlinks) now manually checks the symlink chain
- to ensure that the symlinks do not try to escape past the top of the
- module's path. This makes a non-chroot daemon behave the same as a
- chroot daemon with regard to symlinks, and also avoids a potential
- problem where pre-existing symlinks could have escaped the module's
- hierarchy.

these options are relative to the destination dir). The old code
incorrectly chopped off all "../" prefixes for these options, no matter
