    oe/copy_buildsystem.py: dereference symlink
    
    When there is a relative symlink in the layer, for example:
    symA -> ../out/of/layer/file
    
    symA will be invalid fater copied, it would be invalid from build time
    if it points to a relative path, and would be invalid after extracted
    the sdk if it points to a absolute py. Dereference symlink when copy
    will fix the problem.
    
    Use tar rather than shutil.copytree() to copy is because:
    1) shutil.copytree(symlinks=Fasle) has bugs when dereference symlinks:
       https://bugs.python.org/issue21697
       And Ubunutu 1404 doesn't upgrade python3 to fix the problem.
    
    2) shutil.copytree(symlinks=False) raises errors when there is a invalid
       symlink, and tar just prints a warning, tar is preferred here since
       the real world is unpredicatable
    
    3) tar is faster than shutil.copytree() as said by oe.path.copytree()
    
    So use tar to copy.
