Merge #947

947: Resolve symlinks for cargo and xargo home. r=Emilgardis a=Alexhuszagh

Resolve symlinks for the xargo and cargo home (as well as the Nix store) prior to mounting, since they are mounted at a fixed location anyway. This is because podman mounts symlinks as root by default. We always canonicalize the paths on the host, after creating them, to ensure that any symlinks are resolved.

Say we have `/path/to/home`, and `/path/to` is a symlink but `/path/to/home` doesn't exist yet. Trying to canonicalize `/path/to/home/.xargo` will fail, and will still be a symlink if we maybe canonicalize before. First creating the directories and canonicalizing them on the host should always work.

Change the mount points from `/cargo`, `/xargo`, and `/rust` to the same paths as on the host, which avoids unnecessary recompilation when `cargo` and `cross` are intermittently used.

Closes #280.
Closes #373.
Closes #551.
