What does this PR do?
This clarifies the behaviour of the auditbeat file integrity module in its handling of symlinks and ensures that the current documented behaviour of resolving path to their absolute path where possible is honored.
Why is it important?
The current documentation has been confusing for some users because is does not specify the behaviour wrt the handling of symlinks, and the current documented behaviour is not honored wrt absolute path resolution.
