Not finding Pipfile via PIPENV_PIPFILE with relative location

[n-batalha]

Issue description

pipenv is not finding a Pipfile provided with the PIPENV_PIPFILE variable when provided as a relative link, or an absolute link with relative notation e.g. /Users/REDACTED/Documents/git/wiki/src/somefolder/somefolder/../../../Pipfile.

It fails with RuntimeError: Given PIPENV_PIPFILE is not found!

Running PIPENV_PIPFILE=/Users/REDACTED/git/wiki/Pipfile pipenv run jupyter --help works.

Expected result

It finds the Pipfile

I've since updated my issue after further investigation and narrowed down the cause. One was the current issue, and another was #4115.

For those looking to address the above, you can use realpath to transform the link into one that pipenv understands.

Can this be rechecked on pipenv==2022.8.19?
