Fix installing roles containing symlinks (#82911) (#83137)

* Fix installing roles containing symlinks

Fix sanitizing tarfile symlinks relative to the link directory instead of the archive

For example:

role
├── handlers
│   └── utils.yml -> ../tasks/utils/suite.yml

The link ../tasks/utils/suite.yml will resolve to a path outside of the link's directory, but within the role

role/handlers/../tasks/utils/suite.yml

the resolved path relative to the role is tasks/utils/suite.yml, but if the symlink is set to that value, tarfile would extract it from role/handlers/tasks/utils/suite.yml

* Replace overly forgiving test case with tests for a symlink in a subdirectory of the archive and a symlink in the archive dir when these are not equivalent.

* Build test case from role files to make it easier to add test cases

Fixes #82702
Fixes #81965
Fixes #82051

 bugfixes:
   - ansible-galaxy role install - normalize tarfile paths and symlinks using ``ansible.utils.path.unfrackpath`` and consider them valid as long as the realpath is in the tarfile's role directory (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/81965).
+  - ansible-galaxy role install - fix symlinks (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/82702, https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/81965).
