Preserve the uploads-relative path for symlinked imports.

realpath() resolves symbolic links. If a relative path under the uploads directory points through a symlink to a target outside that directory, lines 610–614 replace the uploads-visible path with the external target before wp_insert_attachment() stores it. The attachment URL can then fail to map to the symlink path.

When this occurs, pass the normalized absolute path of the original symlink location, not the realpath() target, so WordPress stores the correct uploads-relative path.

Review comment at @src/Media_Command.php at line 613:
Update the path assignment around $file and $absolute_file so symlinked imports
under uploads retain the normalized absolute path of the original symlink
location instead of the realpath target; preserve the existing behavior for
non-symlinked imports.
