[Libguestfs] [nbdkit PATCH] plugin: add and use nbdkit_realpath

Introduce a new helper function to resolve a path name, calling
nbdkit_error on failure: other than doing what nbdkit_absolute_path
does, it also checks that the file exist (and thus avoid errors later
on).
Apply it where an existing path is required, both in nbdkit itself and
in plugins.
