More tests for realpath(3)

Here is a patch that adds 'lib/libc/tests/gen/realpath2_test.c'.

The first test triggers the out of bounds read of the 'left' array. It only
fails when realpath.c is compiled with '-fsanitize=address' so I'm not sure how
useful this test is. I didn't manage to read more than one byte beyond the
buffer or trigger some visible faulty behavior.

The other test checks for ENOENT when running into an empty symlink. This
matches NetBSD's realpath(3) semantics. Previously, empty symlinks were treated
like ".".
