Implement a consistent realpath function in certbot.compat.filesystem (#7242)

Fixes #7115 

This PR creates a `realpath` method in `filesystem`, whose goal is to replace any call to `os.path.realpath` in Certbot. The reason is that `os.path.realpath` is broken on some versions of Python for Windows. See https://bugs.python.org/issue9949. The function created here works consistently across Linux and Windows.

As for the other forbidden functions in `os` module, our `certbot.compat.os` will raise an exception if its `path.realpath` function is invoked, and using the `os` module from Python is forbidden from the pylint check implemented in our CI.

Every call to `os.path.realpath` is corrected in `certbot` and `certbot-apache` modules.

* Forbid os.path.realpath

* Finish implementation

* Use filesystem.realpath

* Control symlink loops also for Linux

* Add a test for forbidden method

* Import a new object from os.path module

* Use same approach of wrapping than certbot.compat.os

* Correct errors

* Fix dependencies

* Make path module internal
