D10990: Add "Open symlink destination folder" into symlink's context menu

[Nathaniel Graham]

  @rominf how about "Show Original" instead of "Open symlink destination folder". Let's try to use more natural, less nerdy terminology here. Also, can you conditionally add this to the file menu, too? Let's try not to have any functionality that you can only access via a context menu.
  
  @markg and @elvisangelaccio I think this is worth having. We expose the symlinking functionality pretty heavily: when you drag-and-drop anything, the option to create a symlink is an omnipresent option in the little menu that appears. Given that, it's not unreasonable to imagine that regular users will indeed be creating symlinks. A major problem is being unable to find the original, and this solves that.
  
  Also, by default, there's no visible UI, so it's not cluttering anything up: in order to find the menu item, you need to use a context menu (expert UI). I don't see the harm.
  
  macOS Finder has this feature, and it's usually touted as a beacon of simplicity. I think we can add it to Dolphin too.
