Add a way through environment variables to set the --preserve-symlinks
flag. Any non-null value of NODE_PRESERVE_SYMLINKS will enable symlinks.

Add the `--preserve-symlinks` flag. This makes the changes added
in #5950 conditional. By default the old behavior is used. With
the flag set, symlinks are preserved, switching to the new
behavior. This should be considered to be a temporary solution
until we figure out how to solve the symlinked peer dependency
problem in a more general way that does not break everything
else.
Additional test cases are included.
