Describe the bug

Coverage is only rendered on real paths, not soft link paths.
It seems to be a problem that has been around for a long time. I would like to ask if it has not been dealt with or if there is any consideration.
I think it should also be necessary to support the rendering of symbolic link paths?

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. just create a simple code with xx_test.go
2. and create this folder symbolic link
3. then open symbolic link folder in vscode
4. toggle to show go-cover

I had see in here to say that's a actual path: https://github.com/golang/vscode-go/blob/master/extension/src/goCover.ts#L231
so why can't use symbolic link path to render

Hi, thank you for reporting this issue.

Symbolic links are notoriously hard to deal with, as it requires every tool in a chain to preserve them. With that said, I hope that we can avoid this bug.
