This pull request makes a small change to the VFSFileImpl::openNextFile method to improve support for symbolic links in the virtual file system implementation.

  • Now allows files of type DT_LNK (symbolic links) to be opened in addition to regular files and directories, by updating the type check in vfs_api.cpp.

We need to support symlinked directories for VFS objects in order to support Homebrew packaging paradigms (they LOVE symlinks to the Cellar)

Untested 😅
