If somebody at a higher level in the callchain has already
normalized path, this is not a problem, but this will behave
"unexpectedly" when path ends with a dir_sep byte (or more).
E.g. for input path "foo/bar/", the above loop runs zero times and
then ...

... the slash at the end is removed, leaving "foo/bar" in path.

Unlike the strip_last_component(), I think this one is more
carefully done and avoids getting fooled by //extra//slashes// at
the beginning or at the end, which does help in the correctness of
the loop we see below.

Wouldn't this let "resolved" eventually run out of the path
components to strip for a malformed input e.g. "/a/../../b"?

This can add duplicate dir_sep if readlink(2)'ed contents of the
symbolic link already ends with a slash, but I think it (together
with the fact that the code does nothing to normalize what is read
from the symbolic link) probably does not matter, given the way how
get_next_component() is implemented.
