(aws_s3_assets): (Assets with symlink's are failing when relative paths are used)

[mrlikl]

Describe the bug

When Asset's are created with relative paths, cdk synth/deploy is failing with the error

Error response from daemon: invalid symlink "/asset-input/folder/handler" -> "../../../../../actual-location/xxx/handlers"
jsii.errors.JavaScriptError: 
  Error: Failed to bundle asset xxx/createWorkerBundledAsset/Stage, bundle output is located at /xxx/cdk.out/asset.0517c4be29ed51b767f1e92ce92a5c16d1b49bb6f88882f73828581ed35f4fef-error: Error: docker exited with status 1

Expected Behavior

Current Behavior

The symlinks are working when absolute paths are used and synth/deployment is working fine

Reproduction Steps

The env is a windows machine with wsl2 where the asset is being bundled -

        path = f"{Path.cwd()}/cdk/stacks/functions/handler" <- said location has a symlink to root of the project where cdk.json resides

        container_command = "cp -au . /asset-output && pwd && ls -la"
        asset = Asset(self, "createWorkerBundledAsset",
            path=path,
            bundling=BundlingOptions(
                image=DockerImage.from_registry("alpine"),
                bundling_file_access=BundlingFileAccess.VOLUME_COPY,
                entrypoint=['/bin/sh', '-c'],
                network="host",
                user="root",
                command=[container_command],
                output_type=BundlingOutput.AUTO_DISCOVER
            ),
            follow_symlinks=SymlinkFollowMode.ALWAYS
        )

When you bundle your assets with docker, the symbolic link can't be outside of the context. I guess this is a limitation of docker.
