Subject: [PATCH] Prohibit /proc and /sys to be symlinks

Commit 3291d66b9844 introduced a check for /proc and /sys, making sure
the destination (dest) is a directory (and not e.g. a symlink).

Later, a hunk from commit 0ca91f44f switched from using filepath.Join
to SecureJoin for dest. As SecureJoin follows and resolves symlinks,
the check whether dest is a symlink no longer works.

To fix, do the check without/before using SecureJoin.

Add integration tests to make sure we won't regress.
