8309138: Fix container tests for jdks with symlinked conf dir

[zzambers]

Problem:
Container tests copy tested jdk into container to do testing on it. This however does not work correctly for builds, in which conf directory is symlinked (such as fedora/rhel packages), causing failures due to missing config files in container.

Solution:
Symlinks are followed when copying tested jdk.

Testing:
tier1: OK
containers and jdk/internal/platform: OK
