[Query] Canonicalise the working directory before starting search.

The existing code can fail after following a symlink in Dolphin and
searching "from there".

Test case is if you have a symlink in ~/Desktop pointing to ~/Documents.
If you follow the symlink, Dolphin will consider its working directory
~/Desktop/Documents.

Baloo does not follow symlinks when indexing (so indexes the canonical
names). Searching "from" a breadcrumb trail, ~/Desktop/Documents, will
not give any matches.

Canonicalise the working folder on entry to convert the breadcrumb trails
to actual folders.

This change has already been done for the command line balooctl and
the equivalent has been submitted for filenamesearch
