[PATCH] Add support for symlinks in TeX-synctex-output-page

If the path leading up to TeX-master contains symbolic links,
expand-file-name might not return a path that matches the synctex
file.  This patch changes TeX-synctex-output-page to also try the
result of file-truename when looking for the output page.
