Posix.realpath has incorrect prototype

[Sergio Costas]

Trying to use Posix.realpath with a code like:

    string tmp;
    tmp=Posix.realpath(this.config_path);

is compiled to:

    _tmp35_ = realpath (_tmp34_, NULL, 0);

which fails with error:

    .vala.c:920:2: error: too many argument for function ‘realpath’

because 'realpath' needs only two parameters, not three.

This error exists in both Vala 0.16 and 0.18.

The fix (pointed by Jonas Kulla) is to modify the prototype in posix.vapi to:

    [CCode (cheader_filename = "stdlib.h")]
    public string? realpath (string path, [CCode (array_length=false)] uint8[]?
resolved_path = null);

This bug also applies to vala 0.16, so I will open a new bug report there and attach the diff.
