Relative symlinks are created relative to the current directory

[turikhay]

This is a minor inconsistency with Node.js. According to their docs:

Relative targets are relative to the link’s parent directory.

Take a look:

const MemFs = require('memfs');
const fs = MemFs.Volume.fromJSON({
    '/test/target': 'foo',
    '/test/folder': null
});

// create symlink
// here memfs resolves '../target' relative to cwd, not '/test/folder'
fs.symlinkSync('../target', '/test/folder/link');

// Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '/test/folder/link'
fs.readFileSync('/test/folder/link');

const fs = require('fs');

// create symlink
fs.symlinkSync('../target', 'test/folder/link');

// ok!
fs.readFileSync('test/folder/link');

(For your convenience, I've created the test repo)
