Description
### How are you using the lua-language-server?
NeoVim
### Which OS are you using?
MacOS
### What is the issue affecting?
Diagnostics/Syntax Checking
### Expected Behaviour
I expected ignoring symlinks.
### Actual Behaviour
I have a plugin I'm developing on my machine and I'm using Packer (plugin manager) to install the plugin in a plugins directory. Local plugins are just symlinked. This causes the diagnostics to warn about duplicates in every single annotation.
If I remove the symlink diagnostic stop spamming warnings.
### Reproduction steps
1. Install latest stable neovim
2. Install Packer or, I think, any other plugin manager
3. Install local plugin via plugin manager `use("~/path_to_plugin")`
2. Open any file which contains annotations
4. See warnings

Research direction
Reproduce the issue with NeoVim, Packer, and a local plugin installed through a symlink, then compare diagnostics with the symlink removed. Start from the diagnostics/syntax-checking path that reports duplicate annotations. Done means symlinked workspaces no longer produce duplicate warnings while normal diagnostics still appear.
