Description

## Steps to Reproduce

1. Open Settings -> Languages & Frameworks -> Flutter
2. Enter a symlink path in the Flutter SDK path field and click Apply
3. The path is resolved

_Please tell us what you were doing and what went wrong_

The path shouldn't be resolved since this doesn't allow me to update the Flutter version using FVM in the shell.
The path is resolved which causes me to manually change the Flutter SDK version in the settings as well.

I use FVM for handling different Flutter versions in my ongoing projects. Switching a version works by calling `fvm use VERSION` in the console, where the symlink to the new Flutter version path is changed in `.fvm/flutter_sdk`

If i remember correctly the absolute path to the symlink could be entered in the mentioned SDK path text field and wasn't resolved when i clicked Apply or Ok in an earlier version of this plugin, which allowed me to only change the Flutter version in the shell which was then recognized and automatically updated in the IDE.

Now this isn't possible anymore since the path to the symlink isn't kept but resolved.
