Research direction

Start by reproducing `edgedb migrations apply --schema-dir=` with migration files copied elsewhere and symlinked into the `migrations` directory. Trace how the migration-apply command discovers and checks files when `--schema-dir` is used. Done means symlinked migration files are recognized and the command no longer reports the migrations directory as empty.
