flutter doctor should consider symlink #155474
Description
Steps to reproduce
When using puro(GitHub) to manage flutter versions, I ran into an issue.
It uses symlink so that if you have different environments (different names) that are all the same Flutter/Dart version, it symlinks them to the same version to make sure you only have one version installed on the machine to reduce used space.
If you add one Flutter environment from it to the path, and also one Dart SDK, here is the output when running flutter doctor -v:
[!] Flutter (Channel stable, 3.24.3, on Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.22631.4169], locale pt-BR)
• Flutter version 3.24.3 on channel stable at C:\Users\felip_0vh5fa6\.puro\envs\stable\flutter
! Warning: `dart` on your path resolves to
C:\Users\felip_0vh5fa6\.puro\shared\caches\fdf38910bad4a775c86b6c9a77b4856c3c26c8cd\dart-sdk\bin\dart.exe, which is
not inside your current Flutter SDK checkout at C:\Users\felip_0vh5fa6\.puro\envs\stable\flutter. Consider adding
C:\Users\felip_0vh5fa6\.puro\envs\stable\flutter\bin to the front of your path.

• Dart version 3.5.3
• DevTools version 2.37.3
• If those were intentional, you can disregard the above warnings; however it is recommended to use "git" directly to
perform update checks and upgrades.
### Everything else is fine, focus on the above
! Doctor found issues in 1 category.Expected results
Since that Flutter environment I called stable is actually symlinking to that dart.exe it should not show that warning.

The current check does consider symlinks of the flutter sdk itself, but not of the directory that the binary sits in (in your case, the
cachedir is a symlink to.puro\shared\caches\fdf38910bad4a775c86b6c9a77b4856c3c26c8cd)flutter/packages/flutter_tools/lib/src/doctor.dart

A similar issue was filed by @iapicca which was closed in favor of #115651 that you can check if it resonates / resembles your case or not.

Yes that would be it. Thanks, missed it!
