BUG: Alternative fix to bug #8423

The patch used to fix this bug used SystemTools::GetRealPath which works
only for existing files.  It broke the case of using the command
get_filename_component for a non-existing file.  Also, it changed
long-standing behavior in a possibly incompatible way even for existing
files.  This reverts the original fix and instead updates the
documentation to be consistent with the behavior.
