error: path '/var' is a symlink on darwin in projects with flakes

[alanpearce]

Describe the bug

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Use macOS
2. Check the default value of $TMPDIR

$ echo $TMPDIR
/var/folders/pc/qbb_zqd968z2j9wwkvtg7vv00000gn/T/
$ realpath $TMPDIR
/private/var/folders/pc/qbb_zqd968z2j9wwkvtg7vv00000gn/T

4. Try to use lorri watch in a project with a flake (e.g. LnL7/nix-darwin)

Nov 16 12:02:36.796 ERRO Exit {
    cmd: "cd \"/Users/alan/projects/github.com/lnl7/nix-darwin\" && \"nix\" \"store\" \"add-file\" \"/var/folders/pc/qbb_zqd968z2j9wwkvtg7vv00000gn/T/.tmpKSQpFz/bash-export\"",
    status: Some(
        1,
    ),
    logs: [
        LogLine(
            "Text(\"error: path \'/var\' is a symlink\")",
        ),
    ],
}

Expected behavior
lorri should resolve links before calling nix store

Additional context

I have no idea where macOS sets $TMPDIR, otherwise I'd consider changing that.

I also just ran into this problem. My work-around was to add export TMPDIR=$(readlink -f "$TMPDIR") to my .envrc files, just before evaluating lorri.
