Allow klipper-mcu-added.sh to send a RESTART command to the printer, even if the printer file is a symlink in a directory with the sticky bit set. Improve logging
Symlinks cannot be followed if they are in a directory with the sticky bit set, like /tmp, if the symlink is owned by a different user.
This causes [ -e /tmp/printer ] to evaluate to false. This also means that trying to write to /tmp/printer fails unless the user owns the /tmp/printer symlink.
Added a loop to keep dereferencing until either the -e test evaluates true or no longer testing a symlink.
With this change, powering up the MCU while klippy is running results in RESTART being sent to /tmp/printer and the printer becoming usable without any user intervention.
