Subject: [PATCH] Fix plugin directory resolution for plugin managers

Use resolve() to properly handle symbolic links when determining
the plugin installation directory. Add fallback to search in
&runtimepath if the licenses directory is not found in the
primary location.

This fixes issues when the plugin is installed via plugin managers
like vim-plug, packer.nvim, lazy.nvim, etc., where the plugin
directory may not be directly relative to the working directory.
