bao-qian 34b33b34f6 backup: Dereference symlinks when building tarball.
In docker-zulip installs, /etc/zulip/zulip.conf,
/etc/zulip/zulip-secrets.conf, and /home/zulip/uploads are all
symlinks into the `/data` directory which is mounted as a Docker
Volume.  By default, `tar` does not dereference symlinks, leading to
backups that are missing these critical pieces.

Add `-h` to the `tar` invocation, to follow symlinks, so backups in
Docker have all of their pieces.  Since none of the contents of the
backup intentionally use symlinks, this is safe.
