[PATCH v4] Makefile: Dereference symlinks on install

Adds the `-L` flag (follow symlinks) to the `cp` commands used to
install `libsbi.a` and `include/sbi/*`.
This should make no difference in regular compilation. However,
it does make a difference when compiling with bazel. Namely,
bazel's sandboxing will turn all the source files into symlinks.
After installation with `cp` the destination files will be
symlinks pointing to the sandbox symlinks. As the sandbox files
are removed when compilation ends, the just-copied symlinks
become dangling symlinks.
The resulting include files will be
unusable due to the dangling symlink issues. Adding `-L` when
copying ensures that the files obtained by executing the `install`
targets are always dereferenced to files, rather than symlinks,
eliminating this issue.
