By default, the os.walk function from Python does not follow symlinks, and so running whatmp3 against directories containing symlinks is unsuccessful.

This simple PR includes a new option for whatmp3, -f, which causes it to pass followlinks=True to the os.walk function, allowing whatmp3 to follow symlinks in operating systems which support them.

Thanks mate, I actually made this the default. It seems semantically correct to always follow symlinks.

If this comes back and bites people, I'll add in a -F / --nofollowsymlinks style option. 😅 🤞
