Summary:                    fixing up bundles fails in short windows path names
Description: 
I've set CPACK_PACKAGE_DIRECTORY to a temporary directory to avoid the dreaded
maximum path length on Windows. The API used to get the temp dir yields a short
path name and I have no influence on that. That is, the path is something like
C:/Users/mylong~1/AppData/Local/Temp/packagingDir instead of the long path
C:/Users/mylongusername/AppData/Local/Temp/packagingDir.

Since verify_app generates an absolute path to the dependencies of an executable
using CMake API which yields a long path the two paths passed to
gp_resolved_file_type are different when compared using STREQUAL. This lets
verify_app think the bundling was not successful which in turn aborts the build.

I could fix this with the attached path which converts both the original_file
and the resolved_file parameters in gp_resolved_file_type to 'real paths' before
further using them. This converts the short pathname passed in through
CPACK_PACKAGE_DIRECTORY to a long one.
