Update: I am submitting a PR to Chokidar for the underlying issue. If that gets merged then this PR can be replaced with a dependency update instead. That'd be better. |

tl;dr
Chokidar has a bug where it does not filter paths by the provided pattern if they are inside a symlink. The bug is two years old.
This PR rechecks the file path against the pattern if we're watching to work around the Chokidar bug.
It adds a dependency on minimatch but that dependency already existed via a transient dependency (actually several versions are referenced currently due to already existing incorrect transient dependencies on glob in some reporters).
Chokidar issue:
paulmillr/chokidar#967
When that's fixed this PR can be reverted, but the issue is 2 years old already (reported 2020).
