I was doing some testing on the google-drive: GIO backend (this is not the 
gdoc: duplicity backend, but rather using GNOME's abstraction layer to talk to 
Google through the giobackend code) and noticed some problems.

(A) Getting a list of files was broken because this backend chooses to use 
internal IDs for all its filename. Only the display_name() call gets the real 
user-set filename. Which, OK. We can use that instead. This will work for 
google-drive: as well as all other backends, since that is the 
user-set/user-visible name that we want to work with anyway.

(B) Getting files wasn't working because we had been passing NOFOLLOW_SYMLINKS. 
Apparently the google-drive: backend treats all internal files as symlinks to 
other internal files? Doesn't matter, we can avoid having to care about what a 
backup does in that regard by simply not passing that flag. It was a level of 
precaution that we don't really need. Normally, duplicity will always be 
dealing with real files. If it's trying to get a symlink, it's because the user 
manually created one. In which case, maybe we should follow it, since the user 
wants us to.

Together, these fixes let google-drive: work (and maybe other similarly bizarre 
GIO backends). I also tested on a couple other backends (SSH and local) and 
they worked fine still.
