Rollup merge of rust-lang#89270 - seanyoung:join_fold, r=m-ou-se
path.push() should work as expected on windows verbatim paths
On Windows, std::fs::canonicalize() returns an so-called UNC path. UNC paths differ with regular paths because:
- This type of path can much longer than a non-UNC path (32k vs 260 characters).
- The prefix for a UNC path is ``Component::Prefix(Prefix::DiskVerbatim(..)))``
- No `/` is allowed
- No `.` is allowed
- No `..` is allowed
Rust has poor handling of such paths. If you join a UNC path with a path with any of the above, then this will not work.
I've implemented a new method `fn join_fold()` which joins paths and also removes any `.` and `..` from it, and replaces `/` with `\` on Windows. Using this function it is possible to use UNC paths without issue. In addition, this function is useful on Linux too; paths can be appended without having to call `canonicalize()` to remove the `.` and `..`.
This PR needs test cases, which can I add. I hope this will a start of a discussion.
