Remove our implementation of POSIX path resolution in PathBase.resolve(). This functionality is rather fragile and isn't necessary in most cases. It depends on PathBase.stat(), which we're looking to remove.

Also remove PathBase.absolute(). Many legitimate virtual filesystems lack the notion of a 'current directory', so it's probably wrong to include in the basic interface.

Remove our implementation of POSIX path resolution in `PathBase.resolve()`.
This functionality is rather fragile and isn't necessary in most cases. It
depends on `PathBase.stat()`, which we're looking to remove.

Also remove `PathBase.absolute()`. Many legitimate virtual filesystems lack
the notion of a 'current directory', so it's wrong to include in the basic
interface.
