Performance gains are ~4x (~1.5us), but still much slower than a naive
approach. There is some duplicate work done between join(), normalize()
and normalizeArray() so additional optimizations are possible.
Note that this only improves the POSIX implementation.
Thanks to @isaacs and @othiym23 for helping with this optimization.

An absolute path will always open the same location regardless of your
current working directory. For posix, this just means path.charAt(0) ===
'/', but on Windows it's a little more complicated.

Fixes#5071, #5073.
* Normalize capitalization of drive letter
* Fix `exit()` typo in failure path
* Ignore symlink tests (Windows) if not elevated
The `test_relative_input_cwd()` test was failing on Windows when
`skipSymlinks` was `true`. So we won't run it if `skipSymlinks` is
`true`.
When it failed, the unhandled error caused Node to die before
having a chance to clean up, which resulted in two files missing
in subsequent unit tests:
* `test/fixtures/nested-index/one/hello.js`
* `test/fixtures/nested-index/one/index.js`
We should probably find a way to isolate this test from the other
test (`simple/test-module-loading`) that was failing when this test
poluted the disk state.
lib/path.js:
- throws a TypeError on the filter if the argument is not a string.
test/simple/test-path.js:
- removed the test to check if non-string types are filtered.
- added a test to check if path.join throws TypeError on arguments that
are not strings.
`path.exists*` functions show a deprecation warning and call functions
from `fs`. They should be removed later.
test: fix references to `path.exists*` in tests
test fs: add test for `fs.exists` and `fs.existsSync`
doc: reflect moving `path.exists*` to `fs`
lib/path.js routines normalizeArray() and resolve() have for loops that
count down from end of an array. The loop indexes are initialized using
"array.length" rather than "array.length-1". The initial array element
accessed is always beyond the end of array and the value is 'undefined'.
Strangely, code exists that acts to ignore undefined values so that the
typos are unnoticeable.
Existing tests emit no errors either before or after changing to "length-1".
Tests _do_ start failing at "length-2". (Actually it is node that starts
to fail at "length-2" - that's a valid enough test...)
1. Express desired path.join behavior in tests.
2. Update fs.realpath to reflect new path.join behavior
3. Update url.resolve() to use new path.join behavior.
Any path.join or path.normalize that starts with a / will not go "above" that after normalization. This is important because /../foo is almost *always* some sort of error, and doesn't match the corollary in sh: `cd $p; pwd`
At the worse, this can be a vector for exploits, since a static file server might do path.join(docroot, path.normalize("/"+req)) to get the file. If the normalized request path could be something like "/../../../etc/passwd" then bad things could happen.
Before there was this comment:
Can't strip trailing slashes since module.js incorrectly
thinks dirname('/a/b/') should yield '/a/b' instead of '/a'.
But now, such thinking is corrected.
