Add a utility to ensure an absolute path for a potentially realtive

Would it make sense for your usage to resolve symbolic links at the same
time? If so, you can use the canonicalize-lgpl gnulib module, which
portably provides the following function.
/* Return a malloc'd string containing the canonical absolute name of
the named file. If any file name component does not exist or is a
symlink to a nonexistent file, return NULL. A canonical name does
not contain any `.', `..' components nor any repeated file name
separators ('/') or symlinks. */
char *canonicalize_file_name (const char *);
