RFC: path reform

This RFC reforms the design of the `std::path` module in preparation for API
stabilization. The path API must deal with many competing demands, and the
current design handles many of them, but suffers from some significant problems
given in "Motivation" below. The RFC proposes a redesign modeled loosely on the
current API that addresses these problems while maintaining the advantages of
the current design.

Similarly it probably needs to return an `Option<PathBuf>`, since a path cannot contain NUL on Linux (and probably not on Windows either, but I'm not sure about that), or perhaps `Result<PathBuf, T>`.
