Title: Make path api less allocation happy

A [dialogue](https://github.com/mozilla/rust/pull/8909#discussion-diff-6102725) on PR #8909 inspired me to make this change.

r? anyone

(It is possible that `std::path` itself will soon be replaced with a new implementation that kballard's working on, as mentioned in the dialogue linked above, but this revision is simple enough that I figured I'd offer it up.)
