Windows: resolve shortened paths

TL;DR: resolve "C:/progra~1" style paths, don't
cache failed resolutions in the parent's
Path.children


When creating WindowsPath objects, resolve the
"C:/progra~1" style paths to "C:/program files".

This enables us to correctly compare paths on
Windows. Without this canonicalization we
incorrectly determine "C:/progra~1" and
"C:/program files" to be different when they are
actually the same.

We only attempt to resolve such paths if the name
looks like it's an abbreviated path.

If resolution fails, probably due to the path not
existing, then we don't cache this Path object in
the parent's `children` list. This avoids stale
cache entries in case the path springs into
existence later in the server's lifetime.

We also need to rectify https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/issues/2173

Bazel (Beta)

{Fast, Correct} - Choose two

Bazel is a build tool that builds code quickly and reliably. It is used to build the majority of Google‘s software, and thus it has been designed to handle build problems present in Google’s development environment, including:

  • A massive, shared code repository, in which all software is built from source. Bazel has been built for speed, using both caching and parallelism to achieve this. Bazel is critical to Google's ability to continue to scale its software development practices as the company grows.

  • An emphasis on automated testing and releases. Bazel has been built for correctness and reproducibility, meaning that a build performed on a continuous build machine or in a release pipeline will generate bitwise-identical outputs to those generated on a developer's machine.

  • Language and platform diversity. Bazel's architecture is general enough to support many different programming languages within Google, and can be used to build both client and server software targeting multiple architectures from the same underlying codebase.
