Move path-manipulation functions to own library file.

Leave functions that make file accesses in the file library, and general blaze utilities in the blaze_util file, but move the functions that boil down to string manipulation and path formatting to their own file. (With the exception of getCWD, since absolute path syntax is relevant here.)

Doing this largely to consolidate all Windows path control into a single place, so that it's easier to notice inconsistencies. For instance, ConvertPath currently makes Windows paths absolute, but not Posix paths, and MakeAbsolute relies on this behavior. In addition, JoinPath assumes Posix path syntax, which leads to some odd looking paths. These will be fixed in a followup change.

(Found these issues while working on #4502, trying to fix the windows-specific system bazelrc.)

Bazel

{Fast, Correct} - Choose two

Build and test software of any size, quickly and reliably.

  • Speed up your builds and tests: Bazel only rebuilds what is necessary. With advanced local and distributed caching, optimized dependency analysis and parallel execution, you get fast and incremental builds.

  • One tool, multiple languages: Build and test Java, C++, Android, iOS, Go, and a wide variety of other language platforms. Bazel runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux.

  • Scalable: Bazel helps you scale your organization, codebase, and continuous integration solution. It handles codebases of any size, in multiple repositories or a huge monorepo.

  • Extensible to your needs: Easily add support for new languages and platforms with Bazel's familiar extension language. Share and re-use language rules written by the growing Bazel community.
