filePath("/..") should return "/"

[HenrikBengtsson]

We now have:

> filePath("/..")
[1] "/.."

but this should really return "/" per, e.g. [1]. This also how:

> normalizePath("/..")
[1] "/"
> normalizePath("/../..")
[1] "/"
> normalizePath("/../../..")
[1] "/"

works.

Won't fix. filePath() should be as similar as base::file.path() as possible. One can use normalizePath() to remove the remain parts here.
