Adds a new normalize method to both Path and Utf8Path alongside is_parent and is_current methods on Component and Utf8Component traits.
The normalize method will resolve . and .. with .. being removed if the path is relative and there is nothing else to resolve.
This can potentially be used to address #8 by determining if an existing path is relative and - if so - prepending the current working directory as a path and then normalizing it. The trick is figuring out how to take a platform-specific path and convert it to the proper encoding, or just not caring about that.
