The current behaviour of the path option setting seems unintuitive to me: it ignores the global value of the path option, so any globally desired value of path (like the current directory/file) must be copied into the local local value in order files to be found anywhere outside the standard library. In particular this makes the default behaviour (i.e. if the user does not explicitly set a local value for path before the ftplugin is sourced) to not resolve files relative to the current file or directory (the default (global) value of path does this). This change uses &path instead of &l:path to fix this, making the default behaviour work as (I think should be) expected.
In addition, this change appends rather than prepends the standard library path - if a zig file does @import("builtin.zig") and there is a file builtin.zig in the same directory, then the file being imported is (barring some extreme use of main-pkg-path) that one, not the one in the standard library, so appending will make gf resolve it correctly with the default path option.
