[issue19717] resolve() fails when the path doesn't exist

Thanks for the review, Antoine! Here is the updated patch. I haven't tested it on Windows yet because I want to clarify one thing.

Let's say we have this valid directory:

/tmp/@test123 <= directory

And this directory only has one valid file:

/tmp/@test123/cutecat <= file

We agree that pathlib.Path('/tmp/@test123/foo').resolve(False) => '/tmp/@test123/foo'.

But what about this case: pathlib.Path('/tmp/@test123/cutecat/foo').resolve(False)?

It should be "/tmp/@test123/cutecat" or "/tmp/@test123/cutecat/foo"?
