[issue34614] Builtin `abs(Path)` returns `Path.absolute()`.

[Brandt Bucher]

New submission from Brandt Bucher <brandtbucher at gmail.com>:

This complements the current Path behavior that overrides division operators for path joining, in that it makes manually-constructed paths easier to form and arguably more readable.

Before:

p = Path("some", "relative", "path")
q = p.absolute() / "some" / "further" / "path"

After:

p = Path("some", "relative", "path")
q = abs(p) / "some" / "further" / "path"
