## Message

```
std.fs.path.resolve: eliminate getcwd() syscall

This is a breaking change to the API. Instead of the first path
implicitly being the current working directory, it now asserts that the
number of paths passed is greater than zero.

Importantly, it never calls getcwd(); instead, it can possibly return
".", or a series of "../". This changes the error set to only be
`error{OutOfMemory}`.

closes #13613
