Port dart:io Path tests to package:path.

pkg/path/README.md

 A comprehensive, cross-platform path manipulation library for Dart.
 
 The path package provides common operations for manipulating file paths:
 joining, splitting, normalizing, etc.
 
 We've tried very hard to make this library do the "right" thing on whatever
 platform you run it on. When you use the top-level functions, it will assume the
 current platform's path style and work with that. If you want to specifically
 work with paths of a specific style, you can construct a `path.Builder` for that
 style.

 Gets the part of [path] before the last separator.
 
     path.dirname('path/to/foo.dart'); // -> 'path/to'
     path.dirname('path/to');          // -> 'to'
 
 Trailing separators are ignored.
 
     builder.dirname('path/to/'); // -> 'path'

+is returned.

+    path.dirname('c:\');  // -> 'c:\' (windows)

+If a relative path has no directories, then '.' is returned.

 ### String extension(String path)
 
 Gets the file extension of [path]: the portion of [basename] from the last
 `.` to the end (including the `.` itself).
 
     path.extension('path/to/foo.dart');    // -> '.dart'
     path.extension('path/to/foo');         // -> ''
     path.extension('path.to/foo');         // -> ''
     path.extension('path/to/foo.dart.js'); // -> '.js'

  *  It can accurately tell if a path is absolute based on drive-letters or UNC
     prefix.
 
  *  It understands that "/foo" is not an absolute path on Windows.
 
  *  It knows that "C:\foo\one.txt" and "c:/foo\two.txt" are two files in the
     same directory.
