This commit stabilizes essentially all of the new `std::path` API. The
API itself is changed in a couple of ways (which brings it in closer
alignment with the RFC):
* `.` components are now normalized away, unless they appear at the
start of a path. This in turn effects the semantics of e.g. asking for
the file name of `foo/` or `foo/.`, both of which yield `Some("foo")`
now. This semantics is what the original RFC specified, and is also
desirable given early experience rolling out the new API.
* The `parent` method is now `without_file` and succeeds if, and only
if, `file_name` is `Some(_)`. That means, in particular, that it fails
for a path like `foo/../`. This change affects `pop` as well.
In addition, the `old_path` module is now deprecated.

* The `parent` function now succeeds if, and only if, the path has at
least one non-root/prefix component. This change affects `pop` as
well.
* The `Prefix` component now involves a separate `PrefixComponent`
struct, to better allow for keeping both parsed and unparsed prefix data.
In addition, the `old_path` module is now deprecated.
Closes#23264

This commit renames the features for the `std::old_io` and `std::old_path`
modules to `old_io` and `old_path` to help facilitate migration to the new APIs.
This is a breaking change as crates which mention the old feature names now need
to be renamed to use the new feature names.

As part of [RFC 474](https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/474), this
commit renames `std::path` to `std::old_path`, leaving the existing path
API in place to ease migration to the new one. Updating should be as
simple as adjusting imports, and the prelude still maps to the old path
APIs for now.
