RFR: 8338851: Hoist os::Posix::realpath() to os::realpath() and implement on Windows

This PR changes the status of realpath() from a Posix-specific API to a globally available API, i.e. adding it to the "Hotspot Porting API".  Code would refer to os::realpath() instead of os::Posix::realpath().

This requires the addition of a stub routine in os_posix.cpp and a Windows implementation of realpath(), using Windows _fullpath().

This PR depends on #20597 in that it removes the need for one #ifdef in that PR.  Because of that, this PR will be modified when and if #20597 is integrated.

Please note that guidelines for doing this appear in src/hotspot/share/runtime/os.hpp
