> 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 a Windows implementation of realpath(), using Windows _fullpath(), and renaming os::Posix::realpath() to os::realpath().
> 
> The main difference between POSIX and Windows behaviour is that POSIX actually requires an existing accessible file, while Windows will happily work with made-up filenames.
> 
> Please note that guidelines for doing this appear in src/hotspot/share/runtime/os.hpp
