we deduce the paths to other SSTable components from the one
specified from the command line, for instance, if
/a/b/c/me-really-big-Data.db is fed to `scylla sstable`, the tool
would try to read /a/b/c/me-really-big-TOC.txt for the list of
other components. this works fine if the full path is specified
in the command line.
but if a relative path is specified, like, "me-really-big-Data.db",
this does not work anymore. before this change, the tool
would be reading "/me-really-big-TOC.txt", which does not exist
under most circumstances. while $PWD/me-really-big-TOC.txt should
exist if the SSTable is sane.
after this change, we always convert the specified path to
its canonical representation, no matter it is relative or absolutate.
this enables us to get the correct parent path path when trying
to read, for instance, the TOC component.
