refactor(tvix/eval): factor out all calls to canon_path r/5119

Right now we're pretending that the Rust library path_clean does the
same thing that cppnix's canonPath() does.  This is not true.  It's
close enough for the test suite, but may come back to bite us.

Let's create our own canon_path() function and call that in all the
places where we intend to match the behavior of cppnix's
canonPath().  That way when we fix this we can fix it once, in one
place.
