/*
The ResolvePosixPath method resolves a sequence of paths or path segments into
an absolute path or path based on the `from` parameter.

The given sequence of paths is processed from right to left, with each
subsequent path prepended until an absolute path is constructed. For instance,
given the sequence of path segments: /foo, /bar, baz, calling
resolvePosixPath('/foo', '/bar', 'baz') would return /bar/baz because 'baz' is
not an absolute path but '/bar' + '/' + 'baz' is.

If, after processing all given path segments, an absolute path has not yet been
generated and the resolved path is not a subdirectory of `from`, the `from`
directory is used as the base path.

The resulting path is normalized and trailing slashes are removed unless the
path is resolved to the root directory.

Zero-length path segments are ignored.

If no path segments are passed, resolvePosixPath() will return the `from` path.
