Relative to absolute file names

Converts a string path that is relative to the calling file to an absolute path.

Usage:

function: real_to_abs_filename

Args: path: str ret: ret: Literal["string","path"] = "string"

from rabs import real_to_abs_filename

real_to_abs_filename(".", ret="string") # the default

real_to_abs_filename("../siblingfolder/someotherfile.py")

# or 

real_to_abs_filename("./somefile.exe", ret="path")

# returns a pathlib.Path object (python's built in library)

Why:

Python is inconsistent with respect to relative paths. This makes it as bulletproof as possible.
