fixed fallback implementation of get_absolute_path() on misc platforms
* the old implementation was totally broken, which was to be expected
* we can at least provide a version that always returns an absolute
path, even though it does not canonicalizes
* fixes e.g. Haiku builds for the time being.
Haiku however is mostly POSIX compliant and could be handled
like UNIX.
* simplified the UNIX implementation of get_absolute_path()
