Sakthipriyan Vairamani 65963ec26f doc,test: empty strings in path module
The path module's `join, normalize, isAbsolute, relative and resolve`
functions return/use the current directory if they are passed zero
length strings.

    > process.version
    'v2.3.4-pre'
    > path.win32.join('')
    '.'
    > path.posix.join('')
    '.'
    > path.win32.normalize('')
    '.'
    > path.posix.normalize('')
    '.'
    > path.win32.isAbsolute('')
    false
    > path.posix.isAbsolute('')
    false
    > path.win32.relative('', '')
    ''
    > path.posix.relative('', '')
    ''
    > path.win32relative('.', '')
    ''
    > path.posix.relative('.', '')
    ''
    > path.posix.resolve('')
    '/home/thefourtheye/Desktop'
    > path.win32.resolve('')
    '\\home\\thefourtheye\\Desktop'

Since empty paths are not valid in any of the operating systems people
normally use, this behaviour might be a surprise to the users. This
commit introduces "Notes" about this, wherever applicable in `path`'s
documentation.

The tests makes sure that the behaviour is intact between
commits.
