path uses string::append to construct, append, and concatenate paths. Unfortunatly
string::append has a strong exception safety guaranteed and if it can't prove
that the iterator operations don't throw then it will allocate a temporary
string copy to append to. However this extra allocation and copy is very
undesirable for path which doesn't have the same exception guarantees.
To work around this this patch adds string::__append_forward_unsafe which exposes
the std::string::append interface for forward iterators without enforcing
that the iterator is noexcept.

This patch fixes a performance bug when constructing or appending to a path
from a string or c-string. Previously we called 'push_back' to append every
single character. This caused multiple re-allocation and copies when at most
one reallocation is necessary. The new behavior is to simply call
`string::append` so it can correctly handle reallocation.
For large strings this change is a ~4x improvement. This also makes our path
faster to construct than libstdc++'s.
