std::filesystem::path::is_absolute,is_relative

Since C++17

Checks whether the path is absolute or relative. An absolute path is a path that unambiguously identifies the location of a file without reference to an additional starting location. The first version returns true if the path, in native format, is absolute, false otherwise; the second version the other way round.

# Declarations
