Append a subpath string to a path.
Like `path + ("/" + string)` but safer, because it errors instead of returning potentially surprising results.
More specifically, it checks that the first argument is a [path value type](https://nixos.org/manual/nix/stable/language/values.html#type-path"),

Split the filesystem root from a [path](https://nixos.org/manual/nix/stable/language/values.html#type-path).
The result is an attribute set with these attributes:

- `subpath`: The [normalised subpath string](#function-library-lib.path.subpath.normalise) that when [appended](#function-library-lib.path.append) to `root` returns the original path.
Laws:
- [Appending](#function-library-lib.path.append) the `root` and `subpath` gives the original path:
p ==
append
(splitRoot p).root
(splitRoot p).subpath
- Trying to get the parent directory of `root` using [`readDir`](https://nixos.org/manual/nix/stable/language/builtins.html#builtins-readDir) returns `root` itself:

As with all functions of this `lib.path` library, it does not work on paths in strings,

Whether a value is a valid subpath string.
A subpath string points to a specific file or directory within an absolute base directory.
It is a stricter form of a relative path that excludes `..` components, since those could escape the base directory.

- The string is not empty.
- The string doesn't start with a `/`.
- The string doesn't contain any `..` path components.

Join subpath strings together using `/`, returning a normalised subpath string.
Like `concatStringsSep "/"` but safer, specifically:
- All elements must be [valid subpath strings](#function-library-lib.path.subpath.isValid).
- The result gets [normalised](#function-library-lib.path.subpath.normalise).
- The edge case of an empty list gets properly handled by returning the neutral subpath `"./."`.
Laws:
- Associativity:
subpath.join [ x (subpath.join [ y z ]) ] == subpath.join [ (subpath.join [ x y ]) z ]
- Identity - `"./."` is the neutral element for normalised paths:
subpath.join [ ] == "./."
subpath.join [ (subpath.normalise p) "./." ] == subpath.normalise p
subpath.join [ "./." (subpath.normalise p) ] == subpath.normalise p
- Normalisation - the result is [normalised](#function-library-lib.path.subpath.normalise):
subpath.join ps == subpath.normalise (subpath.join ps)
- For non-empty lists, the implementation is equivalent to [normalising](#function-library-lib.path.subpath.normalise) the result of `concatStringsSep "/"`.
Note that the above laws can be derived from this one:
ps != [] -> subpath.join ps == subpath.normalise (concatStringsSep "/" ps)

Laws:
- Idempotency - normalising multiple times gives the same result:

- Don't change the result when [appended](#function-library-lib.path.append) to a Nix path value:
