The doc comment here agreed with the implementation, but not with any Step which populates a GeneratedFile, where they are treated as cwd-relative. This is the obvious correct choice, because these paths usually come from joining onto a cache root, and those are cwd-relative if not absolute.

This was a pre-existing bug, but #23836 caused it to trigger more often, because the compiler now commonly passes the local cache directory to the build runner process as a relative path where it was previously an absolute path.

Resolves: #23954

The doc comment here agreed with the implementation, but not with *any*
`Step` which populates a `GeneratedFile`, where they are treated as
cwd-relative. This is the obvious correct choice, because these paths
usually come from joining onto a cache root, and those are cwd-relative
if not absolute.

This was a pre-existing bug, but ziglang#23836 caused it to trigger more often,
because the compiler now commonly passes the local cache directory to
the build runner process as a relative path where it was previously an
absolute path.

Resolves: ziglang#23954
