path: introduce a `path://` syntax to reference other path name
This make it easier for a path to reuse the same location of another path with different parameter. This is useful to create path "alias" with common config option.
This will become very useful to create path that reference a list of other path.
This changeset focus on implemented the basic feature, future changesets will
deal with various error management (and associated testing).

If you can't run the entire testsuite for some reason (it can be
difficult on Windows), please at least run `contrib/check-code.py` on
any files you've modified and run `python contrib/check-commit` on any
commits you've made (for example, `python contrib/check-commit
273ce12ad8f1` will report some style violations on a very old commit).
