replacing all the RawFilePath with OsPath, which should be pretty
mechanical, with only some wrapper functions in Utility.FileIO and
Utility.RawFilePath needing to be changed.
* Utility.FileIO is used for most withFile and openFile, but not yet for
readFile, writeFile, and appendFile on FilePaths.
Note that the FilePath versions do newline translation on windows,
which has to be handled when converting to the Utility.FileIO ones.
* System.Directory.OsPath is available with OsPath build flag, but
not yet used, and would eliminate a lot of fromRawFilePaths.
Make Utility.SystemDirectory import it when built with OsPath,
and the remaining 6 hours or work will explain itself..
This has been started in the `ospath` branch.
An attempt was made on this, which is in the `ospath` branch. It
is unfinished and doesn't build. Some of the groundwork for that
culminated in [[!commit aaf4dd3b9cc71752624dd81352c242eeabe912c2]]
which builds and passes the test suite... except for on windows, where it
fails both with and without the new OsPath build flag it added, in
different and both surprising and seemingly difficult to understand ways.
That has caused me to give up on it for now.
