631b23f7a2 utils/AbsolutePaths.js: do not break when running as a Windows manual install
A Windows manual install has the same directory layout of a normal Unix one
(e.g. the nice symlink node_modules/ep_etherpad-lite -> ../src).
Only when running from the pre-built Windows package the directory layout is
different (e.g. src is physically copied into node_modules/ep_etherpad-lite).
The previous version of the code wrongly assumed that all Windows installs would
be run from the pre-built pakage.

In this version the path search is the same on all platform. If it fails, and we
are on Windows, there is a fallback for the specific case of the pre-built
package.

Fixes #3550

9db5fd7884 AbsolutePaths: introduced isSubdir()
It can be used to check whether a user input or a configuration settings tries
to traverse the directory hierarchy, going out of its allowed bounds.

5406472d65 AbsolutePaths: makeAbsolute() computes an absolute path from a relative one
The base is assumed to be exports.findEtherpadRoot(), without depending on
process.cwd.

b1a0e14ee2 AbsolutePaths: written findEtherpadRoot()
This is just a function (with an ugly side effect for caching purposes) that
heuristically tries to compute the Etherpad installation path when running under
Unix and win32 (they have different file system layouts).

This path can be used by Etherpad as a base for all the relative paths, in order
to be deterministic and not depending on cwd.

cbce3c1b08 AbsolutePaths: written utility function popIfEndsWith()
It will be necessary in the next commit to evaluate the Etherpad base
install path.
