[issue30906] os.path.join misjoins paths

[Eric V. Smith]

Eric V. Smith added the comment:

We absolutely cannot change this to give an error if the second or subsequent parameters is absolute. I have code that reads user-named config files. If the path is relative, it's relative to a config directory, but it's allowed to be absolute:

config_filename = os.path.join(config_dir, user_supplied_name)
