[issue11344] Add os.path.splitpath(path) function

[Éric Araujo]

Éric Araujo <merwok at netwok.org> added the comment:

I’m not sure this is correct for POSIX:
  splitpath('/gparent/parent/') returns ['gparent', 'parent']

/ is a real directory, it should be the ultimate parent of any path IIUC.

On a related note, using “parent” for the leaf file looks strange to me, I think something like this would make more sense:

 /gparent/parent/somedir/
