String path_join(String base, String child)

base : parent path
child : child path or absolute override
return value : combined path

:content
Joins two filesystem-style path fragments with a single `/` when needed.

If `child` is empty, `base` is returned. If `child` already starts with `/`, it is returned unchanged. That makes `path_join()` a better fit for app-level path assembly than open-coded string concatenation.

:example
print("path_join example\n");
