…paths Without this check, if the PDB in question used path map to create a relative path, it's possible for this check to pass and end up handing around relative paths to the rest of the system (and the VS Shell). This eventually causes other things to break that expect full paths. Given a relative path would only work here by "luck" if the devenv current working directory happened to line up, it seems easiest just to assert it's an absolute path before going further. Fixes dotnet#79014
