Breakpad: auto-detect path style of file entries

Summary

This adds support for auto-detection of path style to SymbolFileBreakpad
(similar to how r351328 did the same for DWARF). We guess each file
entry separately, as we have no idea which file came from which compile
units (and different compile units can have different path styles). The
breakpad generates should have already converted the paths to absolute
ones, so this guess should be reasonable accurate, but as always with
these kinds of things, it is hard to give guarantees about anything.

In an attempt to bring some unity to the path guessing logic, I move the
guessing logic from inside SymbolFileDWARF into the FileSpec class and
have both symbol files use it to implent their desired behavior.

Given that this implementation is limited to absolute paths ... should it be in such a general purpose class?

If so, maybe this restriction be made more obvious by naming the parameter absolute_path. Then people who just look at the signature without reading the comments, or who get a prompt in their IDE are more likely to note the limitation.

The code this replaces was returning Style::native rather than Style::None. I'm not sure if that will have any implications.

Do you have an idea where to place it? Theoretically I could put it into the base SymbolFile class, since all existing users are SymbolFiles, but I am not sure if that makes things any better. Renaming the arg to absolute_path sounds good.

source/Utility/FileSpec.cpp

It terms of functionality, it doesn't, since all users then do getValueOr(Style::native). But I am not sure what's the impact on readability -- it seemed better to have a more explicit value for "I don't know" in such a general API, but since all users just revert to native when they can't guess (and I'm not sure if there's anything better they could do), maybe going through Optional is overkill. I'd be happy to change it if you think that's better.

Rename arg to absolute_path.

I think absolute_path is great. Thanks for checking on the native/None. I didn't want there to be any latent surprises.

Thanks. BTW, I've added the auto-detection code to dwarf only a couple of weeks ago, so I think we're more likely to get latent surprises from that then from this move. :)
