normalize a path by reducing and removing redundant dot-slash ("./", "../", ".\", and "..\") path navigators from a path. the returned output is always a posix-style path.
to read about the optional
configparameter, refer to the docs of normalizePosixPath, which is the underlying function that takes care most of the normalization.
