#5014: canonicalizePath throws exception on paths that do not exist

---------------------------------+------------------------------------------
Assume path `foo` exists, but `foo/bar` doesn't. On GHC 6.12,
`canonicalizePath "foo/bar"` gave back a result. On GHC 7.02, I get an
exception:
{{{
*** Exception: foo/bar: canonicalizePath: does not exist (No such file or
directory)
}}}
The behavior is not defined by the documentation, or at all (see #4215)
but it would be nice if it didn't crash.
