Introducing kettle-paths

Kettle::Paths compares filesystem paths by identity — inode and file index — rather than by string, so a directory spelled two valid ways still compares equal: symlinked ancestors (/home/x vs /var/home/x) and Windows 8.3 short names (RUNNER~1 vs runneradmin). The public API covers canonical, same?, identical?, within?, relative, relative_from, glob, local_path_remote?, and path_parts. It is pure Ruby with no dependencies, requires Ruby 2.4+, and is MIT-licensed so it can be shared across MIT and AGPL tooling.
