Previously, a file path beginning with "/", "./", or "../" would be
searched for verbatim and no searching would be done over paths.
This behavior now occurs for a leading "/" only. File paths with
"./" or "../" will search for the file with the path verbatim, then
proceed to search for the file with each search path prepended to
the filename as usual. This solves a problem for reusable, non- PDK
IP blocks, where the IP block may have an abstract view pointing to
a GDS file which is specified as being located at "../gds/<file>".
This file would not be found if the IP block was included into
another project. Now it can be done if the path to the IP is given
by "addpath".
