Fixes #6925
This PR fixes
opam config substso that it treats absolute paths correctly.What this PR does not do is change the current
substbehaviour which is in my opinion a bit shady.opam config subst <path>will not rewrite<path>in place, substituting variables, as is described in the manual/command's--helpsection but instead expects to find a<path>.infile and will write the result of the substitution in<path>.The fact this hasn't been reported seem to indicate it is probably unused but I thought that fixing the absolute paths handling to be necessary since I touched this particular part of the code in #6910.
