/// The returned path is in absolute form with all intermediate components normalized and symbolic

/// This function is an async version of [`std::fs::canonicalize`].

/// [`std::fs::canonicalize`]: https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/fs/fn.canonicalize.html
///
/// # Errors
///
/// An error will be returned in the following situations (not an exhaustive list):
///
/// * `path` does not exist.
/// * A non-final component in path is not a directory.
///
/// # Examples
///
/// ```no_run
/// # fn main() -> std::io::Result<()> { async_std::task::block_on(async {
/// #
/// use async_std::fs;
///
/// let path = fs::canonicalize(".").await?;
/// #
/// # Ok(()) }) }
/// ```
