[boost] [filesystem] Request for comments on proposed relative() function

Subject: [boost] [filesystem] Request for comments on proposed relative() function

There are two open tickets requesting a relative() function, and also a
National Body (I.E official) comment against the Filesystem TS (which is
due to finalize at the June C++ committee meeting). The committee's Library
Working Group has indicated they would like to add such a function.

With help from Jamie Allsop, I've put together a proposal. See attached for
docs. See https://github.com/boostorg/filesystem/tree/feature/relative for
a branch of filesystem with the implementation and some relative() tests
added.

Comments appreciated.
