lib.path.append: Add a law
With removePrefix introduced in a future commit this law can then be
used to derive
removePrefix p (append p s) == subpath.normalise s
=> (wrap with append)
append p (removePrefix p (append p s)) == append p (subpath.normalise s)
=> (append is not influenced by subpath normalisation)
append p (removePrefix p (append p s)) == append p s
=> (substitute q = append p s)
append p (removePrefix p q) == q
Not included in the docs because it's not that important, just shows
that the first statement is more general than the second one (because
this derivation doesn't work the other way)
