Rollup merge of #126782 - mtilda:mtilda/patch/x-test-with-absolute-paths, r=onur-ozkan

Support absolute source paths in bootstrap

Fixes https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/126765

`x test [PATHS]` should work when each path

1. Is the name of a build step, such as `tidy` in `x test tidy` or
2. Points to an existing file that is a descendant of the builder's source directory (root of this repository).
