[HADOOP-7393] PathData saves original string value, inviting failure when CWD changes

• Type: Bug

Description

PathData#string stores the pathstring originally used to construct the Path, and returns it from various methods, apparently in an attempt to improve the user experience for the shell.

However, the current working directory may change, and if so this string value becomes meaningless and/or incorrect in context.
