The `Files.exists(Path.of(""))` case returns `true` because
`UnixPath.getByteArrayForSysCalls` has a special case that converts `""` to
`"."`:
// empty path case will access current directory
byte[] here = { '.' };
return here;
See [UnixPath.java, line
142](https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/blob/4d77dbad4e15c5392878e7bc91cd8eb7ce49a482/src/java.base/unix/classes/sun/nio/fs/UnixPath.java#L142).
