The now preferred way to call realpath() is by passing NULL as the

old way of providing our own buffer as a second argument, for some
platforms that didn't support the new way yet. Those were only
Solaris less than version 11 and some older AIX versions (7.1 and
newer appear to support the new variant). We don't support those
platforms versions anymore, so we can remove this extra code.

We don't seem to have any mentions of POSIX or SuS in docs, in the
installation sections. There are a few mentions of POSIX-1.2008 and
POSIX-1.2001 it in the commit log, though, where we require features
specified by those. Can we rely on everything from POSIX-1-2008
nowadays, or is it more on a case-by-case basis, depending on which
parts of POSIX are supported by various platforms?
