#relative_path_from returns a relative path from the argument to the
 receiver.  If +self+ is absolute, the argument must be absolute too. If
 +self+ is relative, the argument must be relative too.

 #relative_path_from doesn't access the filesystem.
 It assumes no symlinks.

 ArgumentError is raised when it cannot find a relative path.
