Rollup merge of #146299 - smirzaei:doc/improve-path-canonicalize-docs, r=jhpratt
docs(std): add error docs for path canonicalize

This PR adds the missing error documentation for both [Path.canonicalize](https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/path/struct.Path.html#method.canonicalize) and [PathBuf.canonicalize](https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/path/struct.PathBuf.html#method.canonicalize) methods. Since both methods are wappers around [fs::canonicalize](https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/fs/fn.canonicalize.html), the error doc is copied directly from that function.

This makes it faster to find what errors might arise when calling `path.canonicalize` or `path_buf.canonicalize` in the editor itself without needing to drill down to the  `fs::canonicalzie` docs.
