modfile: improve directory path detection and error text consistency

An error text suggests a directory path needs to start with ./ or ../
if it's a relative path, but in reality relative paths with .\ and ..\
prefix (such as those that are used on Windows) are also accepted.

Furthermore, a relative path like ./ or ../ is fine, as are ./. and
../., but the cleaner and shorter equivalent relative paths . and ..
are reported as if they're not directory paths (even though a module
path cannot consist of nothing but dots).

Fix those inconsistencies and make IsDirectoryPath report true on "."
and ".." paths as expected, and make its documentation clear that
a path like "sub/dir", despite being a relative path, is interpreted
as a module path.

For golang/go#60572.
