the handling of relative vs absolute paths is bogus here.  I think it'd
make more sense to have a bool "are we including"; and if that's false and
the path is not absolute, then the file is relative to CWD; or maybe we
make it absolute by prepending PGDATA; maybe something else?  (need to
think of something that makes sense for both recovery.conf and extension
control files)

beyond extra code comments?  probably not.

Not sure about this
