gclient_utils.py is a kitchen sink and is for that reason expensive
to import. Move the comparatively cheap and simple path routines
to a new gclient_paths module and use that in gn.py, clang_format.py,
dart_format.py.
(To be able to move FindGclientRoot() to gclient_paths.py,
make it use io.open() instead of FileRead(). FileRead() tries
to paper over invalid utf-8, but that was added for presubmits,
not for .gclient files, so this is hopefully fine.)
Cuts gn.py overhead in half (on my Windows laptop from 0.6s to 0.25s,
still high; on my Mac laptop from 0.1s to 0.05s), and probably helps
the other two too.
Completely remove PathDifference() since it's unused.
