[google] Allow relative profile paths. (issue4280074)

This patch should go into google/main so that relative paths can be
used with FDO.

Bootstraped without regression and verified that my benchmarks correctly
used the generated profiles.

Original patch to trunk included a regression test, but I noticed last
week that it failed in certain test scenarios. Will investigate and
push the change upstream once I resolve that.

Thanks,
Martin
