Reduces some allocations by accepting either a pathbuf or url for the
referrer for resolution and returning either a pathbuf or url at the
end, which the caller can then convert into to their preferred state.
This is about 4% faster when still converting the final result to a url
and 6% faster when keeping the result as a path in a benchmark I ran.
This slightly degrades the performance of CJS export analysis on
subsequent runs because I changed it to no longer cache in the DENO_DIR
with this PR (denort now properly has no idea about the DENO_DIR). We'll
have to change it to embed this data in the binary and that will also
allow us to get rid of swc in denort (will do that in a follow-up PR).
