lib: implement `sourcepath()` function
The sourcepath() function allows querying the filesystem path of the source file currently being executed by ucode. The optional depth argument can be used to walk up the include stack to determine the path of the file that included the current file, the path of the parent file of the parent file and so on. By specifying a truish value as second argument, only the directory portion of the source file path is returned. This is useful to e.g. discover ressources relative to the current source file directory. Signed-off-by: Jo-Philipp Wich <jo@mein.io>

+#### 6.59. `sourcepath([depth [, dironly]])`
+
+Determine the path of the source file currently being executed by ucode.
+
+The optional `depth` parameter allows walking up the call stack to determine
+the path of the parent sources including or requiring the current source file.
+If unspecified, the `depth` defaults to `0`, that is the currently executed
+file.
+
+If a truish value is passed in `dironly`, only the directory portion of the
+source file path is returned.
+
+If the ucode interpreter executes code from stdin or a code fragment passed
+via `-s` switch, the function returns `null` since there is no associated
+file path.
+
+If `depth` exceeds the size of the call stack, the function returns `null`
+as well.
