Always use absolute paths

[mrocklin]

This would avoid a mismatch between clients and workers when using dask.distributed

In [2]: os.path.abspath('my-local-path')
Out[2]: '/home/mrocklin/my-local-path'

This is for imports, or files opened with open_dataset?

[mrocklin]

Open_dataset, but you're right, we should probably resolve this on the serialization code on the Dask side regardless.
