This is an excellent and overdue rename/replacement.

My only note is re: the concerns I have in patch 2, where I think we
probably ought to make this function actually return an absolute path.
It seems from the code (and the function name) that that was the
intent, so if we can fix it, that'd be ideal.

Personally, though, I'd still prefer the new test_data_path(), just
have it be an actually absolute path.
