pathlib: Path('.').exists() returns True when current working directory (cwd) was deleted

Bug report

Bug description:

Path.exists() and Path.resolve() do not work consistently with each other if the current working directory is deleted after Python is launched.

For example, if I open a Python 3.13.0 interpreter (although I have verified this occurs in older versions as well) in a directory, and then delete that directory I experience the following behavior:

>>> from pathlib import Path
>>> Path('.').exists()
True
>>> Path('.').resolve()
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<python-input-2>", line 1, in <module>
    Path('.').resolve()
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^^
  File "/opt/homebrew/Caskroom/mambaforge/base/envs/py313minimal/lib/python3.13/pathlib/_local.py", line 670, in resolve
    return self.with_segments(os.path.realpath(self, strict=strict))
                              ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
  File "<frozen posixpath>", line 413, in realpath
FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory

Note how Path('.').exists() is True, even though the cwd does not exist, and then when I try to resolve the path, I get a FileNotFoundError.

You also get a FileNotFoundError when the cwd doesn't exist for all relative paths, even though in the non-dot cases Path.exists() works as one would expect.

>>> Path('asdf').exists()
False
>>> Path('asdf').resolve().exists()
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<python-input-4>", line 1, in <module>
    Path('asdf').resolve().exists()
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^^
  File "/opt/homebrew/Caskroom/mambaforge/base/envs/py313minimal/lib/python3.13/pathlib/_local.py", line 670, in resolve
    return self.with_segments(os.path.realpath(self, strict=strict))
                              ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
  File "<frozen posixpath>", line 413, in realpath
FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory

If the cwd does exist, you can see that Path.resolve() does not raise a FileNotFoundError when the path does not exist.

>>> from pathlib import Path
>>> Path('asdf').exists()
False
>>> Path('asdf').resolve()
PosixPath('/Users/danielblanchard/asdf')

I believe resolve is doing the right thing here, but two things are not working as expected when the cwd is deleted:

1. Path('.').exists() and Path('').exists() should not tell you a path exists that doesn't.
2. Path('foo').resolve() should not raise a FileNotFoundError if the cwd doesn't exist, unless strict=True. Instead it should just return the initial path.

從 pathlib/_local.py 中的 Path.exists() 和 Path.resolve() 開始，然後追蹤目前工作目錄已遭刪除時它們對相對路徑使用 os.path.realpath 的情況。比較 '.', '' 和 'foo' 的回報行為；當 exists() 不再回報已刪除的目前工作目錄，且 resolve() 僅在 strict=True 時引發 FileNotFoundError 時，即表示完成，gh-135531 表明相關工作已經在進行中。
