Summary

common() in @std/path (and the posix and windows variants, plus the internal _common/common.ts helper) now takes readonly string[] instead of string[].

Motivation

Part of #5831. common() never mutates its paths argument, so callers holding a readonly array (for example one declared as const) currently get a type error for no reason. Other modules have already been updated the same way (#5832, #5735, #6639, #6911).

Test plan

• Added common() accepts readonly arrays to path/common_test.ts, covering common(), posix.common() and windows.common(). It fails type-checking (TS2345) without the change and passes with it.
• deno test path/: all common tests pass. The only failure was isGlob works with the input that includes large number of open brackets, a timing test that timed out in the (slow) environment this was run in and is unrelated to this change.
• deno fmt --check path/ and deno lint path/ are clean.

This PR was prepared with an AI coding agent (Claude Code).
