Implement junction_point

Implements rust-lang#121709

We already had a private implementation that we use for tests so we could just make that public. Except it was very hacky as it was only ever intended for use in testing. I've made an improved version that at least handles path conversion correctly and has less need for things like the `Align8` hack. There's still room for further improvement though.
