Not necessary, but if more than one user likes that, I think we can
dedicate the C-w binding for it.

Depending on how often you do either thing, 'C-x p C-w' could copy the
relative file name, and 'c-u C-x p C-w' could copy the root.
Or the latter action could be moved to 'C-x p C-S-w', for example (by
analogy with C-x v D'.
