Several TAP test suites have a need to translate from an msys path to a
Windows path. They currently use two ways to do that:
1. TestLib::real_dir, new in v11, is sound but works for directories only.
2. The $vfs_path approach is semi-private to PostgresNode.pm and 017_shm.pl,
and it does not work if the file falls in a mount point other than "/".
For example, it has been doing the wrong thing when builddir is
/c/nm/postgresql (falling in mount point /c).
I'd like to fix the mount point problem and consolidate these two methods. I
plan to call it TestLib::perl2host, since it translates a path in Perl's
notion of the filesystem to a path in the @host@ notion of the filesystem.
Attached.
