These WIP patches try to remove all the '.' or '..' in the path except at
the beginning.
0001 is a small fix, because I find that is_absolute_path is not appropriate,
see comment in skip_drive:

But this modification will lead to a regress test failure on Windows:

Do you think this modification is necessary ?
Rest of the modification is in 0002. I think this patch need more test and review.
0003 is a test extension for me to check the action of canonicalize_path.
Do you think is necessary to add this test extension(and some test scripts) to master ?
If necessary, maybe I can use the taptest to test the action of canonicalize_path
in Linux and Windows.
I will add this to next commitfest after further test .
Regards.
