 1. On Options/Misc, enter "/tmp/foo/bar" as a value for the upload path
 setting.
 2. Write a new post and attach an image.

 Expected: the image file should be stored as /tmp/foo/bar/2008/02/file.jpg
 or similar.

 Actual: a 'tmp/foo/bar' subdirectory is created within ABSPATH (if that's
 possible) and the file is stored there.  Both the filesystem path and URL
 path just append '/tmp/foo/bar', so you get
 'ABSPATH//tmp/foo/bar/2008/02/file.jpg' and
 'http://example.com//tmp/foo/bar/2008/02/file.jpg'

 An absolute upload_path should probably be rejected unless you also
 specify an upload_url_path, because there's no way to know what URL
 corresponds to an arbitrary filesystem path.
