 Though rarely used, Windows allows to omit drive letter in file path to
 treat is as drive–relative.

 This causes inconsistency where paths pointing to the same dir are not
 normalized to the same representation by `wp_normalize_path()`:

 {{{#!php
 <?php
 var_dump( wp_normalize_path( 'C:\server\www\dev' ) );
 // "C:/server/www/dev

 var_dump( wp_normalize_path( '\server\www\dev' ) );
 // /server/www/dev << same path, but mismatch after normalize

 var_dump( wp_normalize_path( realpath( '\server\www\dev' ) ) );
 // C:/server/www/dev << resolved drive letter before normalize
 }}}

 I think drive letter should be explicitly resolved as part of
 normalization for this case.
