[PATCH] Cygwin: mkdir and rmdir: treat drive names specially


If the directory name has the form 'x:' followed by one or more
slashes or backslashes, and if there's at least one backslash, assume
that the user is referring to 'x:\', the root directory of drive x,
and don't strip the backslash.

Previously all trailing slashes and backslashes were stripped, and the
name was treated as a relative file name containing a literal colon.
