Corinna Vinschen 6b97962073 Cygwin: symlinks: fix WSL symlink creation if cygdrive prefix is /
If the cygdrive prefix is /, then the following happens right now:

  $ ln -s /tmp/foo .
  $ ls -l foo
  lrwxrwxrwx 1 user group 12 Apr 15 23:44 foo -> /mnt/tmp/foo

Fix this by skipping cygdrive prefix conversion to WSL drive
prefix "/mnt", if the cygdrive prefix is just "/".  There's no
satisfying way to do the right thing all the time in this case
anyway.  For a description and the alternatives, see
https://cygwin.com/pipermail/cygwin-developers/2020-April/011859.html

Also, fix a typo in a comment.
