Ken Brown 85aff2830a Cygwin: normalize_win32_path: allow drive without trailing backslash
Commit 283cb372, "Cygwin: normalize_win32_path: improve error
checking", required a prefix '\\?\' or '\??\' in the source path to be
followed by 'UNC\' or 'X:\', where X is a drive letter.  That was too
restrictive, since it disallowed the paths '\\?\X: and '\??\X:'.  This
caused problems when a user tried to use the root of a drive as the
Cygwin installation root, as reported here:

  https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2020-01/msg00111.html

Modify the requirement so that '\??\X:' and '\\?\X:' are now allowed
as source paths, without a trailing backslash.
