Windows does not support file names of >255 UTF-16 characters, unless
the path is prefixed with
\\?\
or\??\
. Both of those, however,supress normalization. So Rust must do that normalization itself. This
commit makes the standard library do just that, by calling the Windows
API function GetFullPathNameW().
This implements rust-lang/rfcs#2188.
This also fixes a bug where a path beginning with
\??\
on Windows was incorrectly marked as not being a verbatim path. That it is such was confirmed by reading the .NET CoreFX sources.
