normalize_path_copy() is not prepared to keep the double-slash of a
//server/share/dir kind of path, but treats it like a regular POSIX
style path and transforms it to /server/share/dir.

The bug manifests when 'git push //server/share/dir master' is run,
because tmp_objdir_add_as_alternate() uses the path in normalized
form when it registers the quarantine object database via
link_alt_odb_entries(). Needless to say that the directory cannot be
accessed using the wrongly normalized path.

Fix it by skipping all of the root part, not just a potential drive
prefix. offset_1st_component takes care of this, see the
implementation in compat/mingw.c::mingw_offset_1st_component().
