[PATCH 3/5] Fix GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES on Windows

[Johannes Sixt <j6t@kdbg.org>]

From: René Scharfe <rene.scharfe@lsrfire.ath.cx>

Using git with GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES crashed on Windows due to a failed
assertion in normalize_absolute_path(): This function expects absolute
paths to start with a slash, while on Windows they can start with a drive
letter or a backslash.

This fixes it by using the alternative, normalize_path_copy() instead,
which can handle Windows-style paths just fine.

Secondly, the portability macro PATH_SEP is used instead of expecting
colons to be used as path list delimiter.

The test script t1504 is also changed to help MSYS's bash recognize some
program arguments as path list. (MSYS's bash must translate POSIX-style
path lists to Windows-style path lists, and the heuristic did not catch
some cases.)

	I have adjusted the patch to fit into the series.
	I modified the commit message to pretend that the goal was
	to fix a feature instead of the test case ;) Hope that is
	fine with you.
