[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 1.1 07/22] block: simplify path_is_absolute

[Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>]

On Windows, all the logic is already in is_windows_drive and
is_windows_drive_prefix.  On POSIX, there is no need to look
out for colons.

The win32 code changes the behaviour in some cases, we could have
something like "d:foo.img". The old code would treat it as relative
path, the new one as absolute. Now the path is absolute, because to
go from c:/program files/blah to d:foo.img you cannot say c:/program
files/blah/d:foo.img.  You have to say d:foo.img.  But you could also
say it's relative because (I think, at least it was like that in DOS
15 years ago) d:foo.img is relative to the current path of drive D.
Considering how path_is_absolute is used by path_combine, I think it's
better to treat it as absolute.
