On Windows, absolute paths never start with a slash, unless a POSIX emulation layer is used. The latter is the case for MSYS2's Perl that Git for Windows leverages. However, in the tests we also go through plain `git.exe`, which does *not* leverage the POSIX emulation layer, and therefore the paths we pass to Perl may actually be DOS-style paths such as C:/Program Files/Git. So let's just use Perl's own way to test whether a given path is absolute or not instead of home-brewing our own. This patch partially fixes t7800 and t9700 when running in Git for Windows' SDK.
