[PATCH 2/5] Move sanitary_path_copy() to path.c and rename it to normalize_path_copy()

This function and normalize_absolute_path() do almost the same thing. The former already works on Windows, but the latter crashes.

In subsequent changes we will remove normalize_absolute_path(). Here we make the replacement function reusable. On the way we rename it to reflect that it does some path normalization. Apart from that this is only moving around code.
