[PATCH v3] send-email: recognize absolute path on Windows

From: Erik Faye-Lund <kusmabite@googlemail.com>

On Windows, absolute paths might start with a DOS drive prefix, which these two checks failed to recognize.

Unfortunately, we cannot simply use the file_name_is_absolute helper in File::Spec::Functions, because Git for Windows has an MSYS-based Perl, where this helper doesn't grok DOS drive-prefixes.

So let's manually check for these in that case, and fall back to the File::Spec-helper on other platforms (e.g Win32 with native Perl)

So here's a version that does the old and long-time tested approach without requiring breaking changes to msysGit's perl.
