[PATCH v3 1/1] cygwin: Allow pushing to UNC paths
From: Torsten Bögershausen <tboegi@web.de>
cygwin can use an UNC path like //server/share/repo
$ cd //server/share/dir
$ mkdir test
$ cd test
$ git init --bare
However, when we try to push from a local Git repository to this repo,
there is a problem: Git converts the leading "//" into a single "/".
As cygwin handles an UNC path so well, Git can support them better:
- Introduce cygwin_offset_1st_component() which keeps the leading "//",
similar to what Git for Windows does.
- Move CYGWIN out of the POSIX in the tests for path normalization in t0060
Signed-off-by: Torsten Bögershausen <tboegi@web.de>

I think I skip all the changing in setup.c and cygwin_access() for the
moment:
- It is not clear, what is a regression and what is an improvement
- It may be a problem that could be solved in cygwin itself
- I was able to push a an UNC path on a Windows server
when the domain controller was reachable.
