Tvangeste found that the "relative_path" function could not work properly on Windows if "in" and "prefix" have dos driver prefix. ($gmane/234434)

e.g., When execute: test-path-utils relative_path "C:/a/b" "D:/x/y", should return "C:/a/b", but returns "../../C:/a/b", which is wrong.

So make relative_path honor dos_drive_prefix, and add test cases for it in t0060.
