Martin Storsjö 1a501728ed tests: Fix fate-run.sh to handle busybox-w32 absolute paths
Busybox-w32 uses regular Windows style paths with drive letters,
but with forward slashes; thus an absolute path starts with "c:/".

Make the target_path() function in fate-run.sh (which converts a
potentially relative path to an absolute one, under the target_path
prefix) handle this case.

With this in place, running fate tests almost works in
busybox-w32 - only one issue remains. A patch [1] has been sent to
upstream busybox for fixing that issue (which also is present if
running fate tests on busybox on Linux), but it hasn't been
responded to yet.
