Disallow:
1. paths with trailing dot
2. paths with trailing space
3. paths with trailing colon
4. paths that are 8.3 short names of .git folders ("GIT~1")
5. paths that are reserved path names (COM1, LPT1, etc).
6. paths with reserved DOS characters (colons, asterisks, etc)
These paths would (without \\?\ syntax) be elided to other paths - for
example, ".git." would be written as ".git". As a result, writing these
paths literally (using \\?\ syntax) makes them hard to operate with from
the shell, Windows Explorer or other tools. Disallow these.
When turning UTF-8 paths into UCS-2 paths for Windows, always use
the \\?\-prefixed paths. Because this bypasses the system's
path canonicalization, handle the canonicalization functions ourselves.
We must:
1. always use a backslash as a directory separator
2. only use a single backslash between directories
3. not rely on the system to translate "." and ".." in paths
4. remove trailing backslashes, except at the drive root (C:\)
