Subject: [PATCH] make realpath replace leading // with a single /
On some systems a leading double slash may have special meaning, so
POSIX[1] says that "If a pathname begins with two successive <slash>
characters, the first component following the leading <slash> characters
may be interpreted in an implementation-defined manner"
While current musl implementation is technically correct, most other
systems' (at least GNU libc, freebsd, openbsd, netbsd macOS)
implementations will replace a leading // with a single /. Make musl
do the same to avoid surprises.
