RFR: 8194154: JDK crashes parsing path string contains '//' on linux

[yumin qi]

Alan,

  The real reason is if we do not change on resolve, the string passed into
native canonicalize will be like "//./a/" which is not expected in native
part. In native part, we resume that no more "//" in the path string
(already normalized in java).
   We can fix this by  either:
   1) in java part, like the webrev here
    or
    2) in native canonicalize_md.c as webrev0.
   If the test run on Windows, should it run in unix like shell on Windows?
The separator "/" is not for Windows.

 Thanks
  Yumin
