[9] RFC on 8066943: (fs) Path.relativize() gives incorrect result for ".." on Windows

[Brian Burkhalter]

I created a naive provisional patch here:

http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~bpb/8066943/webrev.00/

A JPRT run without the included test shows no regressions on non-Mac platforms and the Mac was already tested manually.

It does not look from the specification

http://download.java.net/jdk9/docs/api/java/nio/file/Path.html#relativize-java.nio.file.Path-

that any javadoc update would be needed.

Please comment at your convenience.

Thanks,

Brian
