When deploying a stack using a relative path as bind-mount source in the compose file, the CLI converts the relative path to an absolute path, relative to the location of the docker-compose file.
This causes a problem when deploying a stack that uses an absolute Windows path, because a non Windows client will fail to detect that the path (e.g.
C:\somedir) is an absolute path (and not a relative directory namedC:\).The existing code did already take Windows clients deploying a Linux stack into account (by checking if the path had a leading slash). This patch adds the reverse, and adds detection for Windows absolute paths on non-Windows clients.
The code used to detect Windows absolute paths is copied from the Golang filepath package;
