setup_git_directory(): handle UNC root paths correctly

When working in the root directory of a file share (this is only
possible in Git Bash and Powershell, but not in CMD), the current
directory is reported without a trailing slash.

This is different from Unix and standard Windows directories: both / and
C:\ are reported with a trailing slash as current directories.

If a Git worktree is located there, Git is not quite prepared for that:
while it does manage to find the .git directory/file, it returns as
length of the top-level directory's path *one more* than the length of
the current directory, and setup_git_directory_gently() would then
return an undefined string as prefix.

In practice, this undefined string usually points to NUL bytes, and does
not cause much harm. Under rare circumstances that are really involved
to reproduce (and not reliably so), the reported prefix could be a
suffix string of Git's exec path, though.

A careful analysis determined that this bug is unlikely to be
exploitable, therefore we mark this as a regular bug fix.
