dotCooCoo 6e4fb6e4e7 Links: a link on a drive mapped to another share is not followed
craft-docpath follows a stored path only on this computer or on the
share the document is on, but its check is lexical and cannot see
mapped drives. fileio::document_path therefore followed a link stored
as Y:\img\logo.png, where Y: is mapped to \\server\other, from any
document: opening the document, links.check, Link Info and the
linked-file watch read or stamped the file on that server.

On Windows, document_path now reads the final path of the root folder
of a link's drive (std::fs::canonicalize). Windows opens that root
folder on the drive's server to answer, so the check still contacts
the server once per lookup; no file on it is read, stamped or watched.
When the final path names a share, the link is checked against the
document's path on its share, and a link on another share is refused
as on another computer, as a link stored with that share's own path
is. Links on this computer's drives and on the document's share are
followed as before, and a link on the document's own drive is not
looked up. A document opened as \\?\Z:\... is looked up on its share
as Z:\... is. Other systems are unchanged.
