This change fixes "JDK-8383867: File.getCanonicalPath drops backslash from UNC 
path with directory junctions" when running Java in Windows from a network 
shared folder, like "\\MyNetworkShare\jdk\bin\java.exe", JVM drops a backslash 
when creating a canonical path if the path goes through a reparse point - it 
turns to "\MyNetworkShare\jdk\bin\java.exe" (the only backslash in the front).

I extended `test\jdk\java\io\File\GetCanonicalPath.java` test with the reparse 
point scenario. The test fails before the fix, and passes with the fix.
