path.relative parse wrong in windows

Node Version: 5.7.0

var path = require('path');
var a = 'E:/WORKSPACE/GitHub/file-send/test/fixtures/name.d/';
var b = 'E:/WORKSPACE/GitHub/file-send/test/fixtures/name.dir/name.txt';

console.log(path.relative(a, b));

result:

@mscdex

cc: @mscdex

> path.win32.relative('E:/name.d/', 'E:/name.dir/file.txt')
'ir\\file.txt'

Affects both posix and win32. Only occurs at the device root

EDIT: win32 occurs outside of the device root in v5.7.0, only occurs at the device root in master (likely due to my fixes)

> path.win32.relative('E:/name.d', 'E:/name.dir/file.txt')
'ir\\file.txt'
> path.win32.relative('E:/foo/name.d', 'E:/foo/name.dir/file.txt')
'..\\name.dir\\file.txt'
> path.posix.relative('/name.d', '/name.dir/file.txt')
'ir/file.txt'
> path.posix.relative('/foo/name.d', '/foo/name.dir/file.txt')
'../name.dir/file.txt'

So, pretty sure this is #5447, but we didn't resolve it at the device root. The other direction of "prefixness" problems also exist at the device root which we didn't catch either. Clearly need to add more test cases off of the root, which has ended up being a bit of an edge case:

> path.win32.relative('C:/baz-quux', 'C:/baz')
'..baz'
> path.win32.relative('C:/baz', 'C:/baz-quux')
'-quux'
> path.posix.relative('/baz-quux', '/baz')
'..'
> path.posix.relative('/baz', '/baz-quux')
'-quux'

I have a fix for win32, looking at posix

It seems the issue is observed only in root for posix, and everywhere for win32:

> path.posix.relative('/name.d', '/name.dir/file.txt')
'ir/file.txt'
> path.posix.relative('/a/name.d', '/a/name.dir/file.txt')
'../name.dir/file.txt' // correct

> path.win32.relative('E:/name.d', 'E:/name.dir/file.txt')
'ir\\file.txt'
> path.win32.relative('E:/a/name.d', 'E:/a/name.dir/file.txt')
'ir\\file.txt'

Yep, that second win32 case should be working in master/v5.7.1-proposal

path: fix path.relative() for prefixes at root
