Fix handling of partial and invalid UNC drives in ``ntpath.splitdrive()``,
and in ``ntpath.normpath()`` on non-Windows systems. Paths such as
'\\server' and '\\' are now considered by ``splitdrive()`` to contain only a
drive, and consequently are not modified by ``normpath()`` on non-Windows
systems. The behaviour of ``normpath()`` on Windows systems is unaffected,
as native OS APIs are used. Patch by Eryk Sun, with contributions by Barney
Gale.
