(Bug#57353)* test/lisp/files-tests.el (files-tests-bug-21454): Updateexpected results. (files-colon-path): Add a new test pattern.After this commit I'm getting the following test failure on Cygwin. I don't have time to look into it now, but I can do so in a few days if the fix isn't obvious.Ugh, it means the test data needs to be split three-way: one for MS-Windows/MS-DOS, another for Cygwin, and one more for the rest. Because Cygwin is like Posix systems, but it does want to support UNCs.
It's not just the test data that's wrong on Cygwin, but parse-colon-path is wrong: It always collapses multiple leading slashes to two.
Posix says that multiple leading slashes are equivalent to one slash *except* in the case of exactly two leading slashes. In that case, the interpretation is implementation-dependent.
Cygwin follows Posix and chooses to interpret precisely two leading slashes as referring to a UNC path. In particular, 3 or more slashes should be collapsed to 1 slash, as on other Posix systems, while exactly 2 leading slashes should be left alone.
