Description of Change(s)
This started as an attempt to fix a possible exception when handling paths starting with "/" in the code for #1441 and then write some additional tests. But my test cases kept failing. Turns out there were still issues in handling on non-mountpoint symlinks on Windows. There was also the potential for infinite recursion in Tf_MakeDirsRec when it was passed a malformed path.
Also adding the test cases that were failing without all these fixes.
Relates to #1441, #1378.
