fix: prevent path escape using drive-relative paths

On Windows, a path like `c:foo` is not considered "absolute", but if the
cwd it's being resolved against is on a different drive letter, then
`resolve(cwd, path)` will not end up contained within `cwd`, even in the
absence of `..` portions.

This change strips path roots from all paths prior to being resolved
against the extraction target folder, even if such paths are not
"absolute".

Additionally, a path starting with a drive letter and then two dots,
like `c:../`, would bypass the check for `..` path portions.  This is
now being checked properly.

Finally, a defense in depth check is added, such that if the
entry.absolute is outside of the extraction taret, and we are not in
preservePaths:true mode, a warning is raised on that entry, and it is
skipped.  Currently, it is believed that this check is redundant, but it
did catch some oversights in development.
