Bugfix: Correctly handle volume names in `backup` command on Windows
On Windows, when the specified backup target only included the volume
name without a trailing slash, for example, `C:`, then restoring the
resulting snapshot would result in an error. Note that using `C:\`
as backup target worked correctly.
Specifying volume names is now handled correctly.
To restore snapshots created before this bugfix, use the <snapshot>:<subpath>
syntax. For example, to restore a snapshot with ID `12345678` that backed up
`C:`, use the following command:
```
restic restore 12345678:/C/C:./ --target output/folder
```
