This change breaks useful Windows behavior.

Previously:

  C:\> g:
  G:\> cd test
  G:\test> c:
  C:\> emacsclient g:myfile.txt

opened g:\test\myfile.txt. Now it tries to open g:/myfile.txt.

The problem is that the "Emacs [...] customary rules to determine how
to interpret the file name" do not help, because the interpretation of
g:myfile.txt depends on the shell where you do run emacsclient (you
can perfectly have two different default directories in g: in
different shell invocations).
