FoundationEssentials: strip leading /

When creating a file system representation from the path, we need to
strip the leading `/` which is added for the RFC representation of the
Windows path. Without this, the C runtime will fail with an invalid
argument error. Unfortunately this regresses the test suite by causing a
hang.
