mingw: deprecate old-style runtime-prefix handling in interpolate_path()

On Windows, an absolute POSIX path needs to be turned into a Windows
one. We used to interpret paths starting with a single `/` as relative
to the runtime-prefix, but now these need to be prefixed with
`%(prefix)/`. Let's warn for now, but still handle it.
