t0060: verify that real_path() works correctly with absolute paths

There is currently a bug: if passed an absolute top-level path that
doesn't exist (e.g., "/foo") it incorrectly interprets the path as a
relative path (e.g., returns "$(pwd)/foo").  So mark the test as
failing.

These tests are skipped on Windows because test-path-utils operates on
a DOS-style absolute path even if a POSIX style absolute path is
passed as argument.
