Drop the old-style runtime-prefix handling in interpolate_path() (#4389)

Once upon a time, Git for Windows had the need to specify paths in the
config that are relative to the runtime prefix (i.e. relative to the
location where Git for Windows happens to be installed). To support
that, special handling was introduced to treat paths starting with a
forward slash as relative to the runtime prefix. When trying to upstream
this feature, it was determined that it is not portable enough, and it
was deprecated in favor of the new strategy: starting paths with
`%(prefix)/` would indicate that they are relative to the runtime
prefix.

After deprecating the "leading slash means relative to runtime prefix"
feature in v2.34.0 (released November 15th, 2021), it is time to drop
it. This reverts commit 28fdfd8 and addresses
#4125, at long last.
