safe_create_leading_directories(): on Windows, \ can separate path components

When cloning to a directory "C:\foo\bar" from Windows' cmd.exe where "foo" does not exist yet, Git would throw an error like fatal: could not create work tree dir 'c:\foo\bar'.: No such file or directory Fix this by not hard-coding a platform specific directory separator into safe_create_leading_directories(). This patch, including its entire commit message, is derived from a patch by Sebastian Schuberth.
