nbd-client: Support leading / in NBD URI
The NBD URI specification [1] states that only one leading slash at
the beginning of the URI path component is stripped, not all such
slashes. This becomes important to a patch I just proposed to nbdkit
[2], which would allow the exportname to select a file embedded within
an ext2 image: ext2fs demands an absolute pathname beginning with '/',
and because qemu was inadvertantly stripping it, my nbdkit patch had
to work around the behavior.

[2] https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2020-February/msg00109.html
Note that the qemu bug only affects handling of URIs such as
nbd://host:port//abs/path (where '/abs/path' should be the export
name); it is still possible to use --image-opts and pass the desired
export name with a leading slash directly through JSON even without
this patch.
