Replacing double slashes '//' to '/' in `toUnix()` causes problem when the path is a UNC path, beginning with double (back)slashes.
Examples of such pathes:
```
'\\\\server\\share\\file': '//server/share/file'
'\\\\?\\UNC\\server\\share\\file': '//?/UNC/server/share/file'
'\\\\LOCALHOST\\c$\\temp\\file': '//LOCALHOST/c$/temp/file'
'\\\\?\\c:\\temp\\file': '//?/c:/temp/file'
'\\\\.\\c:\\temp\\file': '//./c:/temp/file'
'////\\.\\c:/temp\\//file': '//./c:/temp/file'
```
See the following Microsoft documents about Windows path names:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/standard/io/file-path-formats
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/fileio/naming-a-file
Now (with my previous commit) returns '//server/share/file' on Windows but returns '/server/share/file' on Unix. I think this behavior is good in most case, but may be problematic when processing Windows UNC paths on Unix. So this commit modifies only the safe version .

Thank you for the PR @MurakamiShinyu & the tests. I will have a thorough look when I find some time ;-) |

Thank you @MurakamiShinyu - I will publish as 2.0.0 just in case it represents breaking changes for some people ;-) |

This is a follow-up fix to anodynos#38. That was my mistake. The regexp lookbehind assertion `(?<!^)` is not supported in some JavaScript engines, esp. WebKit's, and causes error, so it should not be used yet. See - "lookbehind assertions" in https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/RegExp#browser_compatibility - WebKit issue: [Bug 174931 - Implement RegExp lookbehind assertions](https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=174931)

Now (with the modified version of
toUnix()),upath.normalize('\\\\server\\share\\file')returns '//server/share/file' on Windows but returns '/server/share/file' on Unix. I think this behavior is good in most case, but may be problematic when processing Windows UNC paths on Unix. So I modified the safe versionnormalizeSafe()to preserve leading double slashes. (Update: same forjoinSafe())I noticed a related pull request #37 . Maybe it is good to omit unnecessary
//?/prefix. However, we need to keep the leading double slashes of the UNC paths.
