On Windows, os.path.join() does not put a name such as 'C:foo' below a destination that has no drive, so the 'tar' and 'data' filters now refuse names and link targets with a drive, after normalization.

gh-161323: Refuse drive-relative paths in tarfile extraction filters (GH-161334)

* gh-161323: Refuse drive-relative paths in tarfile extraction filters

On Windows, os.path.join() does not put a name such as 'C:foo' below a
destination that has no drive, so the 'tar' and 'data' filters now refuse
names and link targets with a drive, after normalization.
Fixes CVE-2026-107784.
