mingw: short-circuit the conversion of `/dev/null` to UTF-16
In the next commit, we want to disallow accessing any path that contains
any segment that is equivalent to `NUL`. In particular, we want to
disallow accessing `NUL` (e.g. to prevent any repository from being
checked out that contains a file called `NUL`, as that is not a valid
file name on Windows).
However, there are legitimate use cases within Git itself to write to
the Null device. As Git is really a Linux project, it does not abstract
that idea, though, but instead uses `/dev/null` to describe this
intention.
So let's side-step the validation _specifically_ in the case that we
want to write to (or read from) `/dev/null`, via a dedicated short-cut
in the code that skips the call to `validate_win32_path()`.
