[issue11378] os.path.join when second argument starts with '/' (linux/unix)

Documented it is, and change it may not, but I am still unconvinced.

Anything that joins "should" (IMHO) preserve the leading stuff - this one throws it away - sometimes. Also I do believe a number of other languages take a different stance (I am no pitonista, but took a double take when I noticed this).
