This is the second part to removing REDOS vulnerabilities from v4.x
The function `splitTailRe` exposed a REDOS vulnerability. It was only
utilized in the Windows implementation of a number of the path utilities.
In v6.x a change landed that unwound this regular expression, and in
turn patched the vulnerability.
This commit copies the unwound implementation currently found on v8.x.
It is completely self contained. I attempted to keep all warnings
and deprecations the same as the v4.x implementation, but may have
missed something buried in the large unwound functions.
