simplify and improve canonicalize_name

 - Replace scan and memmove with simple automaton
 - Convert forward to back slashes, lots of file systems treat them
   equivalenty, this saves us a few more checks down the road
 - Remove './' path components. We can saveley remove them in a string
   processing step instead of throwing an error. Also they actually appear
   often in tar balls, possibly not under user control.
