preg_match() use is overkill in path_is_absolute()

Description

path_is_absolute() utilizes preg_match() to check if the first character of a path string is either of two possibilities. This is way overkill for such a simple case. The alternative I've proposed via the attached patch is more performant and makes the intention of the code clearer (rather than obscured in a regular expression).

Like the patch, but our coding standards (or at least standard usage) are for array style access to characters i.e. $str[0]. See #13900.
