When argument parsing fails to detect a file name, "git-gui" will try to
use the previously detected "head" as the file name. We should avoid
prepending the prefix if "head" looks like a full path.

When running "git-gui blame" from a subfolder (which means prefix is
non-empty), if we pass a full path as argument, the argument parsing
will fail to recognize the argument as a file name, because prefix is
prepended to the argument.

This patch handles that scenario by adding an additional branch that
checks the file name without using the prefix.

 check to compat

Commit b2f5e268 (Windows: Work around an oddity when a pipe with no reader
is written to) introduced a check for EINVAL after fflush() to fight
spurious "Invalid argument" errors on Windows when a pipe was broken. But
this check may hide real errors on systems that do not have the this odd
behavior. Introduce an fflush wrapper in compat/mingw.* so that the treatment
is only applied on Windows.
