Reproduce:

(assume ~/bin exists)

1. M-x shell RET
2. cd ~//bin RET
3. M-: default-directory RET

Expected:

default-directory is ~/bin

Actual:

default-directory is /bin

It seems like the directory tracker uses Emacs's convention for double
slashes "resetting" a path to root, but most shells treat double slashes
the same as single slashes.

It looks like this should be fixed in `shell-cd` (which should also fix
`shell-process-pushd`) by implementing "custom" path handling (compared
to Emacs default path handling behavior).
