 file-name-non-special does not handle operations with two args
 properly
Date: Tue, 05 Dec 2017 13:48:23 +0100

# There's no /tmp/foo nor /tmp/bar
ls /tmp/foo /tmp/bar
ls: cannot access '/tmp/foo': No such file or directory
ls: cannot access '/tmp/bar': No such file or directory

# Create /tmp/foo
mkdir /tmp/foo

# Run the test
emacs -Q -batch --eval '(copy-directory "/:/tmp/foo" "/:/tmp/bar")'
Creating directory: No such file or directory, /:/tmp/bar

# Run a similar test
emacs -Q -batch --eval '(copy-directory "/:/tmp/foo" "/ssh::/tmp/bar")'
Creating directory: No such file or directory, /ssh::/tmp/bar

The problem is, that `file-name-non-special', responsible for the first
argument "/:/tmp/foo", binds `file-name-handler-alist' to nil. The second
argument is handled literally. This happens for all operations, which
offer more than one file name argument.

I could fix it in `file-name-non-special', committed to the emacs-26
branch. Closing the bug.

Best regards, Michael.
