Damien Neil 7fa2c736b3 os: disallow Root.Remove(".") on Plan 9, js, and Windows
Windows already forbids this, since removing the root causes a
sharing violation (can't delete the directory while the os.Root
has a handle open to it), but add a more explicit check for
attempts to delete "." and return EINVAL.

Note that this change to Windows doesn't affect operations like
Root.Remove("dir/."), since the path is cleaned into just "dir"
before attempting the deletion.

Fixes #73863
