The file drivers' *_parse_filename() implementations just strip the
optional protocol prefix off the filename. However, for e.g.
"file:foo:bar", this would lead to "foo:bar" being stored as the BDS's
filename which looks like it should be managed using the "foo" protocol.
This is especially troublesome if you then try to resolve a backing
filename based on "foo:bar".
This issue can only occur if the stripped part is a relative filename
("file:/foo:bar" will be shortened to "/foo:bar" and having a slash
before the first colon means that "/foo" is not recognized as a protocol
part). Therefore, we can easily fix it by prepending "./" to such
filenames.
