command/{Queue,File}Commands: drop "file:///" prefix for absolute paths
Requiring this prefix makes the client's intention very clear, but it was too hard to understand why this prefix was needed. Initially, my intention was to differentiate from broken clients which prefix relate URIs with a slash; once MPD allowed that. In the past few years however, MPD has disallowed that, and there was no significant breakage (except for the "add /" special case which some clients apparently still do). So I figure it's about time to define that an URI that begins with a slash points to an arbitrary file on the file system.
