…dump.py

This is necessary so that duplicates in the composefs dump are avoided.
Even if the tools that assemble /etc can handle leading slashes, this
still is not correct. For example, you could have both /X11 and X11 in
environment.etc which makes overriding hard.

I can confirm that cherry-picking 92b9847 and a9161ce (just the composefs changes) fixes the issue as well as cherry-picking dff64f5 (that changes the xserver module) individually.
LGTM

A more proper fix would probably be to disallow leading slashes via an assertion or similar, because the approach here still leaves the collision problem open ("what if both etc."resolv.conf" and etc."/resolv.conf" are defined?").
