WINECFG: use directory harddiskvolume1 for mapping drive C instead
of drive_c

I've seen installers from Microsoft call QueryDosDevice on the whole
alphabet and search any returned object name for the substrings "harddisk"
and "ramdisk". On Wine they normally won't find any and quit with the
following error:
"Unable to find a volume for file extraction"
QueryDosDevice on Wine returns the filename pointed to by the drive link
beneath the dosdevices directory. In a default Wine installation this
is ../drive_c. So a simple fix for this problem is to use the a different
name for that directory, for example the name used for the first harddisk
in the NT object namespace: harddiskvolume1.
