Bug ID: 168181
Summary: RTF import: Hyperlink pointing to a system path with

A sample RTF with hyperlink with backslashes
The RTF is simplified from what Word 2016 generated. The system path in it is
c:\temp\doc1.doc. According to RTF spec 1.9.1 (which points to OOXML), the
backslashes in field text must be escaped with a second backslash. That gives
field text of c:\\temp\\doc1.doc. Then to save this to RTF, which itself uses
backslash as a special character (starting keywords), every backslash must be
escaped with another backslash. This produces c:\\\\temp\\\\doc1.doc; and
indeed, Word created exactly that string in the RTF. It must be reversed to
original c:\temp\doc1.doc on import; but Writer imports c:\\temp\\doc1.doc.
