Update downstream path resolution before merging this change.

resolveDiffPathForWorkspace still converts every backslash in a Git path to /. The primary Open action and context-menu Open/Reveal actions can therefore resolve back\slash.txt as back/slash.txt.

Keep Git paths slash-separated in resolveDiffPathForWorkspace. Convert the logical path to a host path only at the filesystem boundary. Update the existing mixed-separator test and add a focused test for a literal-backslash filename.

Review comment at @apps/web/src/lib/turnDiffTree.ts at line 38:
Update resolveDiffPathForWorkspace to preserve Git’s slash-separated paths
without converting backslashes into separators; convert the logical path to a
host path only at the filesystem boundary so filenames containing literal
backslashes resolve correctly. Update the existing mixed-separator test and add
a focused test for a literal-backslash filename.
