Incorrectly reported filepaths causes hot reloading to never trigger

[SiddharthSham]

While I suspect the issue to be specific to Windows, I have not tested on other platforms yet.

Within the reload method of the server, we expect the files to list out paths of the changed files.
On Windows, these paths use \\ as a delimiter sometimes, for example ./src\\views\\index.njk, while entry.inputPath uses a correctly normalised / delimiter - /src/views/index.njk.

This leads to a mismatch in the reload-client bundle, here, and thus always triggers a full refresh instead of morphing the DOM.

I'm unsure if this is related to a Windows user setting, or something handled internally by 11ty, but seems to be worth looking into!

I did just test this with the latest canary on my Windows laptop and was able to apply domdiff changes without full page refreshes—please let me know if you can still reproduce this with the latest versions!
