[JENKINS-9942] Clone from windows to linux slave fails

[jenkins-infra-bot]

If you enable the clone workspace plugin for a Linux slave and clone from the workspace of a Windows slave, the result is a flat directory of files containing the subdirectory paths with backslashes, instead of a directory tree.

  I think this is probably an issue in the workspace archiver logic in the core.

    [FIXED JENKINS-9942] Convert system path separator to "/"
  
  The ZipArchiver was visit()'d with a relative path that uses the system's path
  separator, but zip archives require a forward slash for platform compatibility.
  This fix replaces the platform-dependent File.separatorChar with a forward
  slash.
