[PATCH 4/4] sparse-checkout: work with Windows paths

["Derrick Stolee via GitGitGadget" <gitgitgadget@gmail.com>]

From: Derrick Stolee <dstolee@microsoft.com>

When using Windows, a user may run 'git sparse-checkout set A\B\C'
to add the Unix-style path A/B/C to their sparse-checkout patterns.
Normalizing the input path converts the backslashes to slashes before we
add the string 'A/B/C' to the recursive hashset.
