Always use forward slash for file paths when generating the website

Tell us about your environment

• MarkBind Version: 1.17.0

What did you do? Please include the actual source code causing the issue.

Repeat the steps on 2 different platforms (Windows vs Mac/Linux):

1. markbind init
2. markbind build
3. Check the file paths inside the generated index.html.

What did you expect to happen?

The file paths generated should use a consistent slash (i.e. /), regardless of the OS that the author is running.

What actually happened? Please include the actual, raw output.

• On Windows, the slash generated is \.

<script src="markbind\js\setup.js"></script>
<script src="markbind\layouts\default\scripts.js"></script>
</html>

• On Mac & Linux, the slash generated is /.

<script src="markbind/js/setup.js"></script>
<script src="markbind/layouts/default/scripts.js"></script>
</html>

I don't think there's an option in path library that enforces consistent path separator. Perhaps we may have to write a wrapper over the functions we use to replace \ with /?

This will also make the file compare process easier/less prone to bugs.

A similar problem was encountered with the implementation of #475 serve --one-page, which was solved by adding the function ensurePosixPath (d86153c) to replace \ with /. We could use that to resolve this as well.
