Errors in `#line` directives on Windows

[sukus21]

Describe the bug

When passing -g to v on windows, the generated files contain incorrectly formatted file paths in the #line directives. This makes debugging through GDB+VScode harder than it has to be, as it cannot correctly map the C files to the V source code.

The breakpoints are still hit, I can still use the symbol watchers. I can still see the stack trace, and tell where the breakpoint was hit through that, but it is less than convenient.

Reproduction Steps

Everything described below is happening on Windows.

1. Create new V project using v new hello.
2. Inside this folder, run v -g ..
3. Locate generated C file (in my case, located in %localappdata%/Temp/v_0).
4. Find any #line directive, and check file path.

Expected Behavior

This is what I would expect it to output, assuming it was developed for Linux first:

#line 3 "../../../../../../OneDrive\\Programmering\\V\\spin\\src\\main.v"
void main__main(void) {

#line 4 "../../../../../../OneDrive\\Programmering\\V\\spin\\src\\main.v"
    println(_SLIT("Hello World!"));

Current Behavior

Notice how the drive letter is right in the middle of the path. I get this would work on Linux, because the root is just / on there, so it still produces a valid path. Doesn't work like that on Windows, unfortunately.

#line 3 "../../../../../..C:\\OneDrive\\Programmering\\V\\spin\\src\\main.v"
void main__main(void) {

#line 4 "../../../../../..C:\\OneDrive\\Programmering\\V\\spin\\src\\main.v"
    println(_SLIT("Hello World!"));

Possible Solution

If on windows, strip the drive name from the path, and replace it with a forward slash, to mimic the Linux paths. Another solution would be to use absolute paths, instead of relative paths. I don't know how realistic that is, though.

Additional Information/Context

This might also be problematic for windows users trying to debug V code not on the C:\\ drive.

V version

V 0.4.1 fdabd27

Environment details (OS name and version, etc.)

Windows 10, x86_64. GDB installed through msys64. V built from source only hours ago.

    if is_cc_tcc {
        // tcc currently has a bug, causing all #line files,
        // to be prefixed with the *same folder as the .tmp.c file*
        // this ../../ escaping, is a temporary workaround for that
        return '../../../../../..' + cescaped_path(os.real_path(path))
    }

Ah, well that's annoying. I'll hack something together in my end to get it working temporarily, until a more permanent fix is in place.
