Bazel client: move NormalizePath to Windows code This method was only used by the Windows-specific code so move it there and adapt it to Windows paths. Update AsWindowsPath to normalize its output: this is necessary because AsWindowsPath's output is a widechar path string which we often prefix with the UNC prefix, but such paths must be normalized (the kernel won't do it if the path has an UNC prefix). Finally, add an AsWindowsPathWithUncPrefix method which does what the name suggests: converts the path to Windows path, makes it absolute, and adds the UNC prefix if necessary. (This is a very common operation when calling WinAPI functions and we'll use it a lot in subsequent changes.)

{Fast, Correct} - Choose two
Bazel is a build tool that builds code quickly and reliably. It is used to build the majority of Google‘s software, and thus it has been designed to handle build problems present in Google’s development environment, including:
A massive, shared code repository, in which all software is built from source. Bazel has been built for speed, using both caching and parallelism to achieve this. Bazel is critical to Google's ability to continue to scale its software development practices as the company grows.
An emphasis on automated testing and releases. Bazel has been built for correctness and reproducibility, meaning that a build performed on a continuous build machine or in a release pipeline will generate bitwise-identical outputs to those generated on a developer's machine.
Language and platform diversity. Bazel's architecture is general enough to support many different programming languages within Google, and can be used to build both client and server software targeting multiple architectures from the same underlying codebase.
