Use ctime in file digest cache key (#18101)

File digests are now additionally keyed by ctime for supported file system implementations. Since Bazel has a non-zero default for `--cache_computed_file_digests`, this may be required for correctness in cases where different files have identical mtime and inode number. For example, this can happen on Linux when files are extracted from a tar file with fixed mtime and are then replaced with `mv`, which preserves inodes.

Since Java (N)IO doesn't have support for reading file ctimes on Windows, a new method backed by a native implementation is added to `WindowsFileOperation`. Adding a call to this function to `stat` uncovered previously silent bugs where Unix-style `PathFragment`s were created on Windows:

1. Bzlmod's `createLocalRepoSpec` did not correctly extract the path from a registry's `file://` URI on Windows.
2. `--package_path` isn't usable with absolute paths on Windows as it splits on `:`. Since the flag is deprecated, this commit fixes the tests rather than the implementation.

Fixes #14723

Closes #18003.
