fix(filesystem): ensure bare Windows drive letters normalize to root (#3434)

fix(filesystem): ensure bare Windows drive letters normalize to root

Appends path.sep to bare drive letters (e.g. "C:") before calling path.normalize(), preventing them from normalizing to "C:." (current directory on drive) instead of "C:\" (drive root). Includes test coverage with platform mocking.

Fixes #3418
