Support windows-style path...?

[YooSunYoung]

We're not handling str path and just pass it to h5py.File here

scippnexus/src/scippnexus/file.py

Lines 50 to 53 in 94779e6

	else:
	self._file = h5py.File(name, *args, **kwargs)
	self._manage_file_context = True
	super().__init__(self._file, definitions=definitions)

But maybe we can wrap it with pathlib.Path to make sure it works...?

Since you copy + paste from windows finder, it gives you path with \
but users might not know of pathlib.Path, especially when you're using high-level interface like workflows.

I tried it in a Windows VM and it seems to work with backslashes. But you have to remember to use a raw string. Otherwise, backslashes are interpreted as escape sequences. (This is not very nice for users but there is nothing we can do about it.)

Ah ha.

I think it'll help if we have that information in the docstring of the FilePath type in essreduce and File object.
