At the moment the module resolver will end up in an infinite loop in Windows because we are assuming that the root directory is always `/` however in windows this can be any drive letter example `c:/` or `d:/` etc...
With this change we also resolve the drive letter in windows, when using `AbsoluteFsPath.from` for consistence so under `/foo` will be converted to `c:/foo` this is also needed because of relative paths with different drive letters.

Previously, if a matching rootDir ended with a slash then the path
returned from `logicalPathOfFile()` would not start with a slash,
which is inconsistent.

This commit introduces support for the windows paths in the new concrete types mechanism that was introduced in this PR https://github.com/angular/angular/pull/28523
Normalized posix paths that start with either a `/` or `C:/` are considered to be an absolute path.
Note: `C:/` is used as a reference, as other drive letters are also supported.
Fixes#28754

This commit introduces a new ngtsc sub-library, 'path', which contains
branded string types for the different kind of paths that ngtsc manipulates.
Having static types for these paths will reduce the number of path-related
bugs (especially on Windows) and will eliminate unnecessary defensive
normalizing.
See the README.md file for more detail.
