[Feature Request] Officially support "/" as path separator

Discussed in #821

The path separator "/" already works in all 3 operating systems, but GrandOrgue gives a warning (at least if "Perform strict ODF" is checked).

Linux and macOS terminals work with "/" anyway, and Windows supports this separator as well. If I remember correctly, the "/" separator could even be used (unofficially) in DOS times.

In july 2014 (regarding rev 1713) we had a short discussion about this. I thought basically the same thing as you, that we could use whichever path separator / or \ because wx will handle it correctly anyway but Martin was of another opinion. The help since old specifies \ as canonical separator and basic reason was complying to the HW1 standard.

I won't complain about removing the warning about which path separator is used, though.

PS. In DOS one would use / to specify parameters or switches to a program, never the paths, but this is very much irrelevant now.

I propose to introduce a separate settings checkbox Check ODF for HW1 compatibility and print warnings about / delimiter only if is enabled.
