Hosted Plugins on Windows not working

Reproduction Steps

I use yoman to create a simple hello word plugin, when I run hosted plugin, the error "root ERROR Failed to load plugin metadata from" showed.

OS and Theia version:
Windows @theia/example-browser 0.7.0
Diagnostics:
Here is what I found: Packages->plugin-dev->src->node->hosted-plugins-manager.ts
line69 this.checkWatchScript(pluginRootPath) , pluginRootPath = "/c%3A/theia-devtools-plugin/theia-devtools-plugin" which is not right path on windows

hello, it's not fixed by #5274 ?

[FrankMathers]

seems not, I just pulled the latest code, and run, the error is still there.

This has been fixed by #6316, merged yesterday.

Note that this may not work in Electron for other reasons. With this fix it should work on Windows in the browser.

@westbury if this is confirmed fixed, could you close the issue?
