Paths beginning with ~ should not be treated as absolute for URL(filePath:). This is because when constructing a URLComponents for a file path we consider absolute, we do:

components.file = "file"
components.host = ""
components.path = path

This would create the string like file://~/. However, URLComponents rejects this string because the ~ is ambiguous--it looks like a host. This can lead components.url! to crash when force-unwrapping.

This PR changes the isAbsolute check to only consider / paths absolute. If the path starts with ~, we will try to expand the tilde, then ensure that the result is absolute.

Refactored the Windows part and moved up the .first == ._slash check, which is valid for Windows and non-Windows platforms.
