Convert Windows filepaths to lowercase and backslashes in mthelp
This attempts to resolve an issue where mthelp (and its texdoc shim in MiKTeX) would generate incorrect Windows file paths due to forward/back slash quirks. If it works on your end, this should close https://github.com/MiKTeX/miktex/issues/1349, close https://github.com/MiKTeX/miktex/issues/637, and properly resolve https://github.com/MiKTeX/miktex/issues/551 (as well as any other duplicates).
I do not have a Windows development environment, but the relevant portions of code appear to compile and run correctly on my Linux machine when taken out of the #if defined(MIKTEX_WINDOWS) block.

Stale bot on a PR is a very unusual decision. Bumping once since this PR is still relevant and the issue has been reported for at least three years.
That said, as far as I can tell, MiKTeX is basically in maintenance mode and the focus is only on keeping packages relatively up to date.
