Fix Abs path validation on Windows (#124084)

* Windows: Consider slash-prefixed paths as absolute

filepath.IsAbs does not consider "/" or "\" as absolute paths, even
though files can be addressed as such. [1][2]

Currently, there are some unit tests that are failing on Windows due to
this reason.

* Add test to verify IsAbs for windows
