Windows paths beginning with \\?\ open in separate tab when opened from the integrated terminal

[connorskees]

Related to #95147

When alt-clicking paths beginning with \\?\ in the integrated terminal, they will open in a separate tab from those opened without the prefix.

E.g.

cd %userprofile% 
mkdir foo && cd foo
echo bar > baz
echo %userprofile%\foo\baz VS \\?\%userprofile%\foo\baz

these two paths will open in separate tabs despite being the same file.

In addition, some extensions not expecting paths to contain \\?\ (namely, rust-analyzer v0.2.135) will crash when one opens a file in this way.
