…t-absolute paths (python#113829)

On Windows, `os.path.isabs()` now returns `False` when given a path that
starts with exactly one (back)slash. This is more compatible with other
functions in `os.path`, and with Microsoft's own documentation.

Also adjust `pathlib.PureWindowsPath.is_absolute()` to call
`ntpath.isabs()`, which corrects its handling of partial UNC/device paths
like `//foo`.

…path.isabs change (#7482)

# References and relevant issues
Needed by: #7481

# Description
Python 3.13 changed how `os.path.isabs` works on Windows:
python/cpython#113829
Specifically, it will now return False for paths like `/foo/bar` on
Windows, while True on POSIX.
For True on Windows the path now needs to be `\\foo\bar`

We have 2 tests that use paths like `/foo/bar` and expect them to be
considered absolute.
In this PR, I add logic to test the proper paths on Windows using `\`.

You can see all tests pass on 3.13 with this fix in my fork:

python/cpython#113829 changed `os.path.isabs` on Windows to not consider a path starting a single backslash to be an absolute path.

We do a lot of naive `posixpath` to `ntpath` conversions, and it broke DVC in multiple places. DVC is likely broken in many other places, and these bugs are difficult to identify.

In this commit, I have tried to fix in the places where the tests failed. And mostly by trying to imitate pre-3.13 behaviour.
Some of the changes may not be correct but keeps the old behaviour in place.

Also re-enabled the CI for all Python versions supported for Windows.
