fix: use path to handle urls in weed admin file browser (#7858)

* fix: use path instead of filepath to handle urls in weed admin file browser

* test: add comprehensive tests for file browser path handling

- Test breadcrumb generation for various path scenarios
- Test path handling with forward slashes (URL compatibility)
- Test parent path calculation for Windows compatibility
- Test file extension handling using path.Ext
- Test bucket path detection logic

These tests verify that the switch from filepath to path package works
correctly and handles URLs properly across all platforms.

* refactor: simplify fullPath construction using path.Join

Replace verbose manual path construction with path.Join which:
- Handles trailing slashes automatically
- Is more concise and readable
- Is more robust for edge cases

* fix: normalize path in ShowFileBrowser and rename generateBreadcrumbs parameter

Critical fix:
- Add util.CleanWindowsPath() normalization to path parameter in ShowFileBrowser
  handler, matching the pattern used in other file operation handlers
  (lines 273, 464)
- This ensures Windows-style backslashes are converted to forward slashes
  before processing, fixing path handling issues on Windows

Consistency improvement:
- Rename path parameter to dir in generateBreadcrumbs function
- Aligns with parameter rename in GetFileBrowser for consistent naming
  throughout the file

* test: improve coverage for Windows path handling and production code behavior

Address reviewer feedback by enhancing test quality:

1. Improved test documentation:
   - Added clear comments explaining what each test validates
   - Clarified that some tests validate expected behavior vs production code
   - Documented the Windows path normalization flow

2. Enhanced actual production code testing:
   - TestGenerateBreadcrumbs: Calls actual production function
   - TestBreadcrumbPathFormatting: Validates production output format
   - TestDirectoryNavigation: Integration-style test for complete flow

3. Added new test functions for better coverage:
   - TestPathJoinHandlesEdgeCases: Verifies path.Join behavior
   - TestWindowsPathNormalizationBehavior: Documents expected normalization
   - TestDirectoryNavigation: Complete navigation flow test

4. Improved test organization:
   - Fixed duplicate field naming issues
   - Better test names for clarity
   - More comprehensive edge case coverage

These improvements ensure the fix for issue #7628 (Windows path handling)
is properly validated across the complete flow from handler to path logic.

* test: use actual util.CleanWindowsPath function in Windows path normalization test

Address reviewer feedback by testing the actual production function:
- Import util package for CleanWindowsPath
- Call the real util.CleanWindowsPath() instead of reimplementing logic
- Ensures test validates actual implementation, not just expected behavior
- Added more test cases for edge cases (simple path, deep nesting)

This change validates that the Windows path normalization in the
ShowFileBrowser handler (handlers/file_browser_handlers.go:64)
works correctly with the actual util.CleanWindowsPath function.

* style: fix indentation in TestPathJoinHandlesEdgeCases

Align t.Errorf statement inside the if block with proper indentation.
The error message now correctly aligns with the if block body,
maintaining consistent indentation throughout the function.

* test: restore backslash validation check in TestPathJoinHandlesEdgeCases
