Use path/win32 import over path.win32

Enhancement

Description

Use path/win32 over path.win32 (e.g. here) for path related API functions in Windows-only code. This makes the code more succinct and makes it harder to make mistakes - e.g. accidentally using path.basename instead of path.win.basename.

Per the documentation for path/win32/path.win32, the former was first exposed in 15.3.0:

Version	Changes
v15.3.0	Exposed as require('node:path/win32').
v0.11.15	Added in: v0.11.15

So, this change can't be applied until the lowest supported version of Node.js by Shescape is >=15.3.0 - likely a major version bump that increases the minimum Node.js to v16 when Node.js v14 support has ended.

Background

path/win32 was first imported in the refactoring carried out in #161. After that change was released in v1.5.3 it was identified as a bug (see #197) in older Node.js version. This was patched in #199, which was released in v1.5.4. This issue exists to pick up path/win32 as soon as the minimum Node.js version supported supports it.
