Fixed pattern replacements in Filter.php

[arturm11]

Fixed bad pattern replacements. Eliminates warnings when used as PHP Sniffer extension in VSCode.

Description

If full Windows path is used as ignore filter in shouldIgnorePath() function, then conversion to PREG pattern was buggy.
Windows backslash separator should be converted into double backslash (escaped backslash) AND Linux slash separator should be converted into double backslash.

Suggested changelog entry

Add backslash into double backslash replacement for Windows.

@arturm11 Thank you for this PR.

I've been able to reproduce the issue with PHPCS itself via the command line using something along the lines of:

phpcs --ignore=D:\path\to\PHP_CodeSniffer\src\Tokenizers\CSS.php

which results in a:

Warning: preg_match(): Compilation failed: unknown property after \P or \p at offset * in D:\path\to\PHP_CodeSniffer\src\Filters\Filter.php on line 278

And the change made in this PR fixes this. 👍

Before I can accept the PR, could you please have a look at the third checklist item in the "PR checklist" ?

I'd also like to see this change safeguarded via tests. There are some tests for the Filters in the tests/Core/Filters directory already. These could probably be expanded.

@jrfnl Now I am not sure. Please analyze Ignoring Files and Folders section in the wiki. It is stated, that filter can be treated as regular expression. Backslash character is special character for RE. Therefore Windows paths shouldn't be accepted and backslash should be converted to slash in Windows path on input.
