File paths should be platform-independent

See original GitHub issue

Config file paths (and possibly other paths such as baseline) are stored in detekt.xml and read back as platform-dependent.

This means that if the detekt.xml is shared in VCS for the whole team to use, and not everyone is on the same OS (mix of POSIX and Windows users) the paths will not work for some folks and they’ll be bombarded by “file not found” notifications from the Detekt plugin.

The plugin should store paths in a platform-independent way and apply the correct separators at runtime.
