add command does not write posix path for symlink on Windows

Symlinks in a git repository must be expressed using a posix path (the path separator should be a forward slash) (e.g., dir/file). On Windows, the add command in isomorphic-git writes the path using backslash as the path separator. This happens because isomorphic-git uses fs.readlink to read the link target. On Windows, this function returns the path using backslash as the path separator (e.g., dir\file). isomorphic-git does not correct this, and ends up writing the non-posix path into the blob object.

This can be fixed by checking for the existence of backslashs in the return value of fs.readlink and correcting them to forward slashes.

Ah, great point. That sounds very plausible.
