Backslashes on $schema property (Windows)

See original GitHub issue

Current Behavior

When a new plugin project is created or existing plugin projects are migrated, the $schema property contains backslahes in paths.

I am not sure, if this affected by plugin projects only or it is a general issue.

It is a similar problem like #10122

Wouldn’t it be a good idea to add some general tests to ensure that all generators on Windows never use backslashes? I love Nx and like to write tests. So if I could contribute in a feasible way, I would be exited.

Expected Behavior

The $schema property should use forward slashes.

Steps to Reproduce

npx create-nx-workspace@14.1.5 another-monorepo --preset=apps
cd another-monorepo
npm install @nrwl/nx-plugin
npx nx generate @nrwl/nx-plugin:plugin another-plugin

The files libs/another-plugin/project.json and apps/another-plugin-e2e/project.json contain:

"$schema": "..\\..\\node_modules\\nx\\schemas\\project-schema.json"
