`dirPathTrailingSlash` is used both in `DirectoryPath` and `ZipArchiveFileLookup`,
the former is platform-depndent, while the latter always uses `/` as separator.

Previously, the code works by accident: `new JFile(dir, path)` and `dir.resolve(path)`
are able to handle `path = "java/lang"` on windows.
if (java.io.File.separatorChar == '/')
dirPathTrailingSlashJar
else
FileUtils.dirPath(dottedString) + java.io.File.separator

I don't know if this is too cautious. One justification for the duplication is to save hours of debugging for future maintainers.

WDYT @sjrd ?

If this file name is used for lookup only, then it can be / on all platforms, including Windows. Java can find files that you specify with / as if they were \.

Where it breaks down is when listing files, then comparing their paths to some other data where you always have /, or if you split('/'). Because Windows will give you \, which won't be compared/split correctly.

Yes, that is the worry I have. String paths like a/b/c on windows are mines: if they are accidentally spliced to form a bigger string path, errors are guaranteed. Currently (before this commit), they already leak to DirectoryPath, and works accidentally.
