Fix problem with firstname options and buffer view

Fix issue: #3157 (comment)

Hmm.. I think this is an issue that plagues various other places involving plenary's Path class and windows paths with mixed path separators.
This is probably best fixed upstream in plenary.

@jamestrew why the problem is plenary? the problem seems to be vim.fn.getbufinfo(bufnr)[1], that return the "wrong" result

This resolves the issue on my machine with Windows 11, together with path_display set to filename_first works very well

This messes up unix paths.
We could do a workaround but my preference is to fix this in plenary.

I say this because we use plenary for all the cross-platform path stuff and the path from getbufinfo eventually gets fed into plenary.Path. If we fix the issue in plenary, we can fix this + like 3 other nearly identical issues.

I'll try to work on this week.

Is there any news on this issue? I searched in Plenary's issues, but I didn't see one. Also didn't see one referenced in this PR. Thanks in advance!
