Fails on paths that contain backslashes (\)

[JesseTG]

When using a build-directory input that contains a backslash, as is common on Windows, then the problem matcher will fail to install with a message similar to the following:

Run root-project/gcc-problem-matcher-improved@9d83f12b27a78210f0485fb188e08d94fa807a6d

Thanks,I'll have a look! (We haven't used the problem matcher on Windows yet.)

Thank you for looking into this. Unfortunately the problem persists:

Well, thank you for trying! Next I will try with forward slashes; if that still doesn't work I'll try with twice the amount of backslashes. It's gotta be possible somehow :-) Bear with me, please! And thanks for your feedback!

No problem, thanks for the useful tool!
