Description

On windows `read_csv()` supports forward slash or backslash in paths. `read_xlsx()` currently only accepts backslash. It would be useful to support both on windows in the same way.

Research direction

Start by comparing the Windows path handling in read_xlsx() with the existing behavior of read_csv(). Verify the change by checking that read_xlsx() accepts both forward-slash and backslash paths on Windows, matching read_csv().
