Description

Super small thing I noticed, but wanted to mention it here as it is a bit inconvenient. I am running the same tests in a windows and linux environment, but while codeql-win64 seems to ignore the casing/direction of slashes of the path to the ql file (within the qlref file), codeql-linux64 enforces strict case matching and forward slashes only. Can this be made consistent in both CLIs (either strict case/slash checks in both or no checks in both)?

Secondly, now that I am running things in a linux environment I noticed that the "Javadoc" class has a different location on linux/windows systems. While other comment classes like "Comment" have equivalent locations on both operating systems, Javadoc seems to be missing this functionality.

Let me know if there is anything I can clarify above, and thanks in advance for your assistance!
