Description

### Describe the bug

The CLI constructed the `ConfigPath` variable with mixed seperators and hence, the reported default config path in `--help` was wrong.

```
--config string Path to Microcks config (default "C:\\Users\\HomePC/.config/microcks/config")
```

This seems to be a cosmetic issue only, the actual paths used by the runtime logic is different.

### Expected behavior

The expected path should be `C:\\Users\\HomePC\\.config\\microcks\\config` on Windows

### Actual behavior

Reports ` C:\Users\some_name/.config/microcks/config`

### How to Reproduce?

Run `microcks --help` on Windows

### Microcks version or git rev

fde7e8febdbb48c30ca74ba51aa77e725f033105

### Install method (`docker-compose`, `helm chart`, `operator`, `docker-desktop extension`,...)

Research direction

Start by tracing where the CLI constructs the ConfigPath value used in --help, focusing on the mixed separators shown in the issue. Reproduce with `microcks --help` on Windows and verify that the reported default path uses native Windows separators while runtime path behavior remains unchanged.
