On Windows, the backslash is the native directory separator, but all
supported Windows versions also accept the forward slash in most
circumstances.

Our tests expect forward slashes.

Relative paths are generated by Git using forward slashes.

So let's try to be consistent and use forward slashes in the $HOME part
of the paths reported by `git config --show-origin`, too.

This change is not warranted for the following reasons:

- It is only there to satisfy the --show-origin tests, but not
  for the benefit of the users.

- The use of $HOME in those tests is just incidental, but not necessary.

- There is no reason to change only paths depending on $HOME,
  but no other paths imported through the environment.

I see no advantage for the users of --show-origin that they now
see C:/foo/bar instead of C:\foo\bar. (For this reason, I'm not
suggesting to change all paths imported from the environment, just
the contrary, to leave them all alone).

A change like this whould have been preferable:

But it seems I'm late in the game. Can't I take a break for a week
without something odd happening to the Windows port...?
