Add support for back-slash paths about gulp-auto-imports HOT 5 OPEN

Actually I think using a backSlash setting is the wrong approach now. If I use a backSlash setting it will be a stark on/off toggle that applies to all the paths. What if the user only want's to have some paths be back slashes and some paths be forward slashes? That wouldn't be possible with a backSlash setting.

I think the better approach would be to make it so that if the user uses \\$path instead of $path it will use backslashes instead of forward slashes. Or maybe #path, or \\path.... hmm 🤔

I need to also think about how to handle escaped back-slashes \\ vs normal back slashes \. I should provide a method for allowing the user to decide on what style of backslash they want to use.

I also need to make sure that the order retention functionality is compatible with the solution I come up with.

At the moment my best idea for a syntax is $\\path for single back slashes and $\\\\path for escaped back slashes.

I can't use $\path for single back slashes because the slashes need to be escaped and \p doesn't really translate into anything.

FYI, I went with this syntax:

$\_path = single back slashes

$\\path = escaped (double) backslashes

Technically $\_path is identical to writing $_path but I'm going to recommend adding the redundant backslash to help convey meaning.

I've ran into a bit of an issue where backslashes and absolute paths are not compatible with order retention.
