Working on Windows you sometime end up having some paths with backslashes (windows native) and some with slashes - this PR will resolve the issue using gitpython for those kind of cases (see example below). It will also fix the issues if paths contain redundant separators or "..".

```
import git

repo = git.Repo(r"C:\gittest")
repo.index.add(r"C:\gittest\1.txt")
# Traceback (most recent call last):
#   File "c:\second_test.py", line 5, in <module>
#     repo.index.add(r"C:/gittest/2.txt")
#   File "Python311\Lib\site-packages\git\index\base.py", line 879, in add
#     paths, entries = self._preprocess_add_items(items)
#                      ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
#   File "Python311\Lib\site-packages\git\index\base.py", line 672, in _preprocess_add_items
#     paths.append(self._to_relative_path(item))
#                  ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
#   File "Python311\Lib\site-packages\git\index\base.py", line 657, in _to_relative_path
#     raise ValueError("Absolute path %r is not in git repository at %r" % (path, self.repo.working_tree_dir))

repo.index.add(r"C:/gittest/2.txt")

repo.index.commit("test")
