Implement support for Win32 Namespace prefixed file name in Notepad++. (Ref: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/fileio/naming-a-file#win32-file-namespaces) Support the Win32-filenames escaped by \\?\ or \\?\UNC\, possible globbing in filenames (\\?\C:\fil?.txt) and shell links (\\?\C:\file.txt.lnk) included. Unsupported (temporarily - it needs further patches for Notepad++): - any raw filename with length exceeding the MAX_PATH. - any nonstandard Windows OS filename: with 'dot' or 'space' char(s) at the name end, WinOS reserved ones: AUX, CON, PRN, NUL, COM1-9, LPT1-9 and the ones with invalid ASCII chars in it (0-31, <, >, | , ").
