Entitlement policies correct handling of prefixes that are not direct…

…ories (elastic#121598) (elastic#121808)

* Fix FileAccessTree for prefixes that aren't parents

* Support backslashes

* Whoops, nio

* Move normalization responsibility to FileEntitlement

* Normalize to native separators

* Avoid forbidden API
