2366,FilePath should allow access to all possible paths on Windows,jknight,,"`FilePath` incorrectly prohibits access to certain files, due to the crummy APIs it's using.

For example, you can actually have a file called ""CON"" on windows, and it is accessible by quoting the path in various ways (or by accessing it via native Windows APIs), but `FilePath` would currently consider that path a security violation, regardless of whether it actually exists.

Additionally, Windows paths may natively be unicode.  `FilePath` doesn't really pay attention to unicode vs str, so it may be broken with respect to non-ASCII(?) paths.  Even if it does work, it needs unit tests to demonstrate this and prevent regressions.
