zola: Auto reload not working on windows

Bug Report

Environment

Zola version: 0.6.0 (windows/powershell)

Expected Behavior

Running zola serve and then making a change to a file will cause the server to reload the files without any problems on macos. Making the same change when running the same site on windows will cause the server to exit with an error.

Current Behavior

This exception is thrown:

Change detected @ 2019-03-29 11:07:54
thread 'main' panicked at 'internal error: entered unreachable code: Got a change in an unexpected path: C:\Users\Kenji\Projects\TestSite\content/_index.md', src\cmd\serve.rs:489:9
stack backtrace:

   7: <unknown>
   8: <unknown>
   9: onig_unicode_define_user_property
  10: BaseThreadInitThunk
  11: RtlUserThreadStart

(The mix of backslashes and forward slashes in the “unexpected path” looks really fishy to me)

Step to reproduce

Run zola serve on windows in the powershell. If you make any change to a file an exception will be thrown.

Update notifications seem to be working in next. It looks like the -b option was removed in next so I didn’t test that.

I’ll revert & publish this Saturday unless it is fixed, the Windows version has already been broken for too long

Dammit \ /

If anyone on Windows want to debug/fix that, it should be fairly easy, seems that the issue is really in cmd/serve.rs where the match is expecting paths with /. Not entirely sure how that issue slipped by though.
