path_real() fails with ENOENT on a path that does not exist on Windows 11 with R 4.2.1

On Windows 11 with R 4.2.1, I get an ENOENT error for a path that does not exist when calling path_real() while the documentation says "the files in question do not need to exist on the filesystem".

fs::path_real("no_path_here")
#> Error: [ENOENT] Failed to realize 'no_path_here': no such file or directory

This is related to #296 and r-lib/devtools#2467

FYI, I tried to update libuv to the current version to see if that fixed the issue. I hit a wall with my C++ troubleshooting skills, but I added #390 to hopefully help in testing that path.
