py/mkrules: Fix pipe command failure on windows.

GeorgeCGV · GeorgeCGV · commit c0c8542e255e · 2022-09-28T21:17:49.000+02:00
Piped commands fail when forward slash is used with
executable. For example: `echo a | C:/gcc/bin/gcc.exe`
fails with the following error:

'C:' is not recognized as an internal or external
command, operable program or batch file.

Converting path to backslash avoids the error.
