fix: handle Windows UNC paths correctly (#1360)

This PR fixes the underlying issue of
eclipse-wildwebdeveloper/wildwebdeveloper#162

When one tries to open a language server supported file on an Windows
UNC Path. Currently the moment one tries to open the file the UI pops-up
error dialogs in loops making it even hard to close the file again.
