Windows: Repository mismatch with mounted network drives

[dominiquekwiek]

I am experiencing the same issue reported in #957 where my mounted network drive is causing a location mismatch error when using Rez on Windows.

Repro:

from rez.resolved_context import ResolvedContext
any(p.is_local for p in ResolvedContext.get_current().resolved_packages)

Error:

It seems the fix for this to use canonical_path proposed in https://github.com/AcademySoftwareFoundation/rez/pull/957/files was rolled back in 72d3771. Is there any workaround I can use for this?
