fix: finish cross-platform test parity while keeping POSIX deployment semantics

- cutover readState: enforce 0600 mode bits only on POSIX (Windows ACLs
  govern access; chmod is a no-op there)
- backup activation: skip the read-only-handle fsync on win32; the staged
  rename-over-open-WAL tests keep running on the POSIX deployment targets
- test-fixtures: normalize fixture paths to POSIX separators before
  comparing with manifest entries
