feat(pathDecoder): add support for legacy Windows-style encoded paths

- Enhanced the decodePath and isValidEncodedPath functions to handle legacy Windows format, allowing paths like "C--Users-name-project" to be correctly decoded and validated.
- Updated tests to cover the new legacy format, ensuring proper functionality and validation.

This commit improves compatibility with legacy path formats, enhancing the utility of the path decoder.
