Brock Hargreaves c90a363589 [rocm-libraries] ROCm/rocm-libraries#4812 (commit bb5a4dd)
[CK] Use as_posix() instead of str() for paths in
 fmha_fwd_appendkv.py (#4812)

## Motivation

This is causing a failing PR for Windows:

## Technical Details

The file:
[fmha_fwd_appendkv.py](https://github.com/ROCm/rocm-libraries/compare/users/brockhargreaves-amd/ck/fix-windows-cmake-path-problem?expand=1#diff-bef22bf9ba21eb93c725493ecc7edcb6f2a8f0a9a173dcfca6bda7a9f4eced78)
writes a bunch of paths to a text file which is later parsed by cmake.
When passing a pathlib.Path to str(), str() converts to a native path,
in this case / to \\ on Windows which confuses cmake. In this case we
need to write paths with forward slashes and then pass those onward to
cmake.

## Test Plan

1. Ensure this doesn't impact existing CI.
2. Ensure compilation of Windows pass locally.

## Test Result

1. Passes existing CI
2. This fixes the compilation error locally.

CK Tile Example Suite

This directory contains a comprehensive suite of examples demonstrating the CK Tile programming model for high-performance GPU kernels. Each example illustrates a key deep learning or HPC operation, implemented using tile-based parallelism, modular pipelines, and data movement policy.


What is CK Tile?

CK Tile is a composable GPU programming API that expresses kernels as a composition of "tiles"—rectangular blocks of computation and data movement. The pipeline & policy orchestrates data movement (global <-> LDS <-> registers), computation, and synchronization, enabling high efficiency and flexibility.
