Subject: [PATCH] fix(run-multiple): keep test patterns globbable when --config
 is passed

With --config, run-multiple resolved config.tests and gherkin.features
with path.resolve. On Windows this produced backslash paths, which glob
treats as escapes, so no feature files were found. An array of patterns
made path.resolve throw a TypeError on every platform.

Resolve each pattern separately and use forward slashes.

Fixes #5358
