The realPath() implementation on Windows works only for files and
not for directories. By using an API available starting from Vista
it is possible to fix it in a simple way.
I also took into account using the Qt QFileInfo::canonicalFilePath(),
but it turns out to not work when a path component is a junction
(tested with Qt 5.14.1).
Due to this, it is not possible compiling or using LyX on Windows
versions earlier than Vista.
In case of path names for external files containing symbolic links the real path
and the logical path name may be different for the same file or directory.
LyX is using QDir::tempPath() to create the path name of the temporary directory.
The Qt implementation is free to return the logical or the real path name here and
it happens to be different for various platforms and versions.
The most stable and clean solution is to use the real path name consistently.
As the xcb_send_event man page [1] states,
In order to properly initialize these bytes, we allocate 32 bytes
even though we only need less for an xcb_configure_notify_event_t
This commit fixes the following Valgrind error, which could be
triggered by selecting a letter in LyX:

Three backslashes are needed before a LaTeX command, not one. Before
this commit, the code gave the following error with Python >= 3.6:
re.error: bad escape \g at position 29
This error was introduced with Python 3.6, as documented [1] by the
following line of documentation:
Changed in version 3.6: Unknown escapes in pattern consisting of
'\' and an ASCII letter now are errors.
Although previous Python versions did not give an error, the regular
expression was not working as intended: for example, the "\\n" in
"\\newcommandx" would be interpreted as a new line.
