If the input file was a network path then the raw path returned by GetFinalPathByHandle may return a UNC path. If so, and if the original path wasn't a UNC path, and the original path doesn't need normalization, we want to use the original path.

Backport of #110033 to release/9.0-staging
/cc @agocke
Customer Impact
This change causes apps which are launched from network shares ("UNC paths" aka \server-name) to have their location shown as extended UNC paths ("\?\UNC\server-name"). This is a regression both because the paths are different from what they were before, but also because some APIs will not accept UNC server paths. This manifests as a breaking change in .NET 9.
Regression
Regression from .NET 8 to .NET 9.
Testing
Tested manually. Unfortunately we do not have a way to test network shares in our CI system.
Risk
Low risk. The change is targeted to one API and only to paths which have extended UNC paths.
