fix: prevent local absolute paths from being treated as remote URLs (#2397)

Add filepath.IsAbs guard to IsRemote and Parse to prevent Windows drive
letter paths (e.g., C:\path) from being misinterpreted as remote URLs
by go-getter's url.Parse, which prepends file:// to drive letter paths.

Fixes #2384
