Backport 54644:
SF #1685563, MSVCCompiler creates redundant and long PATH strings If MSVCCompiler.initialize() was called multiple times, the path would get duplicated. On Windows, this is a problem because the path is limited to 4k. There's no benefit in adding a path multiple times, so prevent that from occuring. We also normalize the path before checking for duplicates so things like /a and /a/ won't both be stored.
