pythonGH-125069: Fix inconsistent joining in `WindowsPath(PosixPath(.…

…..))` (python#125156)

`PurePath.__init__()` incorrectly uses the `_raw_paths` of a given
`PurePath` object with a different flavour, even though the procedure to
join path segments can differ between flavours.

This change makes the `_raw_paths`-enabled deferred joining apply _only_
when the path flavours match.
