Fix asset manifest path normalization to prevent double prefixing (#224)

* Fix asset manifest path normalization to prevent double prefixing

This fixes an issue where paths in the asset manifest could be doubly
normalized, leading to values like "app:app:templates/file.html". The fix:

1. Updated normalize_path to skip normalization on paths that already have
   a prefix (pkg:, app:, ext:)
2. Removed redundant normalization in save_asset_manifest since paths from
   generate_asset_manifest are already normalized

* Refactor path prefix handling using an Enum

* move

* edit
