and by "too long" i mean wider than the nerdtree window

when the user was prompted to choose a tree to mirror, it would mirror
the wrong one

this is mainly because users shouldnt be encouraged to use j/k, but
rather they should use the shortcuts... this is faster and stops the
menu from being re-rendered so often (which looks shithouse since he
screen is being ":redraw!"n)

There was an error in the function which prevented Windows paths
from being properly decoded.  This error was causing the ".. (up a dir)"
feature to fail due to an unhandled Invalid Argument exception.

remove the old "OS" format option and introduce "UI" (which is the old
default)

patch from Bryan Venteicher

now we have a slight flicker on console vim, but the rendering engine is
more robust in general and should work across different OSs/versions of
vim

now everything uses the equivalent of Path#str(0)
