```
util: Fix shell kind in windows based on program path (#39696)

Closes #39614

The `ShellKind` struct is built on Windows' side, meaning that when
connecting to remotes, we fall back to PowerShell construction, even if
the shell program we are spawning is a unix program.

This broke tasks creation since we are using the shell kind to construct
args:

In normal terminals this only affected activation scripts (only place
where shell kind is used)

I don't have a Windows machine to test it, so I would appreciate any
help with testing!

Release Notes:

- Fixed an issue where tasks could not be executed in Windows WSL
