Closes #54093 (at least the os error 123 in the comments of that
bug)/#54901 (although the diagnosis in that bug is totally wrong)
Used process monitor to work out what that issue was:

There's actually a '\n' after node_modules there so it's an invalid
directory. Add trim() to fix.
After adding that change locally, eslint loaded fine

Release Notes:

- Fixed bug where eslint didn't start on Windows
```
