```
spawnWindows: Fix PATH searching when cwd is absolute

Fixes a regression caused by https://github.com/ziglang/zig/pull/13983

From the added comment:

We still search the path if the cwd is absolute because of the
"cwd set in ChildProcess is in effect when choosing the executable path
to match posix semantics" behavior--we don't want to skip searching
the PATH just because we were trying to set the cwd of the child process.

```
