Windows: Quote more batch file arguments
Make sure to always quote batch file arguments that contain command prompt special characters.
Additionally add `/d` command line parameter to disable any autorun scripts that may change the way variable expansion works. This makes it more consistent across systems and may help avoid surprises.
## Background Info
[`CreateProcess`](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/processthreadsapi/nf-processthreadsapi-createprocessw) with the `lpApplicationName` set can only be used to run `.exe` files and not script files such as `.bat`. However, for historical reasons, we do have special handling so that `.bat` files will be correctly run with `cmd.exe` as the application.
In Windows, command line arguments are passed as a single string (not an array). Applications can parse this string however they like but most follow the standard MSVC C/C++ convention. But `cmd.exe` uses different argument parsing rules to other Windows programs (because it emulates old DOS). This PR aims to help smooth over some of the differences.
