ddidderr 4d7ad7cdba fix-deviant(termio): resolve bare program names on PATH on Windows
Intentional deviation from Ghostty 1.3.1 (DEVIANT_FIXES.md row 39).
Zig's Command.startWindows (Command.zig:261,347-358) passes the command
path as CreateProcessW's lpApplicationName, which is taken literally:
a partial name is completed with the current directory only, never the
search path. A bare `cmd.exe` (e.g. `command = direct:cmd.exe` or
`-e cmd.exe`) therefore fails to start in Ghostty on Windows.

A bare program name (no drive or separator) is now looked up on PATH,
appending .exe when there is no extension as CreateProcess does;
anything else or a failed lookup is passed through unchanged. Verified
under Wine by the exec_windows ConPTY tests.

Test Plan:
- cargo test -p ghostty-termio resolve_application_searches_path_for_bare_names
- just test-windows-wine
