Added an option that creates a symbolic link, for systems without 8.3 support and simplified the method to get the 8.3 name as a fallback.

See #12107 for details.

It's perhaps a bit wordy, but I figured I'd put all my thoughts down in the interest of completeness. 🤷‍♂️

It can be pared down if desired.

IMO, just nixing the 8.3 method altogether is probably ideal, but it's there and enhanced if it is preferred that it remain.

My thinking on replacing this command, specifically, was that the proposed command works no matter where it is installed, including non-standard paths. This only covers the case of it being installed in C:\Program Files, specifically. 🤷‍♂️
