Windows support for admin CLI tools

[nicoloboschi]

Currently for Windows users there's no easy way to run Pulsar CLI tools such as pulsar-admin, pulsar-shell, and so on.

The goal would be to give the possibility to a Windows user to download the Pulsar tarball and administrate a remote Pulsar cluster from their own Windows machine.

Since the Pulsar Admin is a java application, the only implementation needed would be to:

• Create a .cmd file for pulsar-admin (bin/pulsar-admin.cmd)
• Replicate the same logic from the bash files (actually bin/pulsar-admin-common.sh)

This will become more useful starting from Pulsar 2.11 which will contains the Pulsar Shell artifact.

I wonder if Powershell (.ps1 extension) would be an option?

For those interested the shell scripts are here: https://github.com/apache/pulsar/tree/master/bin
