Initial idea to fix #3066 - sort tool exe names by "platform affinity"; using executable extension to identify Windows specific tools.
Specifically, tool exe names ending with
bat
,cmd
orexe
extensions are assumed to be Windows tools. If the detected runtime platform is also Windows then such tools will be prioritized, otherwise they will be deprioritized. In both cases their relative order will be preserved.With this fix, tool authors won't have to deal with environmental specific hacks like MihaMarkic/Cake.Docker#84.
