Cypress crashes when specifying -- --config after upgrading to 3.6.0

[jpierson]

Current behavior:

After upgrading to Cypress 3.6.0 from 3.3.1, the cypress test runner crashes when running open or running from CLI while also suppling the baseUrl configuration through the command line.

> cypress-test@1.0.0 cypress C:\projects\myproject\cypress
> cypress run "--config" "baseUrl=https://someurl.nonsense"

npm ERR! code ELIFECYCLE
npm ERR! errno 4294967295
npm ERR! cypress-test@1.0.0 cypress: `cypress run "--config" "baseUrl=https://someurl.nonsense"`
npm ERR! Exit status 4294967295
npm ERR!
npm ERR! Failed at the cypress-test@1.0.0 cypress script.
npm ERR! This is probably not a problem with npm. There is likely additional logging output above.

Desired behavior:

The tests should run or open the test runner with the specified configuration value as it had in the past.

Steps to reproduce: (app code and test code)

ex.

npm run cypress -- --config baseUrl=https://someurl.nonsense

or

npm run cypress:open -- --config baseUrl=https://someurl.nonsense

I'm experiencing the same behavior. I had to downgrade back to 3.4.1

@jpierson In your posted log, I see Exit status 4294967295 and that you are running on Windows. This is a duplicate of #5466

Downgrade to 3.4.1 as a workaround today.
