Fix `--run_under` Windows escaping bug

Fixes #10993.

The argument escaping that happens in [line 517](https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/blob/master/src/main/java/com/google/devtools/build/lib/runtime/commands/RunCommand.java#L516) violates the invariant assumed by [`AsWindowsPath()`](https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/blob/master/src/main/cpp/util/path_windows.cc#L245) on the client, which is called when ensuring that the binary path is absolute ([`AsAbsoluteWindowsPathImpl`](https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/blob/master/src/main/cpp/util/path_windows.cc#L323)).

`AsWindowsPathImpl` clearly assumes that the passed string is not quoted (i.e. it is either empty, `/` or contains a drive letter: `C:\`, etc.)

PR verification: Follow the steps outlined in the repro case for #10993, but use `--run_under=":;"` which is a valid prefix for a windows binary run from within bash (the original repro case used --run_under=cmd, which is not a valid way to execuate a binary if I understand `cmd`'s cryptic error message correctly).

Testing: The PR is missing a test case - any pointers as to how to add a unit test for this bug would be much appreciated.

Closes #11537.
