rdmd on windows can't run files with "setup" or "install" in the name
Describe the bug windows has a helpful compatibility feature where having the words "setup" or "install" in an executable's name automatically causes it to require admin privileges to run
this affects rdmd because it names the compiled executable after the source file
D source files with those words in the name fail to run through rdmd with The requested operation requires elevation.
the trigger words are case-insensitive and there might be more of them
Platform OS: Windows 7 64-bit Compiler: DMD 2.098.0
To Reproduce in command prompt:
echo void main(){} > setup.drdmd setup.d
C:\Users\qemu\Desktop>rdmd setup.d
std.process.ProcessException@std\process.d(1360): Failed to spawn process "C:\Users\qemu\AppData\Local\Temp\.rdmd\rdmd-setup.d-8A16DDD3DC3B0E380C43708A28BDC4D0\setup.exe" (The requested operation requires elevation.)

one workaround to avoid the behavior is to set the __COMPAT_LAYER=RunAsInvoker environment variable, but that might be unacceptable for rdmd since it applies to subprocesses of the D program too. i don't know if there's a way to start just one child process with the setting
Is that a RDMD bug ? It's a Windows limitation, and rdmd correctly informs the user of the failure. I'm tempted to say that we should not try to be helpful here.
