`exec` not working in a Windows enviroment

[mrmckeb]

Current Behavior

On Windows, nx exec can't find the binary to execute. From what we can see in the error logs, Nx is trying to resolve binaries in the wrong folder (not inside of ./node_modules/.bin/).

This is not an issue on macOS or Ubuntu. We've only tested this with pnpm.

Here is an example CI run, where macOS and Ubuntu pass, and Windows fails: https://github.com/mrmckeb/nx-repro/actions/runs/5461420103/attempts/1

Description	Output
echo $PWD	D:\a\nx-repro\nx-repro
pnpm which prettier	D:\a\nx-repro\nx-repro\node_modules\.bin\prettier
Path Nx is trying to use	D:\a\nx-repro\prettier\bin-prettier.js

I've re-run the same jobs with GitHub's debug logs in case that helps: https://github.com/mrmckeb/nx-repro/actions/runs/5461420103/attempts/2

Expected Behavior

nx exec should behave the same on Windows as it does on other operating systems.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Set up a tax with nx exec -- [bin-name].
2. Run that task on Windows.
