child_process, win: fix shell spawn with AutoRun

Under Windows system can be configured to execute a specific command
each time a shell is spawned. Under some conditions this breaks the
way node handles shell scripts under windows.
This commit adds /d switch to spawn and spawnSync which disables this
AutoRun functionality.

Fixes: nodejs/node-v0.x-archive#25458
