[Windows] Replace aqua-proxy and symbolic links to small BAT files

[suzuki-shunsuke]

Feature Overview

On Windows, create smal BAT files instead of installing aqua-proxy and create symbolic links.

Why is the feature needed?

Please explain the problem you want to solve.

On Windows, there are two problems regarding symbolic links.

1. To create symbolic links, you have to run Terminal (cmd.exe, PowerShell, Git Bash, etc) as Administrator or enable Developer Mode
2. PowerShell has a bug about symbolic link PowerShell doesn't use the final target of a symbolic link when starting a process or running a native command on Windows PowerShell/PowerShell#16171

Does the feature include Breaking Changes?

No.

Example Code

command and configuration

Command and configuration aren't changed.

aqua creates the following files on bin directory.

AQUA_ROOT_DIR/bin/gh # cli/cli

@echo off
aqua exec -- gh %*

This is basically same as aqua-proxy.

• [Windows] Cannot execute symlinks for installed tools under $AQUA_ROOT_DIR/bin #885 (comment)

[suzuki-shunsuke]

aqua creates executable BAT files and shell scripts in directories AQUA_ROOT_DIR/bin and AQUA_ROOT_DIR/bat instead of symbolic links.

If you use PowerShell or Command Prompt, please add AQUA_ROOT_DIR/bat to the environment variable PATH.
Or if you use Git Bash, please add AQUA_ROOT_DIR/bin to the environment variable PATH.
