Description
On Windows, for tools where the runner type is executable, we create a .cmd script shim that invokes the tool. The shim goes in the dotnet tools folder which is on the path.
Unfortunately, batch files like this will generate an extra `Terminate batch job (Y/N)` prompt when CTRL+C is pressed. We ran into this for `dnx` in #49623.
We should probably generate both a PowerShell and a .cmd shell shim script, so that for users of PowerShell, that script will be preferred and they won't get the extra termination prompt when CTRL+C is pressed.
The logic to create the script is in the `ShellShimRepository` class.
