[JENKINS-34454] Add support for Docker-Toolbox/Windows

Make dockerized pipelines executable when running Jenkins on a Windows platform (e.g. for testing purposes when no Unix box is at hand).

When running Docker-Toolbox on Windows, the "docker" command is available, but the plugin fails to invoke it because it uses the pipeline "sh" command (see https://github.com/jenkinsci/pipeline-plugin/blob/master/TUTORIAL.md#modifying-for-windows-variations)
