Since lws f92e831dd (C-328) the Windows spawn honours env_array as the
child's entire environment, the way execve does. Before that it was
silently ignored and children inherited the builder's environment.
The builder hands every spawn its unix sanitizing set: a unix PATH,
LANG and TERM, and nothing else. A Windows child given only that has
no SystemRoot and none of the Visual Studio variables the service was
started with, so after updating, every build died in cmake with
"Running 'nmake' '-?' failed with: no such file or directory" and
CMAKE_C_COMPILER not set.
On Windows pass no env_array, so the child inherits ours as it always
effectively did.
