bug#21323: start-process rejects .com executables

I found this bug on windows ver 24.5.1. If you try to run a .com file:

(start-process "X" "Y" "c:/Windows/System32/tree.com")

You get: "Spawning child process: exec format error"

The cryptic error appears to be a result of the .com extension. IIRC
it worked in 23.x so this problem is a regression.
