win32: use built-in shell for popen, if possible
popen uses the shell to run the command provided. If BusyBox has
been configured appropriately use the built-in shell for this.
- Currently the only user of popen in busybox-w32 is awk, which
uses it when piping to or from commands.
- If the command is available as an applet the shell will use it.
If a different version of the program is required the command
will need to specify the full path.
- This change means that popen will work even if no shell is
present on the path.
- Since the binary may have been run as sh.exe or awk.exe it's
necessary to use the magic --busybox option.
