[Feature] create shell shims even for .exe (WSL) #6483

Description

@quintesse

Right now any scoop applications that use .cmd or .ps1 files to start get a shell shim (without extension) so things work with Cygwin and WSL. That works great.

But for applications that use .exe files the experience is not the same using Cygwin vs WSL. Cygwin works just fine, if you want to run application foo it will use foo.exe just fine, but on WSL you have to type foo.exe explicitly which just isn't very nice in general and also breaks any cross-platform shell scripts that expect to be able to simply run foo.

Installing shell shims for .exe files would solve this issue.
