find_program: Ignore programs in the WindowsApps directory
The latest Windows 10 release in May 2019 added zero-sized files that
act as stubs which when launched from cmd.exe spawn the Windows Store
to install those apps. This also includes python.exe and python3.exe:
https://devblogs.microsoft.com/python/python-in-the-windows-10-may-2019-update/
Unfortunately, `import('python').find_installation('python3')` will
then think that python3.exe is available on Windows. Or, worse, if the
user has a fresh installation of Windows 10 and then installs the
Python 3 using the official installer (not the Windows Store app), we
will *still* pickup this stub because it will be first in `PATH`.
Always remove the WindowsApps directory from `PATH` while searching.
