fix: use proper quoting for exe paths and args on Windows (#50016)
Previously, GetProtocolLaunchPath and FormatCommandLineString in
browser_win.cc used naive quoting which could break when paths or
arguments contained backslashes, spaces, or embedded quotes.

Fix by extracting the CommandLineToArgvW-compatible quoting logic from
relauncher_win.cc into a shared utility and use it in both browser_win.cc
and relauncher_win.cc to properly quote the exe path and each argument
individually.
