Windows: Improve handling of shebang in external special remote program, searching for the program in the PATH.

Browse source 
findShellCommand needs a full path to a file in order to check it for a
shebang on Windows. It was being run with only the base name of the external
special remote program, which would only work when it was in the current
directory.

This is why users in
https://github.com/DanielDent/git-annex-remote-rclone/pull/10 and elsewhere
were complaining that the previous improvements to git-annex didn't make
git-remote-rclone work on Windows.

Also, reworked checkearlytermination, which while it worked, seemed
to rely on a race condition. And, improved its error messages.

Looking into it a bit more, the problem seems to be that findShellCommand
expects a path to a file to examine, but when it's used for an external
special remote, it's only given the name of the command.
So, I fixed it by searching for the command in the PATH.
I have still not tested if this works on Windows, but probably, I think.
As long as PATH is set on Windows at least.
