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.
