bug#37608: Patch for support in emacsclient for command-lline options in ALTERNATE_EDITOR breaks quoted paths on Windows

[Wilson Pete]

The patch for bug #25082 appears to have broken quoted paths being passed to 
emacsclientw on Windows.

w32_execvp doesn’t handle this because it doesn’t quote the path argument to 
execvp (ultimately to CreateProcess?).

So the patch prevents any possibility of passing a path with spaces as the 
alternate editor on Windows.

It would have been nice (perhaps) if this had been made a new different command 
line switch.
