Use short filenames in Windows startup scripts

On Windows, cmd.exe and batch scripts do not support Uniode apparently.
However, Windows uses UTF-16 to encode filenames one disk. In batch
scripts, filenames are converted to some one-byte-wide charset. Once
passed to Erlang and RabbitMQ, those filenames are incorrect. In
particular, the management UI is unhappy because filenames obviously
contain invalid UTF-8 characters.

Using short filenames makes sure filename only contain US-ASCII
characters.

To convert them, we use "for" expansion. At the same time, filenames are
made absolute. It works even better than realpath.exe because the latter
also converts filenames to another charset again.

Fixe #493.
