Windows scripts do not delegate to MainGenericRunner

[bishabosha]

if we want a unified experience across platforms then the windows batch scripts should replicate the bash scripts for other platforms, i.e. delegate to the MainGenericRunner

i.e. see how https://github.com/lampepfl/dotty/blob/main/dist/bin/scala does minimal preprocessing of the arguments before delegating to the class dotty.tools.MainGenericRunner

@michelou I have assigned you since you made the original scripts, but feel free let us know if you do not want to.

@bishabosha I saw your changes to dist/bin/scala yesterday; I will update the batch file dist/bin/scala.bat.

@bishabosha With PR 15275 (backport to the 3.1.3 branch) this issue now affects both upcoming 3.1 and 3.2 releases.

@michelou do you have time to work on this? or would you like some help?

[michelou]

@bishabosha Work is in progress.
I have changes in the 4 batch files (common.bat, scala.bat, scalac.bat and scaladoc.bat).

Two remarks regarding the changes :

• batch files are now shorter (positive effect).
• changes are quite large, so more testing is needed.

Do you know what are the release deadlines for 3.1.3 and 3.2.0-RC1 ?
