mingw: do not special-case .exe files anymore

Since baaf233 (connect: improve check for plink to reduce false
positives, 2015-04-26), t5601 writes out a `plink.exe` for testing that
is actually a shell script. So the assumption that the `.exe` extension
implies that the file is *not* a shell script is now wrong.

The original idea to special-case `.exe` files was probably to
help performance, but since we are in a code path that involves spawning
a new process (which in and of itself is pretty slow on Windows anyway),
we pursue a better idea to improve performance elsewhere: we try to
convert scripts into builtins and to reduce the number of spawned
processes by adding more internal API calls.
