git-gui: override exec and open only on Windows

Since aae9560 (Work around Tcl's default `PATH` lookup,
2022-11-23), git-gui overrides exec and open on all platforms. But,
this was done in response to Tcl adding elements to $PATH on Windows,
while exec, open, and auto_execok honor $PATH as given on all other
platforms.

Let's do the override only on Windows, restoring others to using their
native exec and open. These honor the sanitized $PATH as that is written
out to env(PATH) in a previous commit. auto_execok is also safe on these
platforms, so can be used for _which.
