Windows: Fix spack.bat handling of env commands (#35143)

This PR enables the successful execution of the spack binary cache
tutorial on Windows. It assumes gnupg and file are available (they
can be installed with choco).

* Fix handling of args with quotes in spack.bat
* `file` utility can be installed on Windows (e.g. with choco): update
  error message accordingly
