Add a boot variable to Windows scripts

Add missing -boot_var argument to Windows scripts when starting erlang.

Use different boot variables on Windows vs non-Windows.

The built-in $ROOT boot variable points to the erts directory on Windows
(dictated by erl.ini [erlang] Rootdir=) and so a boot variable $RELEASE_DIR
is made pointing to the release directory
