fix: detect WSL remote for shell PATH resolution (#9934)

Browse Source 
When Windows host connects to WSL remote, getEnvPathFromUserShell() was
returning undefined because it checked only process.platform === "win32".

Add remoteName parameter to getEnvPathFromUserShell() and use the
isWindowsHostWithWslRemote pattern (consistent with resolveCommandForPlatform)
to allow shell PATH detection for WSL remotes.

Fixes #9737
