Launching of processes on Windows using `ProcessCreateW` with a Unicode character set requires the buffer to be writable. An access violation might occur if `ProcessCreateW` writes to the command line string. The current implementation fetches the command line string using JNI GetStringChars returning a buffer that should not be modified. The code is unchanged since 2015. There have not been any reported faults in that time.
This change copies the command line to a separately allocation mutable buffer to satisfy the Windows requirement.
