Revert "Remove win32/nt checks for wrapper script gen"
This reverts commit 07de844615.
The output console_scripts generated after this commit landed are no
longer directly callable from windows machines. Prior to the this
reverts we wrapped console_script entrypoints in a .exe on windows so
you could directly execute them, just like on *nix systems. However,
after the commit we are no longer generating callables on windows.
Instead PBR generates a txt file, without a suffix, that is not a valid
executable on windows. It is exactly the same output as on a *nix
system, but this neglects that scripts with shebangs don't work on
windows. (For example generated output on windows see [1]) The exe files
were needed so that we could directly execute the console scripts on
windows. This commit restores this functionality so that PBR will
properly generate executable console_scripts on windows machines again.

Closes-Bug: #1761134

Introduction

PBR is a library that injects some useful and sensible default behaviors into your setuptools run. It started off life as the chunks of code that were copied between all of the OpenStack projects. Around the time that OpenStack hit 18 different projects each with at least 3 active branches, it seemed like a good time to make that code into a proper reusable library.

PBR is only mildly configurable. The basic idea is that there's a decent way to run things and if you do, you should reap the rewards, because then it's simple and repeatable. If you want to do things differently, cool! But you've already got the power of Python at your fingertips, so you don't really need PBR.

PBR builds on top of the work that d2to1 started to provide for declarative configuration. d2to1 is itself an implementation of the ideas behind distutils2. Although distutils2 is now abandoned in favor of work towards PEP 426 and Metadata 2.0, declarative config is still a great idea and specifically important in trying to distribute setup code as a library when that library itself will alter how the setup is processed. As Metadata 2.0 and other modern Python packaging PEPs come out, PBR aims to support them as quickly as possible.
