fix(code-server): use cmd.exe to launch code-server via PM2 on Windows

PowerShell's execution policy and process tracking make .ps1 + --interpreter
powershell.exe unreliable in PM2: the process exits immediately with no logs
(14 unstable restarts). Switch to .cmd wrapper launched via explicit
cmd.exe /d /s /c, which:
- Runs node synchronously (cmd.exe waits for node to exit)
- PM2 tracks cmd.exe and sees it as online while node runs
- Avoids any PowerShell execution policy issues
