patch_cmds_win doesn't recognize pwsh

[FantasqueX]

Description of the bug:

I'm using rules_boost

def boost_deps():
    maybe(
        http_archive,
        name = "boost",
        build_file = "@com_github_nelhage_rules_boost//:boost.BUILD",
        patch_cmds = ["rm -f doc/pdf/BUILD"],
        patch_cmds_win = ["Remove-Item -Force doc/pdf/BUILD"],
        patches = ["@com_github_nelhage_rules_boost//:zlib.patch"],
        patch_args = ["-p1"],
        url = "https://github.com/boostorg/boost/releases/download/boost-1.84.0/boost-1.84.0.tar.gz",
        sha256 = "4d27e9efed0f6f152dc28db6430b9d3dfb40c0345da7342eaa5a987dde57bd95",
        strip_prefix = "boost-1.84.0",
    )

Code above throws error.

The only powershell on my system is PowerShell 7.4.5 which only adds pwsh.exe to PATH instead of powershell.exe. And powershell.exe is not found in my PATH.
