On windows added cmd and bat when checking command

Besides checking for .exe files we now check for .cmd and .bat files as
reported on lite-xl/lite-xl-lsp#62 This commit also:

* Uses new system.setenv to add /usr/local/bin to path if missing on
  MacOS
* When logging using utils check if log file was successfully opened
  before trying to write into it.
* If value returned by os.getenv is nil set result to empty string
