"_build:archives" task fails on Windows

[LeeDr]

Kibana version: master

Server OS version: Window 10

Description of the problem including expected versus actual behavior:
Can't build on Windows.

Steps to reproduce:

1. npm run build -- --skip-os-packages on Windows

Running "_build:archives" task

Still have issues with it on Windows even after the tar fix was merged.

Now it's saying this:

Running "_build:archives" task
 > tar -zchf C:\Users\ratonbox\Documents\GitHub\kibana\target\kibana-6.0.0-beta1-SNAPSHOT-darwin-x86_64.tar.gz kibana-6.0.0-beta1-SNAPSHOT-darwin-x86_64 --force-local

 > zip -rq -ll C:\Users\ratonbox\Documents\GitHub\kibana\target\kibana-6.0.0-beta1-SNAPSHOT-windows-x86_64.zip kibana-6.0.0-beta1-SNAPSHOT-windows-x86_64
Warning: spawn zip ENOENT Use --force to continue.

Aborted due to warnings.

And the archives that get created inside the target folder don't seem complete. ( the linux and darwin tar.gz)

This looks like a fix that could be done, but we need to test first if it would impact building on other OS.
