[rush] Latest Node LTS security patch for spawnSync breaks rush on Windows

[ben-polinsky]

Summary

While running a build in CI, noticed rush failed on install/check. After debugging we see that spawnSync returns a status of EINVAL or invalid argument. That led us to https://nodejs.org/en/blog/release/v20.12.2. After downgrading to node v20.12.1, rush works as intended. This is also the case for node v18 LTS as it received the same patch. This can be reproduced locally on a windows machine.

Repro steps

(I don't have a windows box handy, so this is an estimate)

• On windows machine create a rush project using node v20.12.2.
• Setup a project with some dependencies.
• Attempt to install dependencies through rush with install-run-rush.js script.
