Get the PATH environment variable key cross-platform
It's usually PATH but on Windows it can be any casing like Path...
While process.env.PATH reads correctly on Windows regardless of casing, you need the exact key when:
- Passing environment to child processes
- Working with custom environment objects (where case-insensitivity doesn't apply)
- Using worker threads (where case-insensitivity doesn't work)
