SystemTools: Revert "Add Windows app exec alias support to FileExists"

Brad King requested to merge brad.king/kwsys:SystemTools-revert-FileExists-win-exe-alias into master

Revert !236 (merged) pending further investigation. It caused the same problem that we fixed previously in commit !175 (merged). The problem is that Windows has stubs like

%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps\python.exe

that exist on disk but do not actually work when executed.

See discussion in cmake/cmake#22743 (comment 1073421).
