Support workingDir init on Windows

Previously, we used --shell-image (typically distroless/base) to invoke
`mkdir -p <dirs>` to initialize any working dirs that were needed by
steps in a TaskRun.

This isn't portable to Windows, since distroless/base doesn't provide
Windows images, and since invoking `mkdir -p` won't work on Windows.

Instead, with this change, we init working dirs using a very simple Go
binary that can be cross-compiled to run on both OSes.
