os/exec: on Windows, suppress ErrDot if the implicit path matches the explicit one

If the current directory is also listed explicitly in %PATH%,
this changes the behavior of LookPath to prefer the explicit name for it
(and thereby avoid ErrDot).

However, in order to avoid running a different executable from what
would have been run by previous Go versions, we still return the
implicit path (and ErrDot) if it refers to a different file entirely.

Fixes #53536.
Updates #43724.
