find_program: Explicitly skip WindowsApps/python*.exe app installer links

Windows provide a "python" executable like this:

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

It is actually a Windows app exec link.  If it points to an app
installer, avoid mistaking it for a working Python.
