Running sketches in WSL fails because of Windows paths #19

Description

@SableRaf

I’m trying to run Processing sketches from VS Code while using WSL (on Windows 10) as my default terminal profile. The extension currently builds a command like this:

"C:\path\to\processing\app\Processing.exe" cli --sketch="C:\path\to\extension\processing-sketch-123456\Array" --run 2>&1

But since WSL runs it inside Bash, I just get:

-bash: syntax error near unexpected token `&'

When switching back to PowerShell as the default terminal, it works fine.

Would it be possible for the extension to detect when it’s running in WSL and adjust the command/paths accordingly? If not, maybe a note in the README would help users who hit this.
