runtime(getscript): GLVS plugin fails with wget.exe with PowerShell

Problem: Only Windows: The GLVS plugin fails in a PowerShell Desktop if
wget.exe is installed. The PowerShell Desktop has an alias
called wget which hides wget.exe.
Solution: Force .exe extension if wget.exe is available.

closes: #18987
