Description of the problem / feature request:

sh_test rules (and probably others) do not work on Windows when using remote execution, due to a missing runfiles manifest file.

Bugs: what's the simplest, easiest way to reproduce this bug? Please provide a minimal example if possible.

On a Windows Server 2016 VM with Bazel 0.11.1 installed:

1. Build and run Local Remote Worker:

$ cd $home
$ git clone https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel.git
$ cd bazel
$ bazel build //src/tools/remote:worker
$ bazel-out/x64_windows-fastbuild/bin/src/tools/remote/worker.exe --listen_port=8080 --work_path=C:\tmp\lre --debug

2. Create a Bazel directory with a simple shell test:

$ cd $home
$ mkdir bazel_test
$ cd bazel_test

Copy these files to there:
BUILD: https://gist.github.com/jasharpe/4566c496b222eaf45771ee815b1544e7
.bazelrc: https://gist.github.com/jasharpe/9edadeee13396b0efdddd6d21faeae3a
pass.sh: https://gist.github.com/jasharpe/70df48ca39a799825cc03099e9083086

3. Demonstrate that it works locally:

$ cd $home\bazel_test
$ bazel --bazelrc=.bazelrc test --test_output=all :pass_test

4. Demonstrate that it does not work remotely:

$ cd $home\bazel_test
$ bazel --bazelrc=.bazelrc test --test_output=all --config=remote :pass_test

The error printed is something like:

grep: /c/tmp/lre/build-e5526681-466d-4e6b-b5a4-a774ea7e3238/bazel-out/x64_windows-fastbuild/bin/pass_test.exe.runfiles/MANIFEST: No such file or directory
external/bazel_tools/tools/test/test-setup.sh: line 230: : command not found

Indeed if you check this directory, it does not contain a file called MANIFEST:

 ls C:\tmp\lre\build-e5526681-466d-4e6b-b5a4-a774ea7e3238\bazel-out\x64_windows-fastbuild\bin\pass_test.exe.runfiles\

What operating system are you running Bazel on?

Windows Server 2016 (1709)

What's the output of bazel info release?

release 0.11.1

If bazel info release returns "development version" or "(@non-git)", tell us how you built Bazel.

N/A

What's the output of git remote get-url origin ; git rev-parse master ; git rev-parse HEAD ?

N/A

Have you found anything relevant by searching the web?

Closest thing seems #1593 and #2296 but I'm not sure it's the same problem, and both were closed a while ago.

Any other information, logs, or outputs that you want to share?
