Bug #21227: Windows agent only runs when --onetime is specified
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/21227

----------------------------------------
In 2.7.x, you could run the windows agent as `puppet agent` or `puppet agent 
--no-onetime` and the agent would periodically retrieve and apply catalogs.

In 3.0.2, in commit 4d1a2f83d9 (#17361), the agent was modified to fork when 
not doing a onetime run. But this breaks Windows, because fork is not 
implemented. This was not detected earlier because the windows service always 
runs the agent with `--onetime`. There are also no acceptance tests around this 
behavior.
