GdbController cannot recognize window short path of gdb executable

[Hoohaha]

Describe the bug
When gdb executable is short format like this:
C:/PROGRA~2/GNUARM~1/102021~1.10/bin/AR470E~1.EXE

Full path: "C:\PROGRA2\GNUARM1\102021~1.10\bin\arm-none-eabi-gdb.exe"

Then the consrtuctor will raise error: gdb executable could not be resolved from

Checked the code, function distutils.spawn.find_executable() will return None for C:/PROGRA~2/GNUARM~1/102021~1.10/bin/AR470E~1.EXE

To Reproduce

gdb = GdbController(`C:/PROGRA~2/GNUARM~1/102021~1.10/bin/AR470E~1.EXE`)

I'm not a Windows user so I'm not sure if I can help. From a quick search on Google I didn't find any way to convert paths like that with pre-installed Python modules.
Is there any chance you could help fixing this please?

What happens if you try shutil.which instead of distutils.spawn.find_executable (which is deprecated)? Same problem?
If yes, maybe this is a Python bug not a pygdbmi one.
