    Rewrite boot in Python

    One step closer to being able to drop the Windows Perl tarball. We
    previously attempted to do this in D3567 but were forced to revert due
    to Windows problems.

    Acknowledgements:
     * @Phyx kindly contributed the codepath allowing this to work on
    Windows.

    Test Plan: Validate
