> the `ClientTransportPlugin meek ...` line that we append to torrc-

> everywhere for consistency.

New description:

 The Moat client implementation inside Tor Launcher uses Mozilla's
 Subprocess.jsm module to start the meek client. Mozilla's code requires
 that we pass in a full path to the program that is to be executed, but the
 `ClientTransportPlugin meek ...` line that we append to torrc-defaults
 does not include the `.exe` suffix for `terminateprocess-buffer` or other
 Windows executable files. We should add the suffixes everywhere for
 consistency.
