Several boilerplate batch files include a provision to prepend
"depot_tools" to PATH prior to running those tools. This undermines
the utility of PATH overrides, since these tools specifically force their
"depot_tools" sub-paths to be used regardless of environment.
The origin of this behavior is likely limited to a specific fix for a
specific problem, but was then perpetuated by the copy/paste of
boilerplate bootstrap code as more bootstraps were added.
This is important in upcoming configurations, where core tools such as
Python and Git will be overridden via PATH on the bots.
Cygwin users who depended on this behavior should just add "depot_tools"
to their PATH in the appropriate location (i.e. in their .bashrc).

Reason for revert:
This CL over-aggressively removed the Windows bootstrap code used by /gclient.bat, which in turn downloads/installs the Windows toolchain, including Python. Labs can no longer provision Windows bots because of this.
update_depot_tools.bat did more than initialize the virtualenv. It also downloaded and installed Python, Git, and Subversion on Windows systems.
I'm reverting to restore the toolchain so we can create new Windows bots.
