Matthias KurzandClaude Opus 5.5 121bab88bb [2.x] fix: Forward -J options to sbt server (#9839)
**Problem**
The native thin client discards -J JVM options before it starts the
server, so sbt -J-Xmx2G starts the server with the runner's default
1 GB heap. sbt.bat does not handle -J on the command line: it passes
the option to sbt as a command, which exits with "Not a valid
command". Its default memory check also misses heap options given on
the command line or as -XX:MaxRAM and RAM percentages, so the
appended -Xmx1024m overrides them.

**Solution**
sbtn passes -J options to the server script, and strips -J when it
starts the launcher JAR through java. A -J split out of a quoted
command stays in that command, and a bare -J is dropped. sbt.bat
strips -J, adds the option to the JVM options, rejoins -J-D and -J-XX
values that cmd.exe splits at '=', and passes -J options on to sbtn.
Its default memory check ignores quotes and checks the same options
as the Unix runner.
