wls_opatch on windows causes warnings regarding path being too long (truncation)

[mrswadge]

The patches for weblogic on windows tend to have very long file paths when they are extracted. This is an issue when running opatch. The process ends with exit code 50.

We can change our tmp_dir to D:\ here, but on customer environments we may not have permission to do so. The extract needs to be long path name aware.
