It seems docker on Windows 10 doesn't handle mounting volumes the same way that docker does on Linux and MacOS. Investigating a way to better handle this scenario.

    Fix broken windows 10 remote cli

    Kubectl and helm commands didn't properly work under
    Windows 10 by using remote CLI.

    Changes included:
    - add winpty dependency for windows 10 to properly use
      interactive prompt commands
    - change Unix paths to full Windows paths to be passed
      to docker only if scripts are run under cygwin
    - add information to README file about the new dependency
