Support emacsclient on Windows with server on GNU or Unix systems

* lisp/server.el (server-process-filter): If 'tty-name' is literally
"CONOUT$", assume the client runs on MS-Windows and force the
frame type to GUI.  This allows to run emacsclient on MS-Windows
when the server runs on a Posix host.  (Bug#65812)
