wolfram-run-script does not respect wolfram-program

[ymei]

wolfram-run-script does not respect the user-set value in wolfram-program. And there are a few warnings concerning unescaped symbols. I'd like to offer the following patch:

It seems that wolfram-program is not a universal name for all platforms. I wonder if there is a WolframKernel in your system?

[ymei]

By default, Mathematica 11.3 installs /usr/local/bin/WolframKernel on linux and /Applications/Mathematica.app/Contents/MacOS/WolframKernel on macOS

[kenkangxgwe]

Then, what about using WolframKernel instead?

[ymei]

wolfram-program is a customizable variable. Users may change its value as they wish. My patch refers to using this variable for both wolfram-run-script and run-wolfram. Which value wolfram-program is set to (by default) is a separate issue. If you are suggesting to set wolfram-program to WolframKernel by default, I am fine with it. The proposed changes in the patch remain though.

I want to know how to set up in the windows system?
