Description

SOLR-11084 introduced some help text that was not properly escaped in Windows batch file (solr.cmd), cause an - easy to miss - error message and truncated help information for the bin\solr start -help command (anything after -t option).

The fix is to either quote the whole line (done in other part of the file) or quote the specific (less than and more than) characters, which for the echo command is done with the ^ character, just as it is used a couple of lines lower in the same file.
