 Follow-up fix to 3e2a4eefbed7002437c3f (re #11109)

 Using `:` as sed-`s`-expr separator is not a good idea on windows, as
 this can result in an expression like

    's:@INSTALL@:$(subst ../install-sh,E:/msys64/home/foo/ghc/install-
 sh,@INSTALL@):g'

 (note the `E:/` drive component)

 Using `|` instead of `:` has less risk of collision with the substitution
 expression
