This is a performance optimization.
Teach do_read_index() to call verify_hdr() using a thread
and allow SHA1 verification to run concurrently with the
parsing of index-entries and extensions.
For large index files, this cuts the startup time in half.

For regular debugging, it is pretty helpful when a debug assertion in a
running application triggers a window that offers to start the debugger.
However, when running the test suite, it is not so helpful, in
particular when the debug assertions are then suppressed anyway because
we disable the invalid parameter checking (via invalidcontinue.obj, see
the comment in config.mak.uname about that object for more information).
So let's simply disable that window in Debug Mode (it is already
disabled in Release Mode).

Teach add_index_entry_with_check() and has_dir_name()
to see if the path of the new item is greater than the
last path in the index array before attempting to search
for it.
This is a performance optimization.
During checkout, merge_working_tree() populates the new
index in sorted order, so this change saves at least 2
lookups per file.

The entire idea of generating the VS solution makes only sense if we
generate it via Continuous Integration; otherwise potential users would
still have to download the entire Git for Windows SDK.
So let's just add a target in the Makefile that can be used to generate
said solution; The generated files will then be committed so that they
can be pushed to a branch ready to check out by Visual Studio users.
To make things even more useful, we also generate and commit other files
that are required to run the test suite, such as templates and
bin-wrappers: with this, developers can run the test suite in a regular
Git Bash (that is part of a regular Git for Windows installation) after
building the solution in Visual Studio.

Visual Studio has this very neat feature that you can get dependencies in
the form of NuGet packages, and even further: you can specify in a project
what NuGet packages it needs. These dependencies can then be fetched via
right-clicking the solution in the Solution Explorer and clicking the
"Restore NuGet Packages" entry.
This feature is so neat, in fact, that we want to support it in Git for
Windows. The idea is that we will be able to provide developers with a
checkout of the Git sources that can be built outside of the Git for
Windows SDK, using *only* Visual Studio.

The .sln/.vcproj files were used to define projects up until Visual

Rather than swallowing the errors, it is better to have them in a file.
To make it obvious what this is about, use the file name
'msvc-build-makedryerrors.txt'.
Further, if the output is empty, simply delete that file. As we target
Git for Windows' SDK (which, unlike its predecessor msysGit, offers
Perl versions newer than 5.8), we can use the quite readable syntax
`if -f -z $ErrsFile` (available in Perl >=5.10).
Note that the file will contain the new values of the GIT_VERSION
and GITGUI_VERSION if they were generated by the make file. They
are omitted if the release is tagged and indentically defined in
their respective GIT_VERSION_GEN file DEF_VER variables.

Teach "add" to use preload-index and fscache features
to improve performance on very large repositories.
During an "add", a call is made to run_diff_files()
which calls check_remove() for each index-entry. This
calls lstat(). On Windows, the fscache code intercepts
the lstat() calls and builds a private cache using the
FindFirst/FindNext routines, which are much faster.
Somewhat independent of this, is the preload-index code
which distributes some of the start-up costs across
multiple threads.
We need to keep the call to read_cache() before parsing the
pathspecs (and hence cannot use the pathspecs to limit any preload)
because parse_pathspec() is using the index to determine whether a
pathspec is, in fact, in a submodule. If we would not read the index
first, parse_pathspec() would not error out on a path that is inside
a submodule, and t7400-submodule-basic.sh would fail with
not ok 47 - do not add files from a submodule
We still want the nice preload performance boost, though, so we simply
call read_cache_preload(&pathspecs) after parsing the pathspecs.

It is a real old anachronism from the Cogito days to have a

But so be it, let's continue testing it.
Let's make sure, however, that git init does not need to create that

The purpose of this function is to stat() the files listed in the index
in a multi-threaded fashion. It is called directly after reading the
index in the read_index_preloaded() function.
However, in some cases we may want to separate the index reading from
the preloading step, e.g. in builtin/add.c, where we need to load the
index before we parse the pathspecs (which needs to error out if one of
the pathspecs refers to a path within a submodule, for which the index
must have been read already), and only then will we want to preload,
possibly limited by the just-parsed pathspecs.
So let's just export that function to allow calling it separately.

Git's source code wants to be able to close() the same file descriptor
multiple times, ignoring the error returned by the second call (and the
ones after that), or to access the osfhandle of an already-closed stdout,
among other things that the UCRT does not like.
Simply linking invalidcontinue.obj allows such usage without resorting to
Debug Assertions (or exiting with exit code 9 in Release Mode).
