strbuf_readlink() refuses to read link targets that exceed PATH_MAX (even
if a sufficient size was specified by the caller).
As some platforms support longer paths, remove this restriction (similar
to strbuf_getcwd()).

strbuf_readlink() calls readlink() twice if the hint argument specifies the
exact size of the link target (e.g. by passing stat.st_size as returned by
lstat()). This is necessary because 'readlink(..., hint) == hint' could
mean that the buffer was too small.
Use hint + 1 as buffer size to prevent this.

Adjust the commit message with the following paragraph:
The most prominent user of `git_terminal_prompt()` is certainly
`git-remote-https.exe`. It is an interesting use case because both
`stdin` and `stdout` are redirected when Git calls said executable, yet
it still wants to access the terminal.
When running inside a `mintty`, the terminal is not accessible to the
`git-remote-https.exe` program, though, because it is a MinGW program
and the `mintty` terminal is not backed by a Win32 console.
To solve that problem, we simply call out to the shell -- which is an
*MSys2* program and can therefore access `/dev/tty`.
This branch wants to be merged into the git-wrapper branch; it fixes an
issue with the way we called the MSys2 terminal `mintty` from the GUI
application `git-bash.exe`.

With a recent change in Cygwin (which is the basis of the msys2-runtime),
a GUI process desiring to launch an MSys2 executable needs to allocate a
console for the new process (otherwise the process will just hang on
Windows XP). _Git Bash_ is such a GUI process.
While at it, use correct handles when inheriting the stdin/stdout/stderr
handles: `GetStdHandle()` returns NULL for invalid handles, but the
STARTUPINFO must specify `INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE` instead.
Originally, the hope was that only this `NULL` => `INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE`
conversion would be required to fix the Windows XP issue mentioned above
(extensive debugging revealed that starting _Git Bash_ on Windows XP would
yield invalid handles for `stdin` and `stderr`, but *not* for `stdout`).
However, while _Git Bash_ eventually showed a `mintty` when not allocating
a new console, it took around one second to show it, and several seconds
to close it. So let's just include both fixes.

With the resource-driven command-line configuration, we introduced the
option to ensure that only the PATH environment variable is edited only
minimally, i.e. only /cmd/ is added (as appropriate for _Git CMD_).
We are about to add another option, so let's refactor the equivalent of
Git's `strip_prefix()` function; It is not *quite* the same because we
have to `memmove()` the remainder to the beginning of the buffer.

A typical setup under Windows is to set core.eol to CRLF, and text
files are marked as "text" in .gitattributes, or core.autocrlf is
set to true.
After 4d4813a5 "git blame" no longer works as expected for such a
set-up. Every line is annotated as "Not Committed Yet", even though
the working directory is clean. This is because the commit removed
the conversion in blame.c for all files, with or without CRLF in the
repo.
Having files with CRLF in the repo and core.autocrlf=input is a
temporary situation, and the files, if committed as is, will be
normalized in the repo, which _will_ be a notable change. Blaming
them with "Not Committed Yet" is the right result. Revert commit
4d4813a5 which was a misguided attempt to "solve" a non-problem.
Add two test cases in t8003 to verify the correct CRLF conversion.

Use msysGit's `git-wrapper` instead of the builtins. This works around
two issues:
- when the file system does not allow hard links, we would waste over
800 megabyte by having 109 copies of a multi-megabyte executable
- even when the file system allows hard links, the Windows Explorer
counts the disk usage as if it did not. Many users complained about
Git for Windows using too much space (when it actually did not). We
can easily avoid those user complaints by merging this branch.

Between the libgit2 and the Git for Windows project, there has been a
discussion how we could share Git configuration to avoid duplication (or
worse: skew).
Earlier, libgit2 was nice enough to just re-use Git for Windows'
C:\Program Files (x86)\Git\etc\gitconfig
but with the upcoming Git for Windows 2.x, there would be more paths to
search, as we will have 64-bit and 32-bit versions, and the
corresponding config files will be in %PROGRAMFILES%\Git\mingw64\etc and
...\mingw32\etc, respectively.
Therefore we came to a consensus to use %PROGRAMDATA%\Git as the
location for Git-specific files that are of wider interest than just Git
for Windows.
On XP, there is no %PROGRAMDATA%, therefore we need to use
"%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Application Data\Git\config" in those setups.

For performance reasons `stdout` is not unbuffered by default. That leads
to problems if after printing to `stdout` a read on `stdin` is performed.
For that reason interactive commands like `git clean -i` do not function
properly anymore if the `stdout` is not flushed by `fflush(stdout)` before
trying to read from `stdin`.
In the case of `git clean -i` all reads on `stdin` were preceded by a
`fflush(stdout)` call.

This change accompanies the `--no-cd` option when configured via
resources. It is required to support `Git Bash Here`: when
right-clicking an icon in the Explorer to start a Bash, the working
directory is actually the directory that is displayed in the Explorer.
That means if the clicked icon actually refers to a directory, the
working directory would be its *parent* directory.

To avoid that ugly Console window when calling \cmd\git.exe gui...
To avoid confusion with builtins, we need to move the code block
handling gitk (and now git-gui, too) to intercept before git-gui is
mistaken for a builtin.
Unfortunately, git-gui is in libexec/git-core/ while gitk is in bin/,
therefore we need slightly more adjustments than just moving and
augmenting the gitk case.

When *Git for Windows* is installed into a directory that has spaces in

The `git_terminal_prompt()` function expects the terminal window to be
attached to a Win32 Console. However, this is not the case with terminal
windows other than `cmd.exe`'s, e.g. with MSys2's own `mintty`.
Non-cmd terminals such as `mintty` still have to have a Win32 Console
to be proper console programs, but have to hide the Win32 Console to
be able to provide more flexibility (such as being resizeable not only
vertically but also horizontally). By writing to that Win32 Console,
`git_terminal_prompt()` manages only to send the prompt to nowhere and
to wait for input from a Console to which the user has no access.
This commit introduces a function specifically to support `mintty` -- or
other terminals that are compatible with MSys2's `/dev/tty` emulation. We
use the `TERM` environment variable as an indicator for that: if the value
starts with "xterm" (such as `mintty`'s "xterm_256color"), we prefer to
let `xterm_prompt()` handle the user interaction.
To handle the case when standard input/output are redirected – as is the
case when pushing via HTTPS: `git-remote-https`' standard input and
output are pipes from/to the main Git executable – we make use of the
`MSYS_TTY_HANDLES` environment variable that was introduced to
fix another bug in MSys2-based Git: this environment variable contains
the Win32 `HANDLE`s of the standard input, output and error as originally
passed from MSys2 to the Git executable, enclosed within space
characters, skipping handles that do not refer to the terminal window
(e.g. when they were redirected). We will only use those handles when
that environment variable lists all three handles because then we can be
100% certain that we are running inside a terminal window, and that we
know exactly which Win32 handles to use to communicate with it.

The idea of having the Git wrapper in the /cmd/ directory is to allow
adding only a *tiny* set of executables to the search path, to allow
minimal interference with other software applications. It is quite
likely, for example, that other software applications require their own
version of zlib1.dll and would not be overly happy to find the version
Git for Windows ships.
The /cmd/ directory also gives us the opportunity to let the Git wrapper
handle the `gitk` script. It is a Tcl/Tk script that is not recognized
by Windows, therefore calling `gitk` in `cmd.exe` would not work, even
if we add all of Git for Windows' bin/ directories.
So let's use the /cmd/ directory instead of adding /mingw??/bin/ and
/usr/bin/ to the PATH when launching Git CMD.
The way we implemented Git CMD is to embed the appropriate command line
as string resource into a copy of the Git wrapper. Therefore we extended
that syntax to allow for configuring a minimal search path.

We recently added the ability to configure copies of the Git wrapper to
launch custom command-lines, configured via plain old Windows resources.
The main user is Git for Windows' `git-bash.exe`, of course. When the
user double-clicks the `git bash` icon, it makes sense to start the Bash
in the user's home directory.
Third-party software, such as TortoiseGit or GitHub for Windows, may
want to start the Git Bash in another directory, though.
Now, when third-party software wants to call Git, they already have to
construct a command-line, and can easily pass a command-line option
`--no-cd` (which this commit introduces), and since that option is not
available when the user double-clicks an icon on the Desktop or in the
Explorer, let's keep the default to switch to the home directory if the
`--no-cd` flag was not passed along.

When we rewrite the command-line to call the *real* Git, we want to skip
the first command-line parameter. The previous code worked in most
circumstances, but was a bit fragile because it assumed that no fancy
quoting would take place.
In the next commit, we will want to have the option to skip more than
just one command-line parameter, so we have to be much more careful with
the command-line handling.
