This topic branch teaches the project generator to generate a Visual
Studio solution, ready to be opened in Visual Studio 2010 or later.
The idea, of course, is to let some automatic build job generate and
commit the project files with
make MSVC=1 vcxproj
and then (force-)push to a special-purpose branch.
The major part of this branch thicket concerns itself not only with
generating the Visual Studio project files, but making sure that the
user can then run the test suite from a regular Git Bash (i.e. *not*
requiring a Git for Windows SDK), e.g. by running
cd t
prove --timer --jobs 15 ./t[0-9]*.sh

This topic branch adds the (experimental) --stdin/-z options to `git
reset`. Those patches are still under review in the upstream Git project,
but are already merged in their experimental form into Git for Windows'
`master` branch, in preparation for a MinGit-only release.

With the recent update in efee955 (gpg-interface: check gpg signature
creation status, 2016-06-17), we ask GPG to send all status updates to
stderr, and then catch the stderr in an strbuf.
But GPG might fail, and send error messages to stderr. And we simply
do not show them to the user.
Even worse: this swallows any interactive prompt for a passphrase. And
detaches stderr from the tty so that the passphrase cannot be read.
So while the first problem could be fixed (by printing the captured
stderr upon error), the second problem cannot be easily fixed, and
presents a major regression.
So let's just revert commit efee9553a4.

This branch introduces support for reading the "Windows-wide" Git
configuration from `%PROGRAMDATA%\Git\config`. As these settings are
intended to be shared between *all* Git-related software, that config
file takes an even lower precedence than `$(prefix)/etc/gitconfig`.

These fixes were necessary for Sverre Rabbelier's remote-hg to work,
but for some magic reason they are not necessary for the current
remote-hg. Makes you wonder how that one gets away with it.

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).

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.

When building with Microsoft Visual C, we use NuGet to acquire the
dependencies (such as OpenSSL, cURL, etc). We even unpack those
dependencies.
This patch teaches the test suite to add the directory with the unpacked
.dll files to the PATH before running the tests.

We already unpack the NuGet packages in a certain place, via
compat/vcbuild/Makefile. Let's let Visual Studio use the very same place.

Microsoft flipped the Windows Safe Exception Handling default
in VS2013 so that zlib became unacceptable to certain OS versions
(Vista and subsequent 32-bit OS's) without the addition of
the option -SAFESEH:NO.
Provide a switch to disable the Safe Exception Handler when required.
The option ImageHasSafeExceptionHandlers for VS2013 is not available in
earlier versions, so use the SAFESEH:NO linker flag. See
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/9a89h429.aspx for
further details.
This has only had limited testing due to the lack of a suitable system.

Visual Studio takes the first listed application/library as the default
startup project [1].
Detect the 'git' project and place it the head of the apps list, rather
than the tail.
Export the apps list before libs list for both the projects and global
structures of the .sln file.

"In the solution file, there are a list of pseudo-XML "Project"
entries. It turns out that whatever is the first one ends up as
the Startup Project, unless it’s overridden in the suo file. Argh.
I just rearranged the order in the file and it’s good."
"just moving the pseudo-xml isn't enough. You also have to move the
group of entries in the "GlobalSection(ProjectConfigurationPlatforms)
= postSolution" group that has the GUID of the project you moved to
the top. So there are two places to move lines."

Delete the duplicated GUID from the generation code for the Visual Studio
.sln project file.
The duplicate GUID tended to be allocated to test-svn-fe, which was then
ignored by Visual Studio / MSVC, and its omission from the build never
noticed.

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
Studio 2008, but starting with Visual Studio 2010 the project
definitions are stored in .sln/.vcxproj files (which can also be used
by the MSBuild system).
Let's just copy-edit the generator of the .vcproj files to a new
generator that produces .vcxproj files directly, without forcing Visual
Studio to upgrade the project definitions.
