When building the `doc` with `asciidoctor`, `asciidoctor` complains about
a nested code block in a callout list. This is a really dirty solution to
restore the callout list to function properly. There is a minimal visual
sideeffect; the *immitated* codeblock has no overall greyish background.
Instead the individual lines have it.
Note: When building this patch with `asciidoc` the background is totally
gone but the font is still monospaced.

The `user-manual.txt` ist designed as a `book` but the `Makefile` wants to
build it as an `article`. This seems to be a problem when building the
documentation with `asciidoctor`. Furthermore the parts *Git Glossary*
and *Apendix B* had no subsections which is not allowed when building with
`asciidoctor`. So lets add a *dummy* section.

In this developers' setup, HAVE_LIBCHARSET_H is apparently defined, but
we *really* want to override the locale_charset() here.
Reminder: at the next merging rebase, fix the ACP typo as requested by
Karsten.
HOME initialization was historically duplicated in many different places,
including /etc/profile, launch scripts such as git-bash.vbs and gitk.cmd,
and (although slightly broken) in the git-wrapper.
Even unrelated projects such as GitExtensions and TortoiseGit need to
implement the same logic to be able to call git directly.
Initialize HOME in git's own startup code so that we can eventually retire
all the duplicate initialization code.

Lets keep the environment initialization and conversion section as lean as
possible and move recently added tweaks to setup_windows_environment().
This fixes the following potential problems:
* Prevent duplicate TZ variables if both TZ and MSYS2_TZ are set.
* Some of the higher level x* APIs from wrapper.c require a working
getenv(), using e.g. xstrdup() during initialization is dangerous.
* Slashifying the Windows TMP variable may break native Windows programs,
use POSIX TMPDIR instead.
* Properly slashify TMPDIR even if it is already set, and also if we only
have TEMP, but not TMP.
* Reduce complexity from O(n) to O(log n).

git-wrapper fails to initialize HOME correctly if $HOMEDRIVE$HOMEPATH
points to a disconnected network drive.
Check if the directory exists before using $HOMEDRIVE$HOMEPATH.

Git on native Windows exclusively uses UTF-8 for console output (both with
mintty and native console windows). Gettext uses setlocale() to determine
the output encoding for translated text, however, MSVCRT's setlocale()
doesn't support UTF-8. As a result, translated text is encoded in system
encoding (GetAPC()), and non-ASCII chars are mangled in console output.
Use gettext's bind_textdomain_codeset() to force the encoding to UTF-8 on
native Windows.

Add the following clarifier with the next merging rebase:
Note: cURL manages to set the variable CHARSET when nedmalloc is *not*
enabled, without causing an access violation. In that case, it sets it
successfully to the value "cp1252" (hence it is our choice, too, cURL may
need it, Git does not).
This developer should really, really have known better. The fact that we
are changing the environment in ways for which the MSVCRT is not
prepared for is bad enough. But then this developer followed the request
to re-enable nedmalloc -- despite the prediction that it would cause an
access violation, predicting it in the same message as the request to
re-enable nedmalloc, no less!
To paper over the issue until the time when this developer finds the
time to re-design the Unicode environment handling from scratch, let's
hope that cURL is the only library we are using that *may* set an
environment variable using MSVCRT's putenv() after we fscked the
environment up.
Note: this commit can serve as no source of pride to anyone, certainly
not yours truly. It is necessary as a quick and pragmatic stop gap,
though, to prevent worse problems.

When Git for Windows was still based on MSys1, we had no gettext, ergo
no msgfmt, either. Therefore, we introduced a small and simple Tcl
script to perform the same task.
However, with MSys2, we no longer need that because we have a proper
msgfmt executable. Plus, the po2msg.sh script somehow manages to hang
when run in parallel.
Two reasons to use real msgfmt.exe instead.

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.

A '+' is not a valid part of a filename with Windows file systems (it is

With MSys2's GCC, `ReadWriteBarrier` is already defined, and FORCEINLINE
unfortunately gets defined incorrectly.
Let's work around both problems, using the MSys2-specific
__MINGW64_VERSION_MAJOR constant to guard them.

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.
This commit needs to be moved into the 'git-wrapper' branch with the
next merging rebase.

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.

When *Git for Windows* is installed into a directory that has spaces in
it, e.g. `C:\Program Files\Git`, the `git-wrapper` appends this directory
unquoted when fixing up the command line. To resolve this, just quote the
provided `execpath`.
