Again, avoid using echo (which issues DOS line endings on msysGit) to not mix

not warn about a cast of a pointer to an integer of a different type

The environment is modified in most surprising circumstances, and not
all of them are under Git's control. For example, calling
curl_global_init() on Windows will ensure that the CHARSET variable is
set, adding one if necessary.
While the previous commit worked around crashes triggered by such
outside changes of the environment by relaxing the requirement that the
environment be terminated by a NULL pointer, the other assumption made
by `mingw_getenv()` and `mingw_putenv()` is that the environment is
sorted, for efficient lookup via binary search.
Let's make real sure that our environment is intact before querying or
modifying it, and reinitialize our idea of the environment if necessary.
With this commit, before working on the environment we look briefly for
indicators that the environment was modified outside of our control, and
to ensure that it is terminated with a NULL pointer and sorted again in
that case.
Note: the indicators are maybe not sufficient. For example, when a
variable is removed, it will not be noticed. It might also be a problem
if outside changes to the environment result in a modified `environ`
pointer: it is unclear whether such a modification could result in a
problem when `mingw_putenv()` needs to `realloc()` the environment
buffer.
For the moment, however, the current fix works well enough, so let's
only face the potential problems when (and if!) they occur.

Outside of our Windows-specific code, the end of the environment can be
marked also by a pointer to a NUL character, not only by a NULL pointer
as our code assumed so far.
That led to a buffer overrun in `make_environment_block()` when running
`git-remote-https` in `mintty` (because `curl_global_init()` added the
`CHARSET` environment variable *outside* of `mingw_putenv()`, ending the
environment in a pointer to an empty string).
Side note for future debugging on Windows: when running programs in
`mintty`, the standard input/output/error is not connected to a Win32
Console, but instead is pipe()d. That means that even stderr may not be
written completely before a crash, but has to be fflush()ed explicitly.
For example, when debugging crashes, the developer should insert an
`fflush(stderr);` at the end of the `error()` function defined in
usage.c.

It is unlikely that we have an empty environment, ever, but *if* we do,
when `environ_size - 1` is passed to `bsearchenv()` it is misinterpreted
as a real large integer.
To make the code truly defensive, refuse to do anything at all if the
size is negative (which should not happen, of course).

Windows does not necessarily mean Cygwin, it could also be MSYS. The
latter ships with a version of "kill" that does not understand "-f". In

Windows paths are typically limited to MAX_PATH = 260 characters, even
though the underlying NTFS file system supports paths up to 32,767 chars.
This limitation is also evident in Windows Explorer, cmd.exe and many
other applications (including IDEs).
Particularly annoying is that most Windows APIs return bogus error codes
if a relative path only barely exceeds MAX_PATH in conjunction with the
current directory, e.g. ERROR_PATH_NOT_FOUND / ENOENT instead of the
infinitely more helpful ERROR_FILENAME_EXCED_RANGE / ENAMETOOLONG.
Many Windows wide char APIs support longer than MAX_PATH paths through the
file namespace prefix ('\\?\' or '\\?\UNC\') followed by an absolute path.
Notable exceptions include functions dealing with executables and the
current directory (CreateProcess, LoadLibrary, Get/SetCurrentDirectory) as
well as the entire shell API (ShellExecute, SHGetSpecialFolderPath...).
Introduce a handle_long_path function to check the length of a specified
path properly (and fail with ENAMETOOLONG), and to optionally expand long
paths using the '\\?\' file namespace prefix. Short paths will not be
modified, so we don't need to worry about device names (NUL, CON, AUX).
Contrary to MSDN docs, the GetFullPathNameW function doesn't seem to be
limited to MAX_PATH (at least not on Win7), so we can use it to do the
heavy lifting of the conversion (translate '/' to '\', eliminate '.' and
'..', and make an absolute path).
Add long path error checking to xutftowcs_path for APIs with hard MAX_PATH
limit.
Add a new MAX_LONG_PATH constant and xutftowcs_long_path function for APIs
that support long paths.
While improved error checking is always active, long paths support must be
explicitly enabled via 'core.longpaths' option. This is to prevent end
users to shoot themselves in the foot by checking out files that Windows
Explorer, cmd/bash or their favorite IDE cannot handle.
Test suite:
Test the case is when the full pathname length of a dir is close
to 260 (MAX_PATH).

If multiple threads access a directory that is not yet in the cache, the
directory will be loaded by each thread. Only one of the results is added
to the cache, all others are leaked. This wastes performance and memory.
On cache miss, add a future object to the cache to indicate that the
directory is currently being loaded. Subsequent threads register themselves
with the future object and wait. When the first thread has loaded the
directory, it replaces the future object with the result and notifies
waiting threads.

Checking the work tree status is quite slow on Windows, due to slow lstat
emulation (git calls lstat once for each file in the index). Windows
operating system APIs seem to be much better at scanning the status
of entire directories than checking single files.
Add an lstat implementation that uses a cache for lstat data. Cache misses
read the entire parent directory and add it to the cache. Subsequent lstat
calls for the same directory are served directly from the cache.
Also implement opendir / readdir / closedir so that they create and use
directory listings in the cache.
The cache doesn't track file system changes and doesn't plug into any
modifying file APIs, so it has to be explicitly enabled for git functions
that don't modify the working copy.
Note: in an earlier version of this patch, the cache was always active and
tracked file system changes via ReadDirectoryChangesW. However, this was
much more complex and had negative impact on the performance of modifying
git commands such as 'git checkout'.

Emulating the POSIX lstat API on Windows via GetFileAttributes[Ex] is quite
slow. Windows operating system APIs seem to be much better at scanning the
status of entire directories than checking single files. A caching

Emulating the POSIX dirent API on Windows via FindFirstFile/FindNextFile is
pretty staightforward, however, most of the information provided in the
WIN32_FIND_DATA structure is thrown away in the process. A more
sophisticated implementation may cache this data, e.g. for later reuse in
calls to lstat.
Make the dirent implementation pluggable so that it can be switched at
runtime, e.g. based on a config option.
Define a base DIR structure with pointers to readdir/closedir that match
the opendir implementation (i.e. similar to vtable pointers in OOP).
Define readdir/closedir so that they call the function pointers in the DIR
structure. This allows to choose the opendir implementation on a
call-by-call basis.
Move the fixed sized dirent.d_name buffer to the dirent-specific DIR
structure, as d_name may be implementation specific (e.g. a caching
implementation may just set d_name to point into the cache instead of
copying the entire file name string).

Since commit 0c499ea60f the send-pack builtin uses the side-band-64k
capability if advertised by the server.
Unfortunately this breaks pushing over the dump git protocol if used
over a network connection.
The detailed reasons for this breakage are (by courtesy of Jeff Preshing,
quoted from ttps://groups.google.com/d/msg/msysgit/at8D7J-h7mw/eaLujILGUWoJ):
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
MinGW wraps Windows sockets in CRT file descriptors in order to mimic the
functionality of POSIX sockets. This causes msvcrt.dll to treat sockets as
Installable File System (IFS) handles, calling ReadFile, WriteFile,
DuplicateHandle and CloseHandle on them. This approach works well in simple
cases on recent versions of Windows, but does not support all usage patterns.
In particular, using this approach, any attempt to read & write concurrently
on the same socket (from one or more processes) will deadlock in a scenario
where the read waits for a response from the server which is only invoked after
the write. This is what send_pack currently attempts to do in the use_sideband
codepath.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The new config option "sendpack.sideband" allows to override the side-band-64k
capability of the server, and thus makes the dump git protocol work.
Other transportation methods like ssh and http/https still benefit from
the sideband channel, therefore the default value of "sendpack.sideband"
is still true.

The previous implementation said that the filesystem information on
Windows is not reliable to determine whether a file is executable.
To find gather this information it was peeking into the first two bytes
of a file to see whether it looks executable.
Apart from the fact that on Windows executables are usually defined as
such by their extension it lead to slow opening of help file in some
situations.

If Git were installed in a path containing non-ASCII characters,
commands such as git-am and git-submodule, which are implemented as
externals, would fail to launch with the following error:
> fatal: 'am' appears to be a git command, but we were not
> able to execute it. Maybe git-am is broken?
This was due to lookup_prog not being Unicode-aware. It was somehow
missed in 2ee5a1a14a.
Note that the only problem in this function was calling
GetFileAttributes instead of GetFileAttributesW. The calls to access()
were fine because access() is a macro which resolves to mingw_access,
which already handles Unicode correctly. But I changed lookup_prog to
use _waccess directly so that we only convert the path to UTF-16 once.

After importing anything with fast-import, we should always let the
garbage collector do its job, since the objects are written to disk
inefficiently.
This brings down an initial import of http://selenic.com/hg from about
