gitexec looks up and caches the method to execute git subcommands using
the long deprecated dashed form if found in $(git--exec-path). But,
git_read and git_write now use the dashless form, by-passing gitexec.
This leaves two remaining uses of gitexec: one during startup to define
use of an ssh_key helper, and one in the about dialog box. These are
neither performance critical nor likely to be called more than once, so
do not justify an otherwise unused cacheing system.
Let's change those two uses, making gitexec unused. This allows removing
gitexec and _git_cmd.

git-gui implements its own approach to locating and running various git
subcommands, bypassing git's capabilities for running git-*. This was
written in 2007: at that time, many git commands were shell-scripts
stored in $(git --exec-path), git's run-command api was not well adapted
to Windows and had serious performance issues when it worked at all, and
running subcommand 'git foo' as 'git-foo' was common and fully supported.
On Windows, git-gui searches $(git --exec-path) for builtin commands,
then attempts to find an interpreter on PATH to run those, invoking
these differently than on other platforms. For instance, the explicit
shebang #!/usr/bin/perl found in a script will be run by the first Perl
interpreter found on $PATH, which might not be at that specific location
so could be different than what git would run.
The various issues leading to the current implemention no longer exist.
Most git commands are now builtins, links to run those are not installed
in $(git --exec-path) by default (the "dashless" form is recommended
instead), and git's run-command api works well everywhere.
So, let's use git to launch its subcommands on all platforms. Do so by
modifying procs git_read and git_write to use the "dashless" form for
invoking git commands, avoiding the search for git-<foo>. This leaves
_git_cmd unused with cleanup in a later patch.

git-gui's default clone method is git-clone's default, and this uses
hardlinks rather than copying the objects directory for local
repositories. However, this method explicitly fails if a symlink (or
.gitfile) exists in the path to the objects directory. Thus, the default
clone option fails for worktrees created by git-new-workdir or
git-worktree. git-gui's original do_clone trapped this error for a
symlinked git-new-workdir tree, directly falling back to a full clone,
while the updated git-gui using git-clone does not. (The old do_clone
could not handle gitfile linked worktrees, however).
Let's apply the more friendly fallback to a full clone in both these
cases where git-clone behavior throws an error on the default method.

git-gui clones a repository by invoking git-plumbing commands, in proc
do_clone, rather than using git-clone. The justification was that the
low-level commands are guaranteed to provide a stable interface, while
the higher level commands such as git-clone may not be stable. This
approach requires git-gui to continually evolve by mirroring new
features in git itself, which has not happened, while the user interface
in git-clone has proven very stable. Also, git-gui does directly call
many other non-plumbing commands in git's repertoire.
do_clone's last significant functionality change was in 2015, and
updates are required for shallow clones, the reftable backend, cloning
from linked worktrees, and perhaps other features and bugs. For
instance, I had reports of git-gui failing to correctly clone
repositories prior to 2015, resulting in essentially the patch given
here. The only significant work was supporting .gitfile linked worktrees
unknown to do_clone, but supported by git-clone, and none regarding the
interface to git-clone itself. That interface is clearly stable enough
to not be a problem.
Supporting new use-cases with this requires exposing new options in the
clone dialog, then passing flags to git-clone. This avoids updating
do_clone to understand those options, reducing the maintenance burdens.
So, teach git-gui to use git-clone. This change is in one patch as
there is no obvious incremental path to migration. The existing dialog /
options / status screen are unchanged, the known user-visible changes
are that cloning from a working directory linked by a gitfile now works,
there is no auto-fallback to a full copy when cloning linked workdirs
and worktrees (meaning git-clone fails unless a full or shared copy is
selected), and messages displayed are from git-clone.
