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`.

We no longer use any of MSVCRT's stat-functions, so there's no need to
stick to a CRT-compatible 'struct stat' either.
Define and use our own POSIX-2013-compatible 'struct stat' with nanosecond-
precision file times.
Note: Due to performance issues when using git variants with different file
time resolutions, this patch does *not* yet enable nanosecond precision in
the Makefile (use 'make USE_NSEC=1').

The contract for the stat() and lstat() function is:
> stat(): stats the file pointed to by path and fills in buf.
> lstat(): is identical to stat(), except that if path is a symbolic link,

stat() should always return the statistics of the file or directory a
symbolic link is pointing to. The lstat() function is used to get the
stats for the symlink. Hence the check should not be there.

When we access IPv6-related functions, we load the corresponding system
library using the `LoadLibrary()` function, which is not the recommended
way to load system libraries.
In practice, it does not make a difference: the `ws2_32.dll` library
containing the IPv6 functions is already loaded into memory, so
LoadLibrary() simply reuses the already-loaded library.
Still, recommended way is recommended way, so let's use that instead.
While at it, also adjust the code in contrib/ that loads system libraries.

When git.rc is compiled into git.res, the result is actually dependent
on the architecture. That is, you cannot simply link a 32-bit git.res
into a 64-bit git.exe.
Therefore, to allow 32-bit and 64-bit builds in the same directory, we
let git.res depend on GIT-PREFIX so that it gets recompiled when
compiling for a different architecture (this works because the exec path
changes based on the architecture: /mingw32/libexec/git-core for 32-bit
and /mingw64/libexec/git-core for 64-bit).

Symlinks on Windows have a flag that indicates whether the target is a file
or a directory. Symlinks of wrong type simply don't work. This even affects
core Win32 APIs (e.g. DeleteFile() refuses to delete directory symlinks).
However, CreateFile() with FILE_FLAG_BACKUP_SEMANTICS doesn't seem to care.
Check the target type by first creating a tentative file symlink, opening
it, and checking the type of the resulting handle. If it is a directory,
recreate the symlink with the directory flag set.
It is possible to create symlinks before the target exists (or in case of
symlinks to symlinks: before the target type is known). If this happens,
create a tentative file symlink and postpone the directory decision: keep
a list of phantom symlinks to be processed whenever a new directory is
created in mingw_mkdir().
Limitations: This algorithm may fail if a link target changes from file to
directory or vice versa, or if the target directory is created in another
process.

Accessing the Windows console through the special CONIN$ / CONOUT$ devices
doesn't work properly for non-ASCII usernames an passwords.
It also doesn't work for terminal emulators that hide the native console
window (such as mintty), and 'TERM=xterm*' is not necessarily a reliable
indicator for such terminals.
The new shell_prompt() function, on the other hand, works fine for both
MSys1 and MSys2, in native console windows as well as mintty, and properly
supports Unicode. It just needs bash on the path (for 'read -s', which is
bash-specific).
On Windows, try to use the shell to read from the terminal. If that fails
with ENOENT (i.e. bash was not found), use CONIN/OUT as fallback.
Note: To test this, create a UTF-8 credential file with non-ASCII chars,
e.g. in git-bash: 'echo url=http://täst.com > cred.txt'. Then in git-cmd,
'git credential fill <cred.txt' works (shell version), while calling git
without the git-wrapper (i.e. 'mingw64\bin\git credential fill <cred.txt')
mangles non-ASCII chars in both console output and input.

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.
Worse: there are portable Git for Windows versions out there which live
in totally unrelated directories, still.
Therefore we came to a consensus to use `%PROGRAMDATA%\Git\config` as the
location for shared Git settings 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.
Of course, the configuration in `%PROGRAMDATA%\Git\config` has the
widest reach, therefore it must take the lowest precedence, i.e. Git for
Windows can still override settings in its `etc/gitconfig` file.

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.
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`.

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.

When compiling with MSVC, we rely on NuPkgs to provide the binaries of
dependencies such as libiconv. The libiconv 1.14.0.11 package available
from https://www.nuget.org/packages/libiconv seems to have a bug where
it does not set errno (when we would expect it to be E2BIG).
Let's simulate the error condition by taking less than 16 bytes
remaining in the out buffer as an indicator that we ran out of space.
While 16 might seem a bit excessive (when converting from, say, any
encoding to UTF-8, 8 bytes should be fine), it is designed to be a safe
margin.

If symlinks are enabled, resolve all symlinks when changing directories,
as required by POSIX.
Note: Git's real_path() function bases its link resolution algorithm on
this property of chdir(). Unfortunately, the current directory on Windows
is limited to only MAX_PATH (260) characters. Therefore using symlinks and
long paths in combination may be problematic.
Note: GetFinalPathNameByHandleW() was introduced with symlink support in
Windows Vista. Thus, for compatibility with Windows XP, we need to load it

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.
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 "cp" + GetACP() (hence it is our choice, too,
cURL may need it, Git does not):

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.
In this developers' setup, HAVE_LIBCHARSET_H is apparently defined, but
we *really* want to override the locale_charset() here.

Symlinks on Windows don't work the same way as on Unix systems. E.g. there
are different types of symlinks for directories and files, creating
symlinks requires administrative privileges etc.
By default, disable symlink support on Windows. I.e. users explicitly have
to enable it with 'git config [--system|--global] core.symlinks true'.
The test suite ignores system / global config files. Allow testing *with*
symlink support by checking if native symlinks are enabled in MSys2 (via
'MSYS=winsymlinks:nativestrict').

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.
