Johannes Schindelin 355d5b7d08 mingw: Use the Git wrapper for builtins ...

This reduces the disk footprint of a full Git for Windows setup
dramatically because on Windows, one cannot assume that hard links are
supported.

The net savings are calculated easily: the 32-bit `git.exe` file weighs
in with 7662 kB while the `git-wrapper.exe` file (modified to serve as a
drop-in replacement for builtins) weighs a scant 21 kB. At this point,
there are 109 builtins which results in a total of 813 MB disk space
being freed up by this commit.

Yes, that is really more than half a gigabyte.
