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'.

caches without the need to synchronize with the file system.

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
implementation may improve performance by bulk-reading entire directories
or reusing data obtained via opendir / readdir.
Make the lstat implementation pluggable so that it can be switched at
runtime, e.g. based on a config option.

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 (similar to vtable pointers in
Object-Oriented Programming). 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.
Make the fixed-size `dirent.d_name` buffer a flex array, as `d_name` may
be implementation specific (e.g. a caching implementation may allocate a
`struct dirent` with _just_ the size needed to hold the `d_name` in
question).

This is the branch thicket of patches in Git for Windows that are
considered ready for upstream. To keep them in a ready-to-submit shape,
they are kept as close to the beginning of the branch thicket as
possible.
This topic branch allows `add -p` and `add -i` with a large number of
files. It is kind of a hack that was never really meant to be
upstreamed. Let's see if we can do better in the built-in `add -p`.

When compiling Git with a runtime prefix (so that it can be installed
into any location, finding its libexec/ directory relative to the
location of the `git` executable), it is convenient to provide
"absolute" Unix-y paths e.g. for http.sslCAInfo, and have those absolute
paths be resolved relative to the runtime prefix.
This patch makes it so for Windows. It is up for discussion whether we
want this for other platforms, too, as long as building with
RUNTIME_PREFIX.

This topic branch allows us to specify absolute paths without the drive
prefix e.g. when cloning.
Example:
C:\Users\me> git clone https://github.com/git/git \upstream-git
This will clone into a new directory C:\upstream-git, in line with how
Windows interprets absolute paths.

After `set -u` in Bash, the Git prompt would not be displayed and the
error `bash: GIT_PS1_COMPRESSSPARSESTATE: unbound variable` would be
printed, due to `GIT_PS1_COMPRESSSPARSESTATE` being unset by default
when it gets used.
This change sets a default value of an empty string to use when the
variable is unset to explicitly make the behaviour consistent between
`set -u` and `set +u`.

The native Windows HTTPS backend is based on Secure Channel which lets
the caller decide how to handle revocation checking problems caused by
missing information in the certificate or offline CRL distribution
points.
Unfortunately, cURL chose to handle these problems differently than
OpenSSL by default: while OpenSSL happily ignores those problems
(essentially saying "¯\_(ツ)_/¯"), the Secure Channel backend will error
out instead.
As a remedy, the "no revoke" mode was introduced, which turns off
revocation checking altogether. This is a bit heavy-handed. We support
this via the `http.schannelCheckRevoke` setting.
In https://github.com/curl/curl/pull/4981, we contributed an opt-in
"best effort" strategy that emulates what OpenSSL seems to do.
In Git for Windows, we actually want this to be the default. This patch
makes it so, introducing it as a new value for the
`http.schannelCheckRevoke" setting, which now becmes a tristate: it
accepts the values "false", "true" or "best-effort" (defaulting to the
last one).

It already caused problems with the test suite that the directory
containing `git.vcxproj` is called the same as the Git executable
without its file extension: `./git` is ambiguous, it could refer both to
the directory `git/` as well as to `git.exe`.
Now there is one more problem: when our GitHub workflow runs on the
`vs/master` branch, it fails in all but the Windows builds, as they want
to write the file `git` but there is already a directory in the way.
Let's just go ahead and append `.proj` to all of those directories, e.g.
`git.proj/` instead of `git/`.

Internally, Git expects the environment variable `HOME` to be set, and
to point to the current user's home directory.
This environment variable is not set by default on Windows, and
therefore Git tries its best to construct one if it finds `HOME` unset.
There are actually two different approaches Git tries: first, it looks
at `HOMEDRIVE`/`HOMEPATH` because this is widely used in corporate
environments with roaming profiles, and a user generally wants their
global Git settings to be in a roaming profile.
Only when `HOMEDRIVE`/`HOMEPATH` is either unset or does not point to a
valid location, Git will fall back to using `USERPROFILE` instead.
However, starting with Windows Vista, for secondary logons and services,
the environment variables `HOMEDRIVE`/`HOMEPATH` point to Windows'
system directory (usually `C:\Windows\system32`).
That is undesirable, and that location is usually write-protected anyway.
So let's verify that the `HOMEDRIVE`/`HOMEPATH` combo does not point to
Windows' system directory before using it, falling back to `USERPROFILE`
if it does.

Originally, we refrained from adding a regression test in 7b6c649637
(system_path(): Add prefix computation at runtime if RUNTIME_PREFIX set,
2008-08-10), and in 226c0ddd0d (exec_cmd: RUNTIME_PREFIX on some POSIX
systems, 2018-04-10).
The reason was that it was deemed too tricky to test.
Turns out that it is not tricky to test at all: we simply create a
pseudo-root, copy the `git` executable into the `git/` subdirectory of
that pseudo-root, then copy a script into the `libexec/git-core/`
directory and expect that to be picked up.
As long as the trash directory is in a location where binaries can be
executed, this works.
