Whith Windows 2000, Microsoft introduced a flag to the PE header to mark executables as
"terminal server aware". Windows terminal servers provide a redirected Windows directory and
redirected registry hives when launching legacy applications without this flag set. Since we
do not use any INI files in the Windows directory and don't write to the registry, we don't
need this additional preparation. Telling the OS that we don't need this should provide
slightly improved startup times in terminal server environments.
When building for supported Windows Versions with MSVC the /TSAWARE linker flag is
automatically set, but MinGW requires us to set the --tsaware flag manually.
This partially addresses https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/issues/3935.

This topic branch extends the protections introduced for Git GUI's
CVE-2022-41953 to cover `gitk`, too.
Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de>
Just like CVE-2022-41953 for Git GUI, there exists a vulnerability of
`gitk` where it looks for `taskkill.exe` in the current directory before
searching `PATH`.
Note that the many `exec git` calls are unaffected, due to an obscure
quirk in Tcl's `exec` function. Typically, `git.exe` lives next to
`wish.exe` (i.e. the program that is run to execute `gitk` or Git GUI)
in Git for Windows, and that is the saving grace for `git.exe because
`exec` searches the directory where `wish.exe` lives even before the
current directory, according to
https://www.tcl-lang.org/man/tcl/TclCmd/exec.htm#M24:
If a directory name was not specified as part of the application
name, the following directories are automatically searched in
order when attempting to locate the application:
The directory from which the Tcl executable was loaded.
The current directory.
The Windows 32-bit system directory.
The Windows home directory.
The directories listed in the path.
The same is not true, however, for `taskkill.exe`: it lives in the
Windows system directory (never mind the 32-bit, Tcl's documentation is
outdated on that point, it really means `C:\Windows\system32`).

"git diff --cached" codepath did not fill the necessary stat

diff --no-index: fix -R with stdin
The completion script (in contrib/) has been taught to treat the
"-t" option to "git checkout" and "git switch" just like the
"--track" option, to complete remote-tracking branches.
* js/complete-checkout-t:
completion(switch/checkout): treat --track and -t the same
"git grep -e A --no-or -e B" is accepted, even though the negation
of "or" did not mean anything, which has been tightened.
