When building the Pacman packages, we technically do not need the full
`build-installers` artifact (which is substantially larger than the
`makepkg-git` artifact). However, the former is already cached and
includes the latter's files. And it is _so_ much faster to download the
cached (larger) artifact than to download the smaller `makepkg-git`
artifact from Azure Pipelines.

It is a bit expensive to fetch just the git-sdk-64-build-installers
artifact from Azure Pipelines and then to unpack it (takes some 6-7
minutes, typically). Let's cache it if possible.

With this change, users can specify the branch and repository from which
they want to build Git for Windows' artifacts, via the `ref` and
`repository` inputs.
This allows e.g. building `refs/heads/seen` of `git/git` (even if no
`git-artifacts` workflow is configured in that repository), or
`refs/pull/<number>/merge` for a given Pull Request.

Users can now specify which artifacts they want to build, via the
`build_only` input, which is a space-separated list of artifacts. For
example, `installer portable` will build `installer-x86_64`,
`installer-i686`, `portable-x86_64` and `portable-i686`, and an empty or
unset value will build all artifacts.
Please note that the `mingw-w64-git` packages are built always, as it
would be tricky to figure out when they need to be built (for example,
`build_only=portable-x86_64` technically does not need `pkg-i686` to be
built, while `build_only=portable` does).

When the secrets `CODESIGN_P12` and `CODESIGN_PASS` are set, the
workflow will now code-sign the `.exe` files contained in the package.
This should help with a few anti-malware programs, at least when the
certificate saw some action and gained trust.
Note: `CODESIGN_P12` needs to be generated via
cat <certificate>.p12 | base64 | tr '\n' %

Dash bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dash/+bug/139097
lets the shell erroneously perform field splitting on the expansion of a
command substitution during declaration of a local variable. It causes
the parallel-checkout tests to fail e.g. when running them with
/bin/dash on MacOS 11.4, where they error out like this:
./t2080-parallel-checkout-basics.sh: 33: local: 0: bad variable name
That's because the output of wc -l contains leading spaces and the
returned number of lines is treated as another variable to declare, i.e.
as in "local workers= 0".
Work around it by enclosing the command substitution in quotes.

Some platforms, like NonStop do not automatically restart fsync()
when interrupted by a signal, even when that signal is setup with
SA_RESTART.
This can lead to test breakage, e.g., where "--progress" is used,
thus SIGALRM is sent often, and can interrupt an fsync() syscall.
Make sure we deal with such a case by retrying the syscall
ourselves. Luckily, we call fsync() fron a single wrapper,
fsync_or_die(), so the fix is fairly isolated.

This topic branch re-adds the deprecated --stdin/-z options to `git
reset`. Those patches were overridden by a different set of options in
the upstream Git project before we could propose `--stdin`.
We offered this in MinGit to applications that wanted a safer way to
pass lots of pathspecs to Git, and these applications will need to be
adjusted.
Instead of `--stdin`, `--pathspec-from-file=-` should be used, and
instead of `-z`, `--pathspec-file-nul`.

These are Git for Windows' Git GUI and gitk patches. We will have to
decide at some point what to do about them, but that's a little lower
priority (as Git GUI seems to be unmaintained for the time being, and
the gitk maintainer keeps a very low profile on the Git mailing list,
too).

Git for Windows accepts pull requests; Core Git does not. Therefore we
need to adjust the template (because it only matches core Git's

Also: direct Git for Windows enhancements to their contributions page,
space out the text for easy reading, and clarify that the mailing list
is plain text, not HTML.

Rather than using private IFTTT Applets that send mails to this
maintainer whenever a new version of a Git for Windows component was
released, let's use the power of GitHub workflows to make this process
publicly visible.
This workflow monitors the Atom/RSS feeds, and opens a ticket whenever a
new version was released.
Note: Bash sometimes releases multiple patched versions within a few
minutes of each other (i.e. 5.1p1 through 5.1p4, 5.0p15 and 5.0p16). The
MSYS2 runtime also has a similar system. We can address those patches as
a group, so we shouldn't get multiple issues about them.
Note further: We're not acting on newlib releases, OpenSSL alphas, Perl
release candidates or non-stable Perl releases. There's no need to open
issues about them.

The `--stdin` option was a well-established paradigm in other commands,
therefore we implemented it in `git reset` for use by Visual Studio.
Unfortunately, upstream Git decided that it is time to introduce
`--pathspec-from-file` instead.
To keep backwards-compatibility for some grace period, we therefore
reinstate the `--stdin` option on top of the `--pathspec-from-file`
option, but mark it firmly as deprecated.

It was a bad idea to just remove that option from Git for Windows
v2.15.0, as early users of that (still experimental) option would have
been puzzled what they are supposed to do now.
So let's reintroduce the flag, but make sure to show the user good
advice how to fix this going forward.
We'll remove this option in a more orderly fashion when we're certain
that the option is no longer used (previous Visual Studio versions
relied on it).
The option is deprecated now, therefore we make sure that keeps saying
so until we finally remove it.

When a third-party tool periodically runs `git status` in order to keep
track of the state of the working tree, it is a bad idea to lock the
index: it might interfere with interactive commands executed by the
user, e.g. when the user wants to commit files.
Git for Windows introduced the `--no-lock-index` option a long time ago
to fix that (it made it into Git for Windows v2.9.2(3)) by simply
avoiding to write that file.
The downside is that the periodic `git status` calls will be a little
bit more wasteful because they may have to refresh the index repeatedly,
only to throw away the updates when it exits. This cannot really be
helped, though, as tools wanting to get a periodic update of the status
have no way to predict when the user may want to lock the index herself.
Sadly, a competing approach was submitted (by somebody who apparently
has less work on their plate than this maintainer) that made it into
v2.15.0 but is *different*: instead of a `git status`-only option, it is
an option that comes *before* the Git command and is called differently,
too.
Let's give previous users a chance to upgrade to newer Git for Windows
versions by handling the `--no-lock-index` option, still, though with a
big fat warning.
