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'.

Add a macro to mark code sections that only read from the file system,
along with a config option and documentation.
This facilitates implementation of relatively simple file system level
caches without the need to synchronize with the file system.
Enable read-only sections for 'git status' and preload_index.

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 (i.e. similar to vtable pointers in OOP).
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.
Move the fixed sized dirent.d_name buffer to the dirent-specific DIR
structure, as d_name may be implementation specific (e.g. a caching
implementation may just set d_name to point into the cache instead of
copying the entire file name string).

Fix racy fsmonitor
The `t7519-status-fsmonitor.sh` tests became a *lot* more flaky with the
recent fsmonitor fix (`js/fsmonitor-refresh-after-discarding-index`).
That fix, however, did not introduce the flakiness, but it just made it
much more likely to be hit. And it seemed to be hit *only* on Windows.
The reason, though, is that the fsmonitor feature failed to mark the
in-memory index as changed, i.e. in need of writing, and it was the
`has_racy_timestamp()` test that hid this bug in most cases (although a
lot less on Windows, where the files' mtimes are actually a lot more
accurate than on Linux).

This topic branch cleans up some left-overs that were forgotten when
removing the scripted `git rebase`.
As these patches are based on top of v2.22.0-rc1 (which *did* drop the
scripted `git-rebase.sh`), instead of v2.21.0 (on which the current `master`
of Git for Windows is based, and which did *not* yet drop the scripted
`git rebase`) it does not make sense to try to backport them to

spawned `git commit-graph write` (if `gc.writecommitgraph=true`) tries

In Git for Windows, there is an option to mark the .git directory as
hidden. Our test cases verify this by using the system utility
`attrib.exe`.
This file name is unfortunately quite generic, and overlaps with a
Unix-y utility that might be hiding the system one in the `PATH`.
Let's specify explicitly which `attrib` to use.

MSYS2 inherits the trick from Cygwin to pretend that filenames can
contain characters that are illegal on Windows (by mapping them to a
private Unicode page). As long as we stay safely within the MSYS2 realm
(Bash, GNU make, Perl) that is fine, so technically this change is not
needed. But it is a lot more elegant not to rely on this.
Besides, the suffix `.new` is a lot more intuitive than the suffix
`+`...

MSys2's strace facility is very useful for debugging... With this patch,
the bash will be executed through strace if the environment variable
GIT_STRACE_COMMANDS is set, which comes in real handy when investigating
issues in the test suite.
Also support passing a path to a log file via GIT_STRACE_COMMANDS to
force Git to call strace.exe with the `-o <path>` argument, i.e. to log
into a file rather than print the log directly.
That comes in handy when the output would otherwise misinterpreted by a
calling process as part of Git's output.
Note: the values "1", "yes" or "true" are *not* specifying paths, but
tell Git to let strace.exe log directly to the console.

The kwset functionality makes use of the obstack code, which expects to
be handed a function that can allocate large chunks of data. It expects
that function to accept a `size` parameter of type `long`.
This upsets GCC 8 on Windows, because `long` does not have the same
bit size as `size_t` there.
Now, the proper thing to do would be to switch to `size_t`. But this
would make us deviate from the "upstream" code even further, making it
hard to synchronize with newer versions, and also it would be quite
involved because that `long` type is so invasive in that code.
Let's punt, and instead provide a super small wrapper around
`xmalloc()`.

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.
