d26600ba1a Merge 'git-gui/js/intent-to-add'
This merges the current version of the patch that tries to address Git
GUI's problems with intent-to-add files.

This patch will likely be improved substantially before it is merged
into Git GUI's main branch, but we want to have _something_ resembling a
fix already in Git for Windows v2.29.0.

52f42d4641 mingw: allow for longer paths in parse_interpreter()
As reported in https://github.com/newren/git-filter-repo/pull/225, it
looks like 99 bytes is not really sufficient to represent e.g. the full
path to Python when installed via Windows Store (and this path is used
in the hasb bang line when installing scripts via `pip`).

Let's increase it to what is probably the maximum sensible path size:
MAX_PATH. This makes `parse_interpreter()` in line with what
`lookup_prog()` handles.

b062ec1814 cmake(): allow setting HOST_CPU for cross-compilation
Git's regular Makefile mentions that HOST_CPU should be defined when cross-compiling Git: 37796bca76/Makefile (L438-L439)

This is then used to set the GIT_HOST_CPU variable when compiling Git: 37796bca76/Makefile (L1337-L1341)

Then, when the user runs `git version --build-options`, it returns that value: 37796bca76/help.c (L658)

This commit adds the same functionality to the CMake configuration. Users can now set -DHOST_CPU= to set the target architecture.

c59848c7d2 http: use new "best effort" strategy for Secure Channel revoke checking
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).

f637efe69a transport: optionally disable side-band-64k
Since commit 0c499ea60f (send-pack: demultiplex a sideband stream with
status data, 2010-02-05) the send-pack builtin uses the side-band-64k
capability if advertised by the server.

Unfortunately this breaks pushing over the dump git protocol if used
over a network connection.

The detailed reasons for this breakage are (by courtesy of Jeff Preshing,
quoted from https://groups.google.com/d/msg/msysgit/at8D7J-h7mw/eaLujILGUWoJ):

	MinGW wraps Windows sockets in CRT file descriptors in order to
	mimic the functionality of POSIX sockets. This causes msvcrt.dll
	to treat sockets as Installable File System (IFS) handles,
	calling ReadFile, WriteFile, DuplicateHandle and CloseHandle on
	them. This approach works well in simple cases on recent
	versions of Windows, but does not support all usage patterns. In
	particular, using this approach, any attempt to read & write
	concurrently on the same socket (from one or more processes)
	will deadlock in a scenario where the read waits for a response
	from the server which is only invoked after the write. This is
	what send_pack currently attempts to do in the use_sideband
	codepath.

The new config option `sendpack.sideband` allows to override the
side-band-64k capability of the server, and thus makes the dumb git
protocol work.

Other transportation methods like ssh and http/https still benefit from
the sideband channel, therefore the default value of `sendpack.sideband`
is still true.

ceaa5297b1 mingw: use mimalloc
Thorough benchmarking with repacking a subset of linux.git (the commit
history reachable from 93a6fefe2f ([PATCH] fix the SYSCTL=n compilation,
2007-02-28), to be precise) suggest that this allocator is on par, in
multi-threaded situations maybe even better than nedmalloc:

`git repack -adfq` with mimalloc, 8 threads:

31.166991900 27.576763800 28.712311000 27.373859000 27.163141900

`git repack -adfq` with nedmalloc, 8 threads:

31.915032900 27.149883100 28.244933700 27.240188800 28.580849500

In a different test using GitHub Actions build agents (probably
single-threaded, a core-strength of nedmalloc)):

`git repack -q -d -l -A --unpack-unreachable=2.weeks.ago` with mimalloc:

943.426 978.500 939.709 959.811 954.605

`git repack -q -d -l -A --unpack-unreachable=2.weeks.ago` with nedmalloc:

995.383 952.179 943.253 963.043 980.468

While these measurements were not executed with complete scientific
rigor, as no hardware was set aside specifically for these benchmarks,
it shows that mimalloc and nedmalloc perform almost the same, nedmalloc
with a bit higher variance and also slightly higher average (further
testing suggests that nedmalloc performs worse in multi-threaded
situations than in single-threaded ones).

In short: mimalloc seems to be slightly better suited for our purposes
than nedmalloc.

Seeing that mimalloc is developed actively, while nedmalloc ceased to
see any updates in eight years, let's use mimalloc on Windows instead.

086dac0292 mimalloc: offer a build-time option to enable it
By defining `USE_MIMALLOC`, Git can now be compiled with that
nicely-fast and small allocator.

Note that we have to disable a couple `DEVELOPER` options to build
mimalloc's source code, as it makes heavy use of declarations after
statements, among other things that disagree with Git's conventions.

We even have to silence some GCC warnings in non-DEVELOPER mode. For
example, the `-Wno-array-bounds` flag is needed because in `-O2` builds,
trying to call `NtCurrentTeb()` (which `_mi_thread_id()` does on
Windows) causes the bogus warning about a system header, likely related
to https://sourceforge.net/p/mingw-w64/mailman/message/37674519/ and to
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=99578:

C:/git-sdk-64-minimal/mingw64/include/psdk_inc/intrin-impl.h:838:1:
        error: array subscript 0 is outside array bounds of 'long long unsigned int[0]' [-Werror=array-bounds]
  838 | __buildreadseg(__readgsqword, unsigned __int64, "gs", "q")
      | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Also: The `mimalloc` library uses C11-style atomics, therefore we must
require that standard when compiling with GCC if we want to use
`mimalloc` (instead of requiring "only" C99). This is what we do in the
CMake definition already, therefore this commit does not need to touch
`contrib/buildsystems/`.

82ef6ca538 clean: do not traverse mount points
It seems to be not exactly rare on Windows to install NTFS junction
points (the equivalent of "bind mounts" on Linux/Unix) in worktrees,
e.g. to map some development tools into a subdirectory.

In such a scenario, it is pretty horrible if `git clean -dfx` traverses
into the mapped directory and starts to "clean up".

Let's just not do that. Let's make sure before we traverse into a
directory that it is not a mount point (or junction).
