The first three commits are rebased versions of those in gitgitgadget/git#1215. These allow the following:
1. Fix `git config --global foo.bar <path>` from allowing the `<path>`. As a bonus, users with a config value starting with `/` will not get a warning about "old-style" paths needing a "`%(prefix)/`".
2. When in WSL, the path starts with `/` so it needs to be interpolated properly. Update the warning to include `%(prefix)/` to get the right value for WSL users. (This is specifically for using Git for Windows from Git Bash, but in a WSL directory.)
3. When using WSL, the ownership check fails and reports an error message. This is noisy, and happens even if the user has marked the path with `safe.directory`. Remove that error message.
This topic vendors in mimalloc v2.0.9, a fast allocator that allows Git
for Windows to perform efficiently.
Switch Git for Windows to using mimalloc instead of nedmalloc
This topic branch teaches `git clean` to respect NTFS junctions and Unix
bind mounts: it will now stop at those boundaries.

NtQueryObject under Wine can return a success but fill out no name.
In those situations, Wine will set Buffer to NULL, and set result to
the sizeof(OBJECT_NAME_INFORMATION).
Running a command such as
echo "$(git.exe --version 2>/dev/null)"
will crash due to a NULL pointer dereference when the code attempts to
null terminate the buffer, although, weirdly, removing the subshell or
redirecting stdout to a file will not trigger the crash.
Code has been added to also check Buffer and Length to ensure the check
is as robust as possible due to the current behavior being fragile at
best, and could potentially change in the future
This code is based on the behavior of NtQueryObject under wine and
reactos.

For Windows builds >= 15063 set $env:TERM to "xterm-256color" instead of

this. Also set $env:COLORTERM="truecolor" if unset.
$env:TERM is initialized so that ANSI colors in color.c work, see

In the case of Git for Windows (say, in a Git Bash window) running in a
Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) directory, the GetNamedSecurityInfoW()
call in is_path_owned_By_current_side() returns an error code other than
ERROR_SUCCESS. This is consistent behavior across this boundary.
In these cases, the owner would always be different because the WSL
owner is a different entity than the Windows user.
The change here is to suppress the error message that looks like this:
error: failed to get owner for '//wsl.localhost/...' (1)
Before this change, this warning happens for every Git command,
regardless of whether the directory is marked with safe.directory.

On Windows, there are two kinds of executables, console ones and
non-console ones. Git's executables are all console ones.
When launching the former e.g. in a scheduled task, a CMD window pops
up. This is not what we want for the tasks installed via the `git
maintenance` command.
To work around this, let's introduce `headless-git.exe`, which is a
non-console program that does _not_ pop up any window. All it does is to
re-launch `git.exe`, suppressing that console window, passing through
all command-line arguments as-are.

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.

Git for Windows wants to add `git.exe` to the users' `PATH`, without
cluttering the latter with unnecessary executables such as `wish.exe`.
To that end, it invented the concept of its "Git wrapper", i.e. a tiny
executable located in `C:\Program Files\Git\cmd\git.exe` (originally a
CMD script) whose sole purpose is to set up a couple of environment
variables and then spawn the _actual_ `git.exe` (which nowadays lives in
`C:\Program Files\Git\mingw64\bin\git.exe` for 64-bit, and the obvious
equivalent for 32-bit installations).
Currently, the following environment variables are set unless already
initialized:
- `MSYSTEM`, to make sure that the MSYS2 Bash and the MSYS2 Perl
interpreter behave as expected, and
- `PLINK_PROTOCOL`, to force PuTTY's `plink.exe` to use the SSH
protocol instead of Telnet,
- `PATH`, to make sure that the `bin` folder in the user's home
directory, as well as the `/mingw64/bin` and the `/usr/bin`
directories are included. The trick here is that the `/mingw64/bin/`
and `/usr/bin/` directories are relative to the top-level installation
directory of Git for Windows (which the included Bash interprets as
`/`, i.e. as the MSYS pseudo root directory).
Using the absence of `MSYSTEM` as a tell-tale, we can detect in
`git.exe` whether these environment variables have been initialized
properly. Therefore we can call `C:\Program Files\Git\mingw64\bin\git`
in-place after this change, without having to call Git through the Git
wrapper.
Obviously, above-mentioned directories must be _prepended_ to the `PATH`
variable, otherwise we risk picking up executables from unrelated Git
installations. We do that by constructing the new `PATH` value from
scratch, appending `$HOME/bin` (if `HOME` is set), then the MSYS2 system
directories, and then appending the original `PATH`.
Side note: this modification of the `PATH` variable is independent of
the modification necessary to reach the executables and scripts in
`/mingw64/libexec/git-core/`, i.e. the `GIT_EXEC_PATH`. That
modification is still performed by Git, elsewhere, long after making the
changes described above.
While we _still_ cannot simply hard-link `mingw64\bin\git.exe` to `cmd`
(because the former depends on a couple of `.dll` files that are only in
`mingw64\bin`, i.e. calling `...\cmd\git.exe` would fail to load due to
missing dependencies), at least we can now avoid that extra process of
running the Git wrapper (which then has to wait for the spawned
`git.exe` to finish) by calling `...\mingw64\bin\git.exe` directly, via
its absolute path.
Testing this is in Git's test suite tricky: we set up a "new" MSYS
pseudo-root and copy the `git.exe` file into the appropriate location,
then verify that `MSYSTEM` is set properly, and also that the `PATH` is
modified so that scripts can be found in `$HOME/bin`, `/mingw64/bin/`
and `/usr/bin/`.

A change between versions 2.4.1 and 2.6.0 of the MSYS2 runtime modified
how Cygwin's runtime (and hence Git for Windows' MSYS2 runtime
derivative) handles locales: d16a56306d (Consolidate wctomb/mbtowc calls
for POSIX-1.2008, 2016-07-20).
An unintended side-effect is that "cold-calling" into the POSIX
emulation will start with a locale based on the current code page,
something that Git for Windows is very ill-prepared for, as it expects
to be able to pass a command-line containing non-ASCII characters to the
shell without having those characters munged.
One symptom of this behavior: when `git clone` or `git fetch` shell out
to call `git-upload-pack` with a path that contains non-ASCII
characters, the shell tried to interpret the entire command-line
(including command-line parameters) as executable path, which obviously
must fail.

As pointed out in https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/issues/1676,
the `git rev-parse --is-inside-work-tree` command currently fails when
the current directory's path contains symbolic links.
The underlying reason for this bug is that `getcwd()` is supposed to
resolve symbolic links, but our `mingw_getcwd()` implementation did not.
We do have all the building blocks for that, though: the
`GetFinalPathByHandleW()` function will resolve symbolic links. However,
we only called that function if `GetLongPathNameW()` failed, for
historical reasons: the latter function was supported for a long time,
but the former API function was introduced only with Windows Vista, and
we used to support also Windows XP. With that support having been
dropped, we are free to call the symbolic link-resolving function right
away.

The winsock2 library provides functions that work on different data
types than file descriptors, therefore we wrap them.
But that is not the only difference: they also do not set `errno` but
expect the callers to enquire about errors via `WSAGetLastError()`.

operations fail so that Git's code base does not have to change its
expectations.

Always use the internal "use_weak" random seed when initializing
the "mimalloc" heap when statically linked on Windows.
The imported "mimalloc" routines support several random sources
to seed the heap data structures, including BCrypt.dll and
RtlGenRandom. Crashes have been reported when using BCrypt.dll
if it initialized during an `atexit()` handler function. Granted,
such DLL initialization should not happen in an atexit handler,
but yet the crashes remain.
It should be noted that on Windows when statically linked, the
mimalloc startup code (called by the GCC CRT to initialize static
data prior to calling `main()`) always uses the internal "weak"
random seed. "mimalloc" does not try to load an alternate
random source until after the OS initialization has completed.
Heap data is stored in `__declspec(thread)` TLS data and in theory
each Git thread will have its own heap data. However, testing
shows that the "mimalloc" library doesn't actually call
`os_random_buf()` (to load a new random source) when creating these
new per-thread heap structures.
However, if an atexit handler is forced to run on a non-main
thread, the "mimalloc" library *WILL* try to create a new heap
and seed it with `os_random_buf()`. (The reason for this is still
a mystery to this author.) The `os_random_buf()` call can cause
the (previously uninitialized BCrypt.dll library) to be dynamically
loaded and a call made into it. Crashes have been reported in
v2.40.1.vfs.0.0 while in this call.
As a workaround, the fix here forces the use of the internal
"use_weak" random code for the subsequent `os_random_buf()` calls.
Since we have been using that random generator for the majority
of the program, it seems safe to use it for the final few mallocs
in the atexit handler (of which there really shouldn't be that many.

C++-specific source code, some POSIX compliant functions to interact
with mimalloc, and the code that wants to support auto-magic overriding
