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.

This topic branch allows us to specify absolute paths without the drive
prefix e.g. when cloning.
Example:
C:\Users\me> git clone https://github.com/git/git \upstream-git
This will clone into a new directory C:\upstream-git, in line with how
Windows interprets absolute paths.

Git for Windows is compiled with a runtime prefix, and that runtime
prefix is typically `C:/Program Files/Git/mingw64`. As we want the
system gitconfig to live in the sibling directory `etc`, we define the
relative path as `../etc/gitconfig`.
However, as reported by Philip Oakley, the output of `git config
--show-origin --system -l` looks rather ugly, as it shows the path as
`file:C:/Program Files/Git/mingw64/../etc/gitconfig`, i.e. with the
`mingw64/../` part.
By normalizing the path, we get a prettier path.

Git for Windows' prefix is `/mingw64/` (or `/mingw32/` for 32-bit
versions), therefore the system config is located at the clunky location
`C:\Program Files\Git\mingw64\etc\gitconfig`.
This moves the system config into a more logical location: the `mingw64`
part of `C:\Program Files\Git\mingw64\etc\gitconfig` never made sense,
as it is a mere implementation detail. Let's skip the `mingw64` part and
move this to `C:\Program Files\Git\etc\gitconfig`.
Side note: in the rare (and not recommended) case a user chooses to
install 32-bit Git for Windows on a 64-bit system, the path will of
course be `C:\Program Files (x86)\Git\etc\gitconfig`.
Background: During the Git for Windows v1.x days, the system config was
located at `C:\Program Files (x86)\Git\etc\gitconfig`. With Git for
Windows v2.x, it moved to `C:\Program Files\Git\mingw64\gitconfig` (or
`C:\Program Files (x86)\Git\mingw32\gitconfig`). Rather than fixing it
back then, we tried to introduce a "Windows-wide" config, but that never
caught on.
Likewise, we move the system `gitattributes` into the same directory.
Obviously, we are cautious to do this only for the known install
locations `/mingw64` and `/mingw32`; If anybody wants to override that
while building their version of Git (e.g. via `make prefix=$HOME`), we
leave the default location of the system config and gitattributes alone.

Windows' equivalent to "bind mounts", NTFS junction points, can be
unlinked without affecting the mount target. This is clearly what users
expect to happen when they call `git clean -dfx` in a worktree that
contains NTFS junction points: the junction should be removed, and the
target directory of said junction should be left alone (unless it is
inside the worktree).

From the documentation of said setting:
This boolean will enable fsync() when writing object files.
This is a total waste of time and effort on a filesystem that
orders data writes properly, but can be useful for filesystems
that do not use journalling (traditional UNIX filesystems) or
that only journal metadata and not file contents (OS X’s HFS+,
or Linux ext3 with "data=writeback").
The most common file system on Windows (NTFS) does not guarantee that
order, therefore a sudden loss of power (or any other event causing an
unclean shutdown) would cause corrupt files (i.e. files filled with
NULs). Therefore we need to change the default.
Note that the documentation makes it sound as if this causes really bad
performance. In reality, writing loose objects is something that is done
only rarely, and only a handful of files at a time.

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).

To avoid running into command line limitations, some of Git's commands
support the `--stdin` option.
Let's use exactly this option in the three rev-list/log invocations in
gitk that would otherwise possibly run the danger of trying to invoke a
too-long command line.
While it is easy to redirect either stdin or stdout in Tcl/Tk scripts,
what we need here is both. We need to capture the output, yet we also
need to pipe in the revs/files arguments via stdin (because stdin does
not have any limit, unlike the command line). To help this, we use the
neat Tcl feature where you can capture stdout and at the same time feed
a fixed string as stdin to the spawned process.
One non-obvious aspect about this change is that the `--stdin` option
allows to specify revs, the double-dash, and files, but *no* other
options such as `--not`. This is addressed by prefixing the "negative"
revs with `^` explicitly rather than relying on the `--not` option
(thanks for coming up with that idea, Max!).

MinGit for Windows comes without `gzip` bundled inside, git-archive uses
`gzip -cn` to compress tar files but for this to work, gzip needs to be
present on the host system.
In the next commit, we will change the gzip compression so that we no
longer spawn `gzip` but let zlib perform the compression in the same
process instead.
In preparation for this, we consolidate all the block writes into a
single function.

On Windows, there are several categories of absolute paths. One such
category starts with a backslash and is implicitly relative to the
drive associated with the current working directory. Example:
c:
git clone https://github.com/git-for-windows/git \G4W
should clone into C:\G4W.
There is currently a problem with that, in that mingw_mktemp() does not
expect the _wmktemp() function to prefix the absolute path with the
drive prefix, and as a consequence, the resulting path does not fit into
the originally-passed string buffer. The symptom is a "Result too large"
error.

Teach register_rename_src() to see if new file pair
can simply be appended to the rename_src[] array before
performing the binary search to find the proper insertion
point.
This is a performance optimization. This routine is called
during run_diff_files in status and the caller is iterating
over the sorted index, so we should expect to be able to
append in the normal case. The existing insert logic is
preserved so we don't have to assume that, but simply take
advantage of it if possible.

After importing anything with fast-import, we should always let the
garbage collector do its job, since the objects are written to disk
inefficiently.
This brings down an initial import of http://selenic.com/hg from about

In the future, we may want to make this configurable on a per-remote
basis, or maybe teach fast-import about it in the first place.

When `master` is tagged, and then both `master` and the tag are pushed,
Travis CI will happily build both. That is a waste of energy, which is
why we skip the build for `master` in that case.
Our GitHub workflow is also triggered by tags. However, the run would
fail because the `windows-test` jobs are _not_ skipped on tags, but the
`windows-build` job _is skipped (and therefore fails to upload the
build artifacts needed by the test jobs).
In addition, we just added logic to our GitHub workflow that will skip
runs altogether if there is already a successful run for the same commit
or at least for the same tree.
Let's just change the GitHub workflow to no longer specifically skip
tagged revisions.
