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.

This topic branch allows `add -p` and `add -i` with a large number of
files. It is kind of a hack that was never really meant to be
upstreamed. Let's see if we can do better in the built-in `add -p`.

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.

These fixes were necessary for Sverre Rabbelier's remote-hg to work,
but for some magic reason they are not necessary for the current
remote-hg. Makes you wonder how that one gets away with it.

We used to have that `make vcxproj` hack, but a hack it is. In the
meantime, we have a much cleaner solution: using CMake, either
explicitly, or even more conveniently via Visual Studio's built-in CMake
support (simply open Git's top-level directory via File>Open>Folder...).
Let's let the `README` reflect this.

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.

We now have a GitHub Action to download and cache Azure Pipelines
artifacts (such as the `vcpkg` artifacts), hiding gnarly internals, and
also providing some robustness against network glitches. Let's use it.

As mentioned in the Makefile and CMakeLists.txt: "When cross-compiling, define HOST_CPU as the canonical name of the CPU on which the built Git will run (for instance "x86_64")"
This commit sets the HOST_CPU variable since Git for Windows arm64 is cross-compiled from an amd64 host.

The vcpkg_install batch file depends on the availability of a
working Git on the CMD path. This may not be present if the user
has selected the 'bash only' option during Git-for-Windows install.
Detect and tell the user about their lack of a working Git in the CMD
window.
Fixes#2348.

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.

This simplifies the workflow dramatically.
Note that we have to reinstate that `/usr/bin/git` hack (a shell script
that simply redirects to `/mingw64/bin/git.exe`) in the `pkg` job
manually, since we no longer cache the `build-installers` artifact
_after_ installing that hack in `bundle-artifacts`.

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.
