Since Git LFS v3.5.x implicitly dropped Windows 7 support, we now want
users to be advised _what_ is going wrong on that Windows version. This
topic branch goes out of its way to provide users with such guidance.

As per
https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/issues/4350#issuecomment-1485041503,
the major block for upgrading Git for Windows' OpenSSL from v1.1 to v3
is the tricky part where such an upgrade would break `git fetch`/`git
clone` and `git push` because the libcurl depends on the OpenSSL DLL,
and the major version bump will _change_ the file name of said DLL.
To overcome that, the plan is to build libcurl flavors for each
supported SSL/TLS backend, aligning with the way MSYS2 builds libcurl,
then switch Git for Windows' SDK to the Secure Channel-flavored libcurl,
and teach Git to look for the specific flavor of libcurl corresponding
to the `http.sslBackend` setting (if that was configured).
Here is the PR to teach Git that trick.
This is a companion PR of https://github.com/prati0100/git-gui/pull/95
Since Git v2.39.1, we are a bit more stringent in searching the PATH. In
particular, we specifically require the `.exe` suffix.
However, the `Repository>Explore Working Copy` command asks for
`explorer.exe` to be found on the `PATH`, which _already_ has that
suffix.
Let's unstartle the PATH-finding logic about this scenario.
This fixes https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/issues/4356
It is merely a historical wart that, say, `git-commit` exists in the
`libexec/git-core/` directory, a tribute to the original idea to let Git
be essentially a bunch of Unix shell scripts revolving around very few
"plumbing" (AKA low-level) commands.
Git has evolved a lot from there. These days, most of Git's
functionality is contained within the `git` executable, in the form of
"built-in" commands.
To accommodate for scripts that use the "dashed" form of Git commands,
even today, Git provides hard-links that make the `git` executable
available as, say, `git-commit`, just in case that an old script has not
been updated to invoke `git commit`.
Those hard-links do not come cheap: they take about half a minute for
every build of Git on Windows, they are mistaken for taking up huge
amounts of space by some Windows Explorer versions that do not
understand hard-links, and therefore many a "bug" report had to be
addressed.
The "dashed form" has been officially deprecated in Git version 1.5.4,
which was released on February 2nd, 2008, i.e. a very long time ago.
This deprecation was never finalized by skipping these hard-links, but
we can start the process now, in Git for Windows.
This addresses the concern raised in
https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/pull/4185#discussion_r1051661894
It is checked for w.r.t. global repository struct down in the callstack
in compatibility layer for MinGW before being assigned in the function
that `free()`'d it.
**This requires an ARM64-machine with Windows 11 installed (which
supports x64 emulation for MSYS2)**
### The main idea
- Use the main MSYS2/git-sdk-64 setup, which works on Windows 11 on ARM
thanks to x64-emulation
- Configure the official `clangarm64` MSYS2 repo
- Install `mingw-w64-clang-aarch64-toolchain` which contains the
ARM64-native Clang compiler
Add `FileVersion`, which is a required string ([Microsoft
documentation](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/menurc/versioninfo-resource))
in the `StringFileInfo` block.
As not all required strings were present in the block, none were being
included.
Fixes#4090
After including the `FileVersion` string, all other defined strings are
now being included on executables.
File version information for `git.exe` has changed from:

I wasn't really expecting `GIT_VERSION` to contain the Git commit, I was
hoping for just `2.38.1` or `2.38.1.1`, at least for the `FileVersion`
string.
Anybody know if it's possible to concatenate the `MAJOR`, `MINOR`,
`MICRO`, and `PATCHLEVEL` fields with dots, or if there's another
variable that can be used (with or without `PATCHLEVEL`)?
Alternatively, use the complete `GIT_VERSION` for both `FileVersion` and
`ProductVersion`.
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.
Even if CMake is not the canonical way to build Git for Windows, but
CMake support merely exists in Git to support building Git for Windows
using Visual Studio, we should include `headless-git` in such a scenario
when installing the binaries to a given location.
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.

winuser.h contains the definition of RT_MANIFEST that our LLVM based
toolchain needs to understand that we want to embed
compat/win32/git.manifest as an application manifest. It currently just
embeds it as additional data that Windows doesn't understand.
This also helps our GCC based toolchain understand that we only want one
copy embedded. It currently embeds one working assembly manifest and one
nearly identical, but useless copy as additional data.
This also teaches our Visual Studio based buildsystems to pick up the
manifest file from git.rc. This means we don't have to explicitly specify
it in contrib/buildsystems/Generators/Vcxproj.pm anymore. Slightly
counter-intuitively this also means we have to explicitly tell Cmake
not to embed a default manifest.

Move the default `-ENTRY` and `-SUBSYSTEM` arguments for

These args are constant for console-mode executables.
