We do have the excellent GetUserInfoEx() function to obtain more
detailed information of the current user (if the user is part of a
Windows domain); Let's use it.
Suggested by Lutz Roeder.
To avoid the cost of loading Secur32.dll (even lazily, loading DLLs
takes a non-neglibile amount of time), we use the established technique
to load DLLs only when, and if, needed.

This topic branch addresses the bug where Git for Windows 2.x' Git GUI
failed to generate a working shortcut via Repository>Create Desktop
Shortcut.
Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de>
When calling `Repository>Create Desktop Shortcut`, Git GUI assumes
that it is okay to call `wish.exe` directly on Windows. However, in
Git for Windows 2.x' context, that leaves several crucial environment
variables uninitialized, resulting in a shortcut that does not work.
To fix those environment variable woes, Git for Windows comes with a
convenient `git-gui.exe`, so let's just use it when it is available.
This fixes https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/issues/448

`$HOME/bin/` is quite convenient a place to put user-specific Git
helpers, such as credential or remote helpers.
When run in Git Bash, it is therefore already appended to the PATH;
Let's do the equivalent when run in Git CMD: when `git.exe` is
called, Git is told to look also for scripts and programs in
`$HOME/bin` (this does not modify Git CMD's `PATH`, of course).

We no longer use any of MSVCRT's stat-functions, so there's no need to
stick to a CRT-compatible 'struct stat' either.
Define and use our own POSIX-2013-compatible 'struct stat' with nanosecond-
precision file times.
Note: Due to performance issues when using git variants with different file
time resolutions, this patch does *not* yet enable nanosecond precision in
the Makefile (use 'make USE_NSEC=1').

fstat() is the only stat-related CRT function for which we don't have a
full replacement yet (and thus the only reason to stick with MSVCRT's
'struct stat' definition).
Fully implement fstat(), in preparation of implementing a POSIX 2013
compatible 'struct stat' with nanosecond-precision file times.

The quoting rules of `cmd.exe` are really, really quirky. In particular,
if there are more than two quotes, the entire set of rules changes. That
is the reason why
CMD /C "C:\Program Files\Git\usr\bin\bash.exe" -l -i
works, but
CMD /C "C:\Program Files\Git\usr\bin\bash.exe" -l -i "test.sh"
fails with this error message:
'C:\Program' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
The recommended fix is to pass the /S option to `cmd.exe` and surround
the entire command-line by an extra set of quotes. And here lies the
rub: for that to work, we have to append an extra quote. At the end of
the command-line. *After* the last argument was appended, if any.
This commit supports that use case by introducing the option
"APPEND_QUOTE". The intended usage is to use the following string
resource:
SHOW_CONSOLE=1 APPEND_QUOTE=1
@@COMSPEC@@ /S /C \"\"@@EXEPATH@@\\usr\\bin\\bash.exe\" --login -i
(Note that there are only three quotes on that command-line, the fourth
to be appended due to the `APPEND_QUOTE` setting.)
This is (1/3) to fix https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/issues/396

This makes sure that Git's idea of the current working directory matches
what is recorded on disk (which should be the same as Git's idea).
This helps in particular PowerShell users where the current working
directory can differ in case from what's stored on disk.

When switching the current working directory, say, in PowerShell, it is
quite possible to use a different capitalization than the one that is
recorded on disk. While doing the same in `cmd.exe` adjusts the
capitalization magically, that does not happen in PowerShell so that
`getcwd()` returns the current directory in a different way than is
recorded on disk.
Typically this creates no problems except when you call
git log .
in a subdirectory called, say, "GIT/" but you switched to "Git/" and
your `getcwd()` reports the latter, then Git won't understand that you
wanted to see the history as per the `GIT/` subdirectory but it thinks you
wanted to see the history of some directory that may have existed in the
past (but actually never did).
So let's be extra careful to adjust the capitalization of the current
directory before working with it.
Reported by a few PowerShell power users ;-)

The Git wrapper is also used as a redirector for Git for Windows'
bin\bash.exe dropin: for backwards-compatibility, bin\bash.exe exists
and simply sets up the environment variables before executing the
*real* bash.
However, due to our logic to use the directory in which the `.exe`
lives as top-level directory (or one directory below for certain, known
basenames such as `git.exe` and `gitk.exe`), the `PATH` environment
variable was prefixed with the `/bin/bin` and `/bin/mingw/bin`
directories -- which makes no sense.
Instead, let's just auto-detect the top-level directory in the common
case.

We should not conflate the 'exepath' with the 'top-level
directory'. The former should be the directory in which the executable
lives while the latter should be the top-level directory ("POSIX root
directory") as far as Git is concerned.

Just like we support having alternates pointing to different drives, we
want to support alternates pointing to network shares, i.e. UNC paths.
Technically, what we do in this patch is not to support UNC alternates,
but to support UNC paths when normalizing paths. But the latter implies
the former, and the former really was the motivation for this patch.

Git only colours the output and uses pagination if isatty() returns 1.
MSys and Cygwin emulate pseudo terminals via named pipes, meaning that
isatty() returns 0.
Commit 3adef8de55 fixed this for MSys
terminals, but not Cygwin.
The named pipes that Cygwin and Msys use are very similar. MSys PTY pipes
are called 'msys-*-pty*' and Cygwin uses 'cygwin-*-pty*'. This commit
modifies the existing check to allow both MSys and Cygwin PTY pipes to be
identified as TTYs.
Note that Pagination is still broken on Cygwin. less.exe is spawned (as
seen in Process Explorer and using GIT_TRACE=1), but the output is not
being piped into it.

Windows 7 allows users to pin running applications to the task bar. By
setting the application ID, multiple processes can share a single task
bar entry, and this is exactly what we need for `git-bash.exe` which
wants to share the task bar entry with the `mintty.exe` instance it
launches.

Use msysGit's `git-wrapper` instead of the builtins. This works around
two issues:
- when the file system does not allow hard links, we would waste over
800 megabyte by having 109 copies of a multi-megabyte executable
- even when the file system allows hard links, the Windows Explorer
counts the disk usage as if it did not. Many users complained about
Git for Windows using too much space (when it actually did not). We
can easily avoid those user complaints by merging this branch.
