bf410ee6da CMakeLists: add default "x64-windows" arch for Visual Studio
In Git-for-Windows, work on using ARM64 has progressed. The
commit 2d94b77b27 (cmake: allow building for Windows/ARM64, 2020-12-04)
failed to notice that /compat/vcbuild/vcpkg_install.bat will default to
using the "x64-windows" architecture for the vcpkg installation if not set,
but CMake is not told of this default. Commit 635b6d99b3 (vcbuild: install
ARM64 dependencies when building ARM64 binaries, 2020-01-31) later updated
vcpkg_install.bat to accept an arch (%1) parameter, but retained the default.

This default is neccessary for the use case where the project directory is
opened directly in Visual Studio, which will find and build a CMakeLists.txt
file without any parameters, thus expecting use of the default setting.

Also Visual studio will generate internal .sln solution and .vcxproj project
files needed for some extension tools. Inform users of the additional
.sln/.vcxproj generation.

** How to test:
 rm -rf '.vs' # remove old visual studio settings
 rm -rf 'compat/vcbuild/vcpkg' # remove any vcpkg downloads
 rm -rf 'contrib/buildsystems/out' # remove builds & CMake artifacts
 with a fresh Visual Studio Community Edition, File>>Open>>(git *folder*)
   to load the project (which will take some time!).
 check for successful compilation.
The implicit .sln (etc.) are in the hidden .vs directory created by
Visual Studio.

a42f7c5783 hash-object: demonstrate a >4GB/LLP64 problem
On LLP64 systems, such as Windows, the size of `long`, `int`, etc. is
only 32 bits (for backward compatibility). Git's use of `unsigned long`
for file memory sizes in many places, rather than size_t, limits the
handling of large files on LLP64 systems (commonly given as `>4GB`).

Provide a minimum test for handling a >4GB file. The `hash-object`
command, with the  `--literally` and without `-w` option avoids
writing the object, either loose or packed. This avoids the code paths
hitting the `bigFileThreshold` config test code, the zlib code, and the
pack code.

Subsequent patches will walk the test's call chain, converting types to
`size_t` (which is larger in LLP64 data models) where appropriate.

cd537f5fd0 ci: run contrib/subtree tests in CI builds
Because `git subtree` (unlike most other `contrib` modules) is included as
part of the standard release of Git for Windows, its stability should be
verified as consistently as it is for the rest of git. By including the
`git subtree` tests in the CI workflow, these tests are as much of a gate to
merging and indicator of stability as the standard test suite.

36964620ef http: optionally send SSL client certificate
This adds support for a new http.sslAutoClientCert config value.

In cURL 7.77 or later the schannel backend does not automatically send
client certificates from the Windows Certificate Store anymore.

This config value is only used if http.sslBackend is set to "schannel",
and can be used to opt in to the old behavior and force cURL to send
client certificates.

f3f8c5aa20 compat/vcbuild: document preferred way to build in Visual Studio
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.

1d76420ddc CMake: default Visual Studio generator has changed
Correct some wording and inform users regarding the Visual Studio
changes (from V16.6) to the default generator.

Subsequent commits ensure that Git for Windows can be directly
opened in modern Visual Studio without needing special configuration
of the CMakeLists settings.

It appeares that internally Visual Studio creates it's own version of the
.sln file (etc.) for extension tools that expect them.

The large number of references below document the shifting of Visual Studio
default and CMake setting options.

aee8fa891a mingw: allow for longer paths in parse_interpreter()

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.

c0576d3571 cmake(): allow setting HOST_CPU for cross-compilation
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.

39f0b435de http: use new "best effort" strategy for Secure Channel revoke checking
The native Windows HTTPS backend is based on Secure Channel which lets
the caller decide how to handle revocation checking problems caused by
missing information in the certificate or offline CRL distribution
points.

Unfortunately, cURL chose to handle these problems differently than
OpenSSL by default: while OpenSSL happily ignores those problems
(essentially saying "¯\_(ツ)_/¯"), the Secure Channel backend will error
out instead.

As a remedy, the "no revoke" mode was introduced, which turns off
revocation checking altogether. This is a bit heavy-handed. We support
this via the `http.schannelCheckRevoke` setting.

In https://github.com/curl/curl/pull/4981, we contributed an opt-in
"best effort" strategy that emulates what OpenSSL seems to do.

In Git for Windows, we actually want this to be the default. This patch

9e5e8306d5 mingw: ignore HOMEDRIVE/HOMEPATH if it points to Windows' system directory
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.

This fixes git-for-windows#2709

80e60bb0f0 t5505/t5516: allow running without .git/branches/ in the templates
When we commit the template directory as part of `make vcxproj`, the
`branches/` directory is not actually commited, as it is empty.

Two tests were not prepared for that situation.

This developer tried to get rid of the support for `.git/branches/` a
long time ago, but that effort did not bear fruit, so the best we can do
is work around in these here tests.

78aca51532 mingw: allow git.exe to be used instead of the "Git wrapper"
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/`.

ac698b84f3 vcxproj: unclash project directories with build outputs
It already caused problems with the test suite that the directory
containing `git.vcxproj` is called the same as the Git executable
without its file extension: `./git` is ambiguous, it could refer both to
the directory `git/` as well as to `git.exe`.

Now there is one more problem: when our GitHub workflow runs on the
`vs/master` branch, it fails in all but the Windows builds, as they want
to write the file `git` but there is already a directory in the way.

Let's just go ahead and append `.proj` to all of those directories, e.g.
`git.proj/` instead of `git/`.

0b77572f3a mingw: do resolve symlinks in getcwd()
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.

3affab3d49 mingw: ensure valid CTYPE
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.

28d05689e5 mingw: demonstrate a git add issue with NTFS junctions
NTFS junctions are somewhat similar in spirit to Unix bind mounts: they
point to a different directory and are resolved by the filesystem
driver. As such, they appear to `lstat()` as if they are directories,
not as if they are symbolic links.

_Any_ user can create junctions, while symbolic links can only be
created by non-administrators in Developer Mode on Windows 10. Hence
NTFS junctions are much more common "in the wild" than NTFS symbolic
links.

It was reported in https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/issues/2481
that adding files via an absolute path that traverses an NTFS junction:
since 1e64d18 (mingw: do resolve symlinks in `getcwd()`), we resolve not
only symbolic links but also NTFS junctions when determining the
absolute path of the current directory. The same is not true for `git
add <file>`, where symbolic links are resolved in `<file>`, but not NTFS
junctions.

4e2e13176e mingw: make sure errno is set correctly when socket operations fail
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()`.

Let's translate that into appropriate `errno` values whenever the socket
operations fail so that Git's code base does not have to change its
expectations.
