Rather than using private IFTTT Applets that send mails to this
maintainer whenever a new version of a Git for Windows component was
released, let's use the power of GitHub workflows to make this process
publicly visible.
This workflow monitors the Atom/RSS feeds, and opens a ticket whenever a
new version was released.
Note: Bash sometimes releases multiple patched versions within a few
minutes of each other (i.e. 5.1p1 through 5.1p4, 5.0p15 and 5.0p16). The
MSYS2 runtime also has a similar system. We can address those patches as
a group, so we shouldn't get multiple issues about them.
Note further: We're not acting on newlib releases, OpenSSL alphas, Perl
release candidates or non-stable Perl releases. There's no need to open
issues about them.

Also: direct Git for Windows enhancements to their contributions page,

This patch adds a GitHub workflow (to be triggered manually) to allow

**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
In Git for Windows v2.39.0, we fixed a regression where `git.exe` would
no longer work in Windows Nano Server (frequently used in Docker
containers).
This GitHub workflow can be used to verify manually that the Git/Scalar
executables work in Nano Server.

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.

The "whitespace check" task that was enabled for GitHub Actions CI
has been ported to GitLab CI.
* jt/port-ci-whitespace-check-to-gitlab:
gitlab-ci: add whitespace error check
ci: make the whitespace report optional
ci: separate whitespace check script
github-ci: fix link to whitespace error
ci: pre-collapse GitLab CI sections

* jk/ci-macos-gcc13-fix:
ci: stop installing "gcc-13" for osx-gcc
ci: avoid bare "gcc" for osx-gcc job
ci: drop mention of BREW_INSTALL_PACKAGES variable
Our osx-gcc job explicitly asks to install gcc-13. But since the GitHub
runner image already comes with gcc-13 installed, this is mostly doing
nothing (or in some cases it may install an incremental update over the
runner image). But worse, it recently started causing errors like:
==> Fetching gcc@13
==> Downloading https://ghcr.io/v2/homebrew/core/gcc/13/blobs/sha256:fb2403d97e2ce67eb441b54557cfb61980830f3ba26d4c5a1fe5ecd0c9730d1a
==> Pouring gcc@13--13.2.0.ventura.bottle.tar.gz
Error: The `brew link` step did not complete successfully
The formula built, but is not symlinked into /usr/local
Could not symlink bin/c++-13
Target /usr/local/bin/c++-13
is a symlink belonging to gcc. You can unlink it:
brew unlink gcc
which cause the whole CI job to bail.
I didn't track down the root cause, but I suspect it may be related to
homebrew recently switching the "gcc" default to gcc-14. And it may even
be fixed when a new runner image is released. But if we don't need to
run brew at all, it's one less thing for us to worry about.

On macOS, a bare "gcc" (without a version) will invoke a wrapper for
clang, not actual gcc. Even when gcc is installed via homebrew, that
only provides version-specific links in /usr/local/bin (like "gcc-13"),
and never a version-agnostic "gcc" wrapper.
As far as I can tell, this has been the case for a long time, and this
osx-gcc job has largely been doing nothing. We can point it at "gcc-13",
which will pick up the homebrew-installed version.
The fix here is specific to the github workflow file, as the gitlab one
does not have a matching job.
It's a little unfortunate that we cannot just ask for the latest version
of gcc which homebrew provides, but as far as I can tell there is no
easy alias (you'd have to find the highest number gcc-* in
/usr/local/bin yourself).

When the `check-whitespace` CI job detects whitespace errors, a
formatted summary of the issue is generated. This summary contains links
to the commits and blobs responsible for the whitespace errors. The
generated links for blobs do not work and result in a 404.
Instead of using the reference name in the link, use the commit ID
directly. This fixes the broken link and also helps enable future
generalization of the script for other CI providers by removing one of
the GitHub specific CI variables used.

* jc/github-actions-update:
GitHub Actions: update to github-script@v7

The Docker container used by the `linux32` job comes without Node.js,
and therefore the `actions/checkout` and `actions/upload-artifact`
Actions cannot be upgraded to the latest versions (because they use
Node.js).
One time too many, I accidentally tried to update them, where
`actions/checkout` at least fails immediately, but the
`actions/upload-artifact` step is only used when any test fails, and
therefore the CI run usually passes even though that Action was updated
to a version that is incompatible with the Docker container in which
this job runs.
So let's add a big fat warning, mainly for my own benefit, to avoid
running into the very same issue over and over again.

Contributors using Gitgitgadget continue to send single-commit PRs with
their commit message text duplicated below the three-dash line,
increasing the signal-to-noise ratio for reviewers.
This is because Gitgitgadget copies the pull request description as an
in-patch commentary, for single-commit PRs, and _GitHub_ defaults to
prefilling the pull request description with the commit message, for
single-commit PRs (followed by the content of the pull request
template).
Add a note in the pull request template mentioning that for
single-commit PRs, the PR description should thus be kept empty, in the
hope that contributors read it and act on it.

To prevent bitrot, we would like to regularly exercise the fuzz tests in
order to make sure they still link & run properly. We already compile
the fuzz test objects as part of the default `make` target, but we do
not link the executables due to the fuzz tests needing specific
compilers and compiler features. This has lead to frequent build
breakages for the fuzz tests.
To remedy this, we can add a CI step to actually link the fuzz
executables, and run them (with finite input rather than the default
infinite random input mode) to verify that they execute properly.
Since the main use of the fuzz tests is via OSS-Fuzz [1], and OSS-Fuzz
only runs tests on Linux [2], we only set up a CI test for the fuzzers
on Linux.

In April, GitHub announced that the `macos-13` pool is available:
https://github.blog/changelog/2023-04-24-github-actions-macos-13-is-now-available/.
It is only a matter of time until the `macos-12` pool is going away,
therefore we should switch now, without pressure of a looming deadline.
Since the `macos-13` runners no longer include Python2, we also drop
specifically testing with Python2 and switch uniformly to Python3, see
https://github.com/actions/runner-images/blob/HEAD/images/macos/macos-13-Readme.md
for details about the software available on the `macos-13` pool's
runners.
Also, on macOS 13, Homebrew seems to install a `gcc@9` package that no
longer comes with a regular `unistd.h` (there seems only to be a
`ssp/unistd.h`), and hence builds would fail with:
In file included from base85.c:1:
git-compat-util.h:223:10: fatal error: unistd.h: No such file or directory
223 | #include <unistd.h>
| ^~~~~~~~~~
compilation terminated.
The reason why we install GCC v9.x explicitly is historical, and back in
the days it was because it was the _newest_ version available via
Homebrew: 176441bfb58 (ci: build Git with GCC 9 in the 'osx-gcc' build
job, 2019-11-27).
To reinstate the spirit of that commit _and_ to fix that build failure,
let's switch to the now-newest GCC version: v13.x.
