This branch introduces support for reading the "Windows-wide" Git
configuration from `%PROGRAMDATA%\Git\config`. As these settings are
intended to be shared between *all* Git-related software, that config
file takes an even lower precedence than `$(prefix)/etc/gitconfig`.

On Windows, there is no (single) `/etc/` directory. To address that, in
conjunction with the libgit2 project, Git for Windows introduced yet
another level of system-wide config files, located in C:\ProgramData
(and the equivalent on Windows XP).
Let's spell this out in the documentation.
This closes https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/pull/470 (because
there was no reaction in three months in that Pull Request).

`GetLongPathName()` function may fail when it is unable to query
the parent directory of a path component to determine the long name
for that component. It happens, because of it uses `FindFirstFile()`
function for each next short part of path. The `FindFirstFile()`
requires `List Directory` and `Synchronize` desired access for a calling
process.
In case of lacking such permission for some part of path,
the `GetLongPathName()` returns 0 as result and `GetLastError()`
returns ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED.
`GetFinalPathNameByHandle()` function can help in such cases, because
it requires `Read Attributes` and `Synchronize` desired access to the
target path only.
The `GetFinalPathNameByHandle()` function was introduced on
`Windows Server 2008/Windows Vista`. So we need to load it dynamically.
`CreateFile()` parameters:
`lpFileName` = path to the current directory
`dwDesiredAccess` = 0 (it means `Read Attributes` and `Synchronize`)
`dwShareMode` = FILE_SHARE_READ | FILE_SHARE_WRITE | FILE_SHARE_DELETE
(it prevents `Sharing Violation`)
`lpSecurityAttributes` = NULL (default security attributes)
`dwCreationDisposition` = OPEN_EXISTING
(required to obtain a directory handle)
`dwFlagsAndAttributes` = FILE_FLAG_BACKUP_SEMANTICS
(required to obtain a directory handle)
`hTemplateFile` = NULL (when opening an existing file or directory,
`CreateFile` ignores this parameter)
The string that is returned by `GetFinalPathNameByHandle()` function
uses the \\?\ syntax. To skip the prefix and convert backslashes
to slashes, the `normalize_ntpath()` mingw function will be used.
Note: `GetFinalPathNameByHandle()` function returns a final path.
It is the path that is returned when a path is fully resolved.
For example, for a symbolic link named "C:\tmp\mydir" that points to
"D:\yourdir", the final path would be "D:\yourdir".

Between the libgit2 and the Git for Windows project, there has been a
discussion how we could share Git configuration to avoid duplication (or
worse: skew).
Earlier, libgit2 was nice enough to just re-use Git for Windows'
C:\Program Files (x86)\Git\etc\gitconfig
but with the upcoming Git for Windows 2.x, there would be more paths to
search, as we will have 64-bit and 32-bit versions, and the
corresponding config files will be in %PROGRAMFILES%\Git\mingw64\etc and
...\mingw32\etc, respectively.
Worse: there are portable Git for Windows versions out there which live
in totally unrelated directories, still.
Therefore we came to a consensus to use `%PROGRAMDATA%\Git\config` as the
location for shared Git settings that are of wider interest than just Git
for Windows.
On XP, there is no %PROGRAMDATA%, therefore we need to use
"%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Application Data\Git\config" in those setups.
Of course, the configuration in `%PROGRAMDATA%\Git\config` has the
widest reach, therefore it must take the lowest precedence, i.e. Git for
Windows can still override settings in its `etc/gitconfig` file.

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 ;-)

We no longer use any of MSVCRT's stat-functions, so there's no need to

Define and use our own POSIX-2013-compatible 'struct stat' with nanosecond-

Note: Due to performance issues when using git variants with different file

The contract for the stat() and lstat() function is:

stat() should always return the statistics of the file or directory a
symbolic link is pointing to. The lstat() function is used to get the
stats for the symlink. Hence the check should not be there.

This is needed so that `_wchdir()` can be used with drive root
directories, e.g. C:\ (`_wchdir("C:")` fails to switch the directory
to the root directory).
This fixes https://github.com/msysgit/git/issues/359 (in Git for Windows
2.x only, though).
Likewise, `readlink()`'s semantics require a trailing slash for symbolic
links pointing to directories. Otherwise all checked out symbolic links
pointing to directories would be marked as modified even directly after a
fresh clone.

Symlinks on Windows have a flag that indicates whether the target is a file
or a directory. Symlinks of wrong type simply don't work. This even affects
core Win32 APIs (e.g. DeleteFile() refuses to delete directory symlinks).
However, CreateFile() with FILE_FLAG_BACKUP_SEMANTICS doesn't seem to care.
Check the target type by first creating a tentative file symlink, opening
it, and checking the type of the resulting handle. If it is a directory,
recreate the symlink with the directory flag set.
It is possible to create symlinks before the target exists (or in case of
symlinks to symlinks: before the target type is known). If this happens,
create a tentative file symlink and postpone the directory decision: keep
a list of phantom symlinks to be processed whenever a new directory is
created in mingw_mkdir().
Limitations: This algorithm may fail if a link target changes from file to
directory or vice versa, or if the target directory is created in another
process.

If symlinks are enabled, resolve all symlinks when changing directories,
as required by POSIX.
Note: Git's real_path() function bases its link resolution algorithm on
this property of chdir(). Unfortunately, the current directory on Windows
is limited to only MAX_PATH (260) characters. Therefore using symlinks and
long paths in combination may be problematic.

Windows Vista. Thus, for compatibility with Windows XP, we need to load it

Symlinks on Windows don't work the same way as on Unix systems. E.g. there
are different types of symlinks for directories and files, creating
symlinks requires administrative privileges etc.
By default, disable symlink support on Windows. I.e. users explicitly have
to enable it with 'git config [--system|--global] core.symlinks true'.
The test suite ignores system / global config files. Allow testing *with*
symlink support by checking if native symlinks are enabled in MSys2 (via
'MSYS=winsymlinks:nativestrict').
Reminder: This would need to be changed if / when we find a way to run the
test suite in a non-MSys-based shell (e.g. dash).

The retry pattern is duplicated in three places. It also seems to be too
hard to use: mingw_unlink() and mingw_rmdir() duplicate the code to retry,
and both of them do so incompletely. They also do not restore errno if the
user answers 'no'.
Introduce a retry_ask_yes_no() helper function that handles retry with
small delay, asking the user, and restoring errno.
mingw_unlink: include _wchmod in the retry loop (which may fail if the
file is locked exclusively).
mingw_rmdir: include special error handling in the retry loop.

Git typically doesn't trust the stat.st_size member of symlinks (e.g. see
strbuf_readlink()). However, some functions take shortcuts if st_size is 0
(e.g. diff_populate_filespec()).
In mingw_lstat() and fscache_lstat(), make sure to return an adequate size.
The extra overhead of opening and reading the reparse point to calculate
the exact size is not necessary, as git doesn't rely on the value anyway.

When obtaining lstat information for reparse points, we need to call
FindFirstFile() in addition to GetFileInformationEx() to obtain the type
of the reparse point (symlink, mount point etc.). However, currently there
is no error handling whatsoever if FindFirstFile() fails.
Call FindFirstFile() before modifying the stat *buf output parameter and
error out if the call fails.
Note: The FindFirstFile() return value includes all the data that we get
from GetFileAttributesEx(), so we could replace GetFileAttributesEx() with
FindFirstFile(). We don't do that because GetFileAttributesEx() is about
twice as fast for single files. I.e. we only pay the extra cost of calling
FindFirstFile() in the rare case that we encounter a reparse point.
Note: The indentation of the remaining reparse point code will be fixed in
the next patch.

With respect to symlinks, the current stat() implementation is almost the
same as lstat(): except for the file type (st_mode & S_IFMT), it returns
information about the link rather than the target.
Implement stat by opening the file with as little permissions as possible
and calling GetFileInformationByHandle on it. This way, all link resoltion
is handled by the Windows file system layer.
If symlinks are disabled, use lstat() as before, but fail with ELOOP if a
symlink would have to be resolved.

GetFileAttributes cannot handle paths with trailing dir separator. The
current [l]stat implementation calls GetFileAttributes twice if the path
has trailing slashes (first with the original path passed to [l]stat, and
and a second time with a path copy with trailing '/' removed).
With Unicode conversion, we get the length of the path for free and also
have a (wide char) buffer that can be modified.
Remove trailing directory separators before calling the Win32 API.
