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.

This topic branch allows `add -p` and `add -i` with a large number of
files. It is kind of a hack that was never really meant to be
upstreamed. Let's see if we can do better in the built-in `add -p`.

When running Git for Windows on a remote APFS filesystem, it would
appear that the `mingw_open_append()`/`write()` combination would fail
almost exactly like on some CIFS-mounted shares as had been reported in
https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/issues/2753, albeit with a
different `errno` value.
Let's handle that `errno` value just the same, by suggesting to set
`windows.appendAtomically=false`.

containers).

This topic branch allows us to specify absolute paths without the drive
prefix e.g. when cloning.
Example:
C:\Users\me> git clone https://github.com/git/git \upstream-git
This will clone into a new directory C:\upstream-git, in line with how
Windows interprets absolute paths.

This will help with Git for Windows' maintenance going forward: It
allows Git for Windows to switch its primary libcurl to a variant
without the OpenSSL backend, while still loading an alternate when
setting `http.sslBackend = openssl`.
This is necessary to avoid maintenance headaches with upgrading OpenSSL:
its major version name is encoded in the shared library's file name and
hence major version updates (temporarily) break libraries that are
linked against the OpenSSL library.

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.

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.

In f9b7573f6b (repository: free fields before overwriting them,
2017-09-05), Git was taught to release memory before overwriting it, but
357a03ebe9 (repository.c: move env-related setup code back to
environment.c, 2018-03-03) changed the code so that it would not
_always_ be overwritten.
As a consequence, the `commondir` attribute would point to
already-free()d memory.
This seems not to cause problems in core Git, but there are add-on
patches in Git for Windows where the `commondir` attribute is
subsequently used and causing invalid memory accesses e.g. in setups
containing old-style submodules (i.e. the ones with a `.git` directory
within theirs worktrees) that have `commondir` configured.
This fixes https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/pull/4083.

The previous commits introduced a compile-time option to load libcurl
lazily, but it uses the hard-coded name "libcurl-4.dll" (or equivalent
on platforms other than Windows).
To allow for installing multiple libcurl flavors side by side, where
each supports one specific SSL/TLS backend, let's first look whether
`libcurl-<backend>-4.dll` exists, and only use `libcurl-4.dll` as a fall
back.
That will allow us to ship with a libcurl by default that only supports
the Secure Channel backend for the `https://` protocol. This libcurl
won't suffer from any dependency problem when upgrading OpenSSL to a new
major version (which will change the DLL name, and hence break every
program and library that depends on it).
This is crucial because Git for Windows relies on libcurl to keep
working when building and deploying a new OpenSSL package because that
library is used by `git fetch` and `git clone`.
Note that this feature is by no means specific to Windows. On Ubuntu,
for example, a `git` built using `LAZY_LOAD_LIBCURL` will use
`libcurl.so.4` for `http.sslbackend=openssl` and `libcurl-gnutls.so.4`
for `http.sslbackend=gnutls`.

This implements the Windows-specific support code, because everything is
slightly different on Windows, even loading shared libraries.
Note: I specifically do _not_ use the code from
`compat/win32/lazyload.h` here because that code is optimized for
loading individual functions from various system DLLs, while we
specifically want to load _many_ functions from _one_ DLL here, and
distinctly not a system DLL (we expect libcurl to be located outside
`C:\Windows\system32`, something `INIT_PROC_ADDR` refuses to work with).
Also, the `curl_easy_getinfo()`/`curl_easy_setopt()` functions are
declared as vararg functions, which `lazyload.h` cannot handle. Finally,
we are about to optionally override the exact file name that is to be
loaded, which is a goal contrary to `lazyload.h`'s design.

This compile-time option allows to ask Git to load libcurl dynamically
at runtime.
Together with a follow-up patch that optionally overrides the file name
depending on the `http.sslBackend` setting, this kicks open the door for
installing multiple libcurl flavors side by side, and load the one
corresponding to the (runtime-)configured SSL/TLS backend.

Whith Windows 2000, Microsoft introduced a flag to the PE header to mark executables as
"terminal server aware". Windows terminal servers provide a redirected Windows directory and
redirected registry hives when launching legacy applications without this flag set. Since we
do not use any INI files in the Windows directory and don't write to the registry, we don't
need this additional preparation. Telling the OS that we don't need this should provide
slightly improved startup times in terminal server environments.
When building for supported Windows Versions with MSVC the /TSAWARE linker flag is
automatically set, but MinGW requires us to set the --tsaware flag manually.
This partially addresses https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/issues/3935.

This is inspired by d051ed77ee (.github/workflows/main.yml: run
static-analysis on bionic, 2021-02-08) and by ef46584831 (ci: update
'static-analysis' to Ubuntu 22.04, 2022-08-23), adapted to the Azure
Pipeline.
When Azure Pipelines' build agents transitioned 'ubuntu-latest' from
18.04 to 20.04, it broke our `static-analysis` job, since Coccinelle
was not madeavailable on Ubuntu focal (it is only available in the
universe suite).
This is not an issue with Ubuntu 22.04, but we will only know whether it
is an issue with 24.04 when _that_ comes out. So let's play it safe and
pin the `static_analysis` job to the latest Ubuntu version that we know
to offer a working Coccinelle package.
