Move the default `-ENTRY` and `-SUBSYSTEM` arguments for
MSVC=1 builds from `config.mak.uname` into `clink.pl`.
These args are constant for console-mode executables.
Add support to `clink.pl` for generating a Win32 GUI application
using the `-mwindows` argument (to match how GCC does it). This
changes the `-ENTRY` and `-SUBSYSTEM` arguments accordingly.

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.

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/`.

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.

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/`.

When serving a push, git-receive-pack(1) needs to verify that the
packfile sent by the client contains all objects that are required by
the updated references. This connectivity check works by marking all
preexisting references as uninteresting and using the new reference tips
as starting point for a graph walk.
Marking all preexisting references as uninteresting can be a problem
when it comes to performance. Git forges tend to do internal bookkeeping
to keep alive sets of objects for internal use or make them easy to find
via certain references. These references are typically hidden away from
the user so that they are neither advertised nor writeable. At GitLab,
we have one particular repository that contains a total of 7 million
references, of which 6.8 million are indeed internal references. With
the current connectivity check we are forced to load all these
references in order to mark them as uninteresting, and this alone takes
around 15 seconds to compute.
We can optimize this by only taking into account the set of visible refs
when marking objects as uninteresting. This means that we may now walk
more objects until we hit any object that is marked as uninteresting.
But it is rather unlikely that clients send objects that make large
parts of objects reachable that have previously only ever been hidden,
whereas the common case is to push incremental changes that build on top
of the visible object graph.
This provides a huge boost to performance in the mentioned repository,
where the vast majority of its refs hidden. Pushing a new commit into
this repo with `transfer.hideRefs` set up to hide 6.8 million of 7 refs
as it is configured in Gitaly leads to a 4.5-fold speedup:
Benchmark 1: main
Time (mean ± σ): 30.977 s ± 0.157 s [User: 30.226 s, System: 1.083 s]

As we mostly go through the same codepaths even in the case where there
are no hidden refs at all compared to the code before there is no change
in performance when no refs are hidden:

and it makes sense to reuse much of the same architecture for both kinds
of exclusion.
