When spawning child processes, we really should be careful which file
handles we let them inherit.
This is doubly important on Windows, where we cannot rename, delete, or
modify files if there is still a file handle open.
Sadly, we have to guard this test inside #ifdef WIN32: we need to use
the value of the HANDLE directly, and that concept does not exist on
Linux/Unix.

Fix racy fsmonitor
The `t7519-status-fsmonitor.sh` tests became a *lot* more flaky with the
recent fsmonitor fix (`js/fsmonitor-refresh-after-discarding-index`).
That fix, however, did not introduce the flakiness, but it just made it
much more likely to be hit. And it seemed to be hit *only* on Windows.
The reason, though, is that the fsmonitor feature failed to mark the
in-memory index as changed, i.e. in need of writing, and it was the
`has_racy_timestamp()` test that hid this bug in most cases (although a
lot less on Windows, where the files' mtimes are actually a lot more
accurate than on Linux).

This topic branch cleans up some left-overs that were forgotten when
removing the scripted `git rebase`.
As these patches are based on top of v2.22.0-rc1 (which *did* drop the
scripted `git-rebase.sh`), instead of v2.21.0 (on which the current `master`
of Git for Windows is based, and which did *not* yet drop the scripted
`git rebase`) it does not make sense to try to backport them to
`master`.

This topic branch is a backport of
https://github.com/gitgitgadget/git/pull/208, which avoids a lock
contention in `git gc --auto` where the `git gc` process holds a read
lock to the `commit-graph` file (if `core.commitgraph=true`) and the
spawned `git commit-graph write` (if `gc.writecommitgraph=true`) tries
to overwrite it.

In Git for Windows, there is an option to mark the .git directory as
hidden. Our test cases verify this by using the system utility
`attrib.exe`.
This file name is unfortunately quite generic, and overlaps with a
Unix-y utility that might be hiding the system one in the `PATH`.
Let's specify explicitly which `attrib` to use.

The environment variable `HOME` is not exactly a native concept on

MSYS2 inherits the trick from Cygwin to pretend that filenames can
contain characters that are illegal on Windows (by mapping them to a
private Unicode page). As long as we stay safely within the MSYS2 realm
(Bash, GNU make, Perl) that is fine, so technically this change is not
needed. But it is a lot more elegant not to rely on this.
Besides, the suffix `.new` is a lot more intuitive than the suffix
`+`...

When compiling Git with a runtime prefix (so that it can be installed
into any location, finding its libexec/ directory relative to the
location of the `git` executable), it is convenient to provide
"absolute" Unix-y paths e.g. for http.sslCAInfo, and have those absolute
paths be resolved relative to the runtime prefix.
This patch makes it so for Windows. It is up for discussion whether we
want this for other platforms, too, as long as building with
RUNTIME_PREFIX.

MSys2's strace facility is very useful for debugging... With this patch,
the bash will be executed through strace if the environment variable
GIT_STRACE_COMMANDS is set, which comes in real handy when investigating
issues in the test suite.
Also support passing a path to a log file via GIT_STRACE_COMMANDS to
force Git to call strace.exe with the `-o <path>` argument, i.e. to log
into a file rather than print the log directly.
That comes in handy when the output would otherwise misinterpreted by a
calling process as part of Git's output.
Note: the values "1", "yes" or "true" are *not* specifying paths, but
tell Git to let strace.exe log directly to the console.

The OBJECT_INFO_FOR_PREFETCH bitflag was added to sha1-file.c in 0f4a4fb1
(sha1-file: support OBJECT_INFO_FOR_PREFETCH, 2019-03-29) and is used to
prevent the fetch_objects() method when enabled.
However, there is a problem with the current use. The definition of
OBJECT_INFO_FOR_PREFETCH is given by adding 32 to OBJECT_INFO_QUICK. This is
clearly stated above the definition (in a comment) that this is so
OBJECT_INFO_FOR_PREFETCH implies OBJECT_INFO_QUICK. The problem is that using
"flag & OBJECT_INFO_FOR_PREFETCH" means that OBJECT_INFO_QUICK also implies
OBJECT_INFO_FOR_PREFETCH.
Split out the single bit from OBJECT_INFO_FOR_PREFETCH into a new
OBJECT_INFO_SKIP_FETCH_OBJECT as the single bit and keep
OBJECT_INFO_FOR_PREFETCH as the union of two flags. This allows a clearer use
of flag checking while also keeping the implication of OBJECT_INFO_QUICK.

Without this bug fix, t7519's four "status doesn't detect unreported
modifications" test cases would fail occasionally (and, oddly enough,
*a lot* more frequently on Windows).
The reason is that these test cases intentionally use the side effect of
`git status` to re-write the index if any updates were detected: they
first clean the worktree, run `git status` to update the index as well
as show the output to the casual reader, then make the worktree dirty
again and expect no changes to reported if running with a mocked
fsmonitor hook.
The problem with this strategy was that the index was written during
said `git status` on the clean worktree for the *wrong* reason: not
because the index was marked as changed (it wasn't), but because the
recorded mtimes were racy with the index' own mtime.
As the mtime granularity on Windows is 100 nanoseconds (see e.g.
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/desktop/SysInfo/file-times),
the mtimes of the files are often enough *not* racy with the index', so
that that `git status` call currently does not always update the index
(including the fsmonitor extension), causing the test case to fail.
The obvious fix: if we change *any* index entry's `CE_FSMONITOR_VALID`
flag, we should also mark the index as changed. That will cause the
index to be written upon `git status`, *including* an updated fsmonitor
extension.
Side note: Even though the reader might think that the t7519 issue
should be *much* more prevalent on Linux, given that the ext4 filesystem
(that seems to be used by every Linux distribution) stores mtimes in
nanosecond precision. However, ext4 uses `current_kernel_time()` (see
https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/11599#comment762968_11599; it
is *amazingly* hard to find any proper source of information about such
ext4 questions) whose accuracy seems to depend on many factors but is
safely worse than the 100-nanosecond granularity of NTFS (again, it is
*horribly* hard to find anything remotely authoritative about this
question). So it seems that the racy index condition that hid the bug
fixed by this patch simply is a lot more likely on Linux than on
Windows. But not impossible ;-)

The only remaining scripted part of `git rebase` is the
`--preserve-merges` backend. Meaning: there is little reason to keep the
