This is retry of #1419.
I added flush_fscache macro to flush cached stats after disk writing
with tests for regression reported in #1438 and #1442.
git checkout checks each file path in sorted order, so cache flushing does not
make performance worse unless we have large number of modified files in
a directory containing many files.
Using chromium repository, I tested `git checkout .` performance when I
delete 10 files in different directories.

When I do git fetch, git call file stats under .git/objects for each
refs. This takes time when there are many refs.
By enabling fscache, git takes file stats by directory traversing and that
improved the speed of fetch-pack for repository having large number of
refs.
In my windows workstation, this improves the time of `git fetch` for
chromium repository like below. I took stats 3 times.

Git for Windows supports the core.longPaths config setting to allow
writing/reading long paths via the \\?\ trick for a long time now.
However, for that support to work, it is absolutely necessary that
git_default_config() is given a chance to parse the config. Otherwise
Git will be non the wiser.
So let's make sure that as many commands that previously failed to
parse the core.* settings now do that, implicitly enabling long path
support in a lot more places.
Note: this is not a perfect solution, and it cannot be, as there is
a chicken-and-egg problem in reading the config itself...

Fix regression described in:
https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/issues/1392
which was introduced in:
b2353379bb
Problem Symptoms
================
When the user has a .gitignore file that is a symlink, the fscache
optimization introduced above caused the stat-data from the symlink,
rather that of the target file, to be returned. Later when the ignore
file was read, the buffer length did not match the stat.st_size field
and we called die("cannot use <path> as an exclude file")
Optimization Rationale
======================
The above optimization calls lstat() before open() primarily to ask
fscache if the file exists. It gets the current stat-data as a side
effect essentially for free (since we already have it in memory).
If the file does not exist, it does not need to call open(). And
since very few directories have .gitignore files, we can greatly
reduce time spent in the filesystem.
Discussion of Fix
=================
The above optimization calls lstat() rather than stat() because the
fscache only intercepts lstat() calls. Calls to stat() stay directed
to the mingw_stat() completly bypassing fscache. Furthermore, calls
to mingw_stat() always call {open, fstat, close} so that symlinks are
properly dereferenced, which adds *additional* open/close calls on top
of what the original code in dir.c is doing.
Since the problem only manifests for symlinks, we add code to overwrite
the stat-data when the path is a symlink. This preserves the effect of
the performance gains provided by the fscache in the normal case.

This topic branch brings slightly experimental changes supporting Git
for Windows to use BusyBox-w32 to execute its shell scripts as well as
its test suite.
The test suite can be run by installing the test artifacts into a MinGit
that has busybox.exe (and using Git for Windows' SDK's Perl for now, as
the test suite requires Perl even when NO_PERL is set, go figure) by
using the `install-mingit-test-artifacts` Makefile target with the
DESTDIR variable pointing to the top-level directory of the MinGit
installation.
To facilitate running the test suite (without having `make` available,
as `make.exe` is not part of MinGit), this branch brings an experimental
patch to the `test-run-command` helper to run Git's test suite. It is
still very experimental, though: in this developer's tests it seemed
that the `poll()` emulation required for `run_parallel_processes()` to
work sometimes hiccups on Windows, causing infinite "hangs". It is also
possible that BusyBox itself has problems writing to the pipes opened by
`test-run-command` (and merging this branch will help investigate
further). Caveat emptor.

Teach read_directory_recursive() and add_excludes() to
be aware of optional fscache and avoid trying to open()
and fstat() non-existant ".gitignore" files in every
directory in the worktree.
The current code in add_excludes() calls open() and then
fstat() for a ".gitignore" file in each directory present
in the worktree. Change that when fscache is enabled to
call lstat() first and if present, call open().
This seems backwards because both lstat needs to do more
work than fstat. But when fscache is enabled, fscache will
already know if the .gitignore file exists and can completely
avoid the IO calls. This works because of the lstat diversion
to mingw_lstat when fscache is enabled.

This topic branch addresses a problem identified in
https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/issues/439: while
cloning/fetching/pushing from "POSIX-ified UNC paths" (i.e. UNC paths
whose backslashes have been converted to forward slashes) works for some
time now, true UNC paths (with backslashes left intact) were handled
incorrectly. Example:
git clone //myserver/folder/repo.git
works, but
git clone \\myserver\folder\repo.git
(in CMD; in Git Bash, the backslashes would need to be doubled) used to
fail. The reason was an unexpected difference in command-line handling
between Win32 executables and MSYS2 ones (such as the shell that is used
by git-clone.exe to spawn git-upload-pack.exe).

A very common assumption in Git's source code base is that
offset_1st_component() returns either 0 for relative paths, or 1 for
absolute paths that start with a slash. In other words, the return value
is either 0 or points just after the dir separator.
This assumption is not fulfilled when calling offset_1st_component()
e.g. on UNC paths on Windows, e.g. "//my-server/my-share". In this case,
offset_1st_component() returns the length of the entire string (which is
correct, because stripping the last "component" would not result in a
valid directory), yet the return value still does not point just after a
dir separator.
This assumption is most prominently seen in the
setup_git_directory_gently_1() function, where we want to append a
".git" component and simply assume that there is already a dir
separator. In the UNC example given above, this assumption is incorrect.
As a consequence, Git will fail to handle a worktree at the top of a UNC
share correctly.
Let's fix this by adding a dir separator specifically for that case: we
found that there is no first component in the path and it does not end
in a dir separator? Then add it.

In the BusyBox-w32 version that is currently under consideration for
MinGit for Windows (to reduce the .zip size, and to avoid problems with
the MSYS2 runtime), the UTF-16 environment present in Windows is
considered to be authoritative, and the 8-bit version is always in UTF-8
encoding.
As a consequence, the ISO-8859-1 test in t9350-fast-export (which tries
to set GIT_AUTHOR_NAME to a ISO-8859-1 encoded value) *must* fail in
that setup.

The MSYS2 runtime does its best to emulate the command-line wildcard
expansion and de-quoting which would be performed by the calling Unix
shell on Unix systems.
Those Unix shell quoting rules differ from the quoting rules applying to
Windows' cmd and Powershell, making it a little awkward to quote
command-line parameters properly when spawning other processes.
In particular, git.exe passes arguments to subprocesses that are *not*
intended to be interpreted as wildcards, and if they contain
backslashes, those are not to be interpreted as escape characters, e.g.
when passing Windows paths.
Note: this is only a problem when calling MSYS2 executables, not when
calling MINGW executables such as git.exe. However, we do call MSYS2
executables frequently, most notably when setting the use_shell flag in
the child_process structure.
There is no elegant way to determine whether the .exe file to be
executed is an MSYS2 program or a MINGW one. But since the use case of
passing a command line through the shell is so prevalent, we need to
work around this issue at least when executing sh.exe.
Let's introduce an ugly, hard-coded test whether argv[0] is "sh", and
whether it refers to the MSYS2 Bash, to determine whether we need to
quote the arguments differently than usual.
That still does not fix the issue completely, but at least it is
something.
Incidentally, this also fixes the problem where `git clone \\server\repo`
failed due to incorrect handling of the backslashes when handing the path
to the git-upload-pack process.
We need to take care to quote not only whitespace, but also curly
brackets. As aliases frequently go through the MSYS2 Bash, and
as aliases frequently get parameters such as HEAD@{yesterday}, let's
make sure that this does not regress by adding a test case for that.

On Windows, the current working directory is pretty much guaranteed to
contain a colon. If we feed that path to CVS, it mistakes it for a
separator between host and port, though.
This has not been a problem so far because Git for Windows uses MSYS2's
Bash using a POSIX emulation layer that also pretends that the current
directory is a Unix path (at least as long as we're in a shell script).
However, that is rather limiting, as Git for Windows also explores other
ports of other Unix shells. One of those is BusyBox-w32's ash, which is
a native port (i.e. *not* using any POSIX emulation layer, and certainly
not emulating Unix paths).
So let's just detect if there is a colon in $PWD and punt in that case.

Due to a quirk in Git's method to spawn git-upload-pack, there is a
problem when passing paths with backslashes in them: Git will force the
command-line through the shell, which has different quoting semantics in
Git for Windows (being an MSYS2 program) than regular Win32 executables
such as git.exe itself.
The symptom is that the first of the two backslashes in UNC paths of the
form \\myserver\folder\repository.git is *stripped off*.

The TerminateProcess() function does not actually leave the child
processes any chance to perform any cleanup operations. This is bad
insofar as Git itself expects its signal handlers to run.
A symptom is e.g. a left-behind .lock file that would not be left behind
if the same operation was run, say, on Linux.
To remedy this situation, we use an obscure trick: we inject a thread
into the process that needs to be killed and to let that thread run the
ExitProcess() function with the desired exit status. Thanks J Wyman for
describing this trick.
The advantage is that the ExitProcess() function lets the atexit
handlers run. While this is still different from what Git expects (i.e.
running a signal handler), in practice Git sets up signal handlers and
atexit handlers that call the same code to clean up after itself.
In case that the gentle method to terminate the process failed, we still
fall back to calling TerminateProcess(), but in that case we now also
make sure that processes spawned by the spawned process are terminated;
TerminateProcess() does not give the spawned process a chance to do so
itself.
Please note that this change only affects how Git for Windows tries to
terminate processes spawned by Git's own executables. Third-party
software that *calls* Git and wants to terminate it *still* need to make
sure to imitate this gentle method, otherwise this patch will not have
any effect.

We newly handle isatty() by special-casing the stdin/stdout/stderr file
descriptors, caching the return value. However, we missed the case where
dup2() overrides the respective file descriptor.
That poses a problem e.g. where the `show` builtin asks for a pager very
early, the `setup_pager()` function sets the pager depending on the
return value of `isatty()` and then redirects stdout. Subsequently,
`cmd_log_init_finish()` calls `setup_pager()` *again*. What should
happen now is that `isatty()` reports that stdout is *not* a TTY and
consequently stdout should be left alone.
