On Windows, there are two kinds of executables, console ones and non-console ones. Git's executables are all console ones. When launching the former e.g. in a scheduled task, a CMD window pops up. This is not what we want for the tasks installed via the `git maintenance` command. To work around this, let's introduce `headless-git.exe`, which is a non-console program that does _not_ pop up any window. All it does is to re-launch `git.exe`, suppressing that console window, passing through all command-line arguments as-are.
