In b18ae14a8f (vcxproj: also link-or-copy builtins, 2019-07-29), we
started to copy or hard-link the built-ins as a post-build step of the
`git` project.
At the same time, we tried to copy or hard-link `git-remote-http.exe`,
but it is quite possible that it was not built at that time.
Let's move that latter task into a post-install step of the
`git-remote-http` project instead.

The default location for `.exe` files linked by Visual Studio depends on
the mode (debug vs release) and the architecture. Meaning: after a full
build, there is a `git.exe` in the top-level directory, but none of the
built-ins are linked..
When running a test script in Git Bash, it therefore would pick up the
wrong, say, `git-receive-pack.exe`: the one installed at the same time
as the Git Bash.
Absolutely not what we want. We want to have confidence that our test
covers the MSVC-built Git executables, and not some random stuff.

Based on the previous patches in this patch series that fixed the
generator for `.vcproj` files (which were used by Visual Studio prior to
2015 to define projects), this patch offers to generate project
definitions for neweer versions of Visual Studio (which use `.vcxproj`
files).
To that end, this patch copy-edits the generator of the `.vcproj`.
In addition, we now use the `vcpkg` system which allows us to build
Git's dependencies (e.g. curl, libexpat) conveniently. The support
scripts were introduced in the `jh/msvc` patch series, and with this
patch we initialize the `vcpkg` conditionally, in the `libgit` project's
`PreBuildEvent`. To allow for parallel building of the projects, we
therefore put `libgit` at the bottom of the project hierarchy.

It is not necessary, and Visual Studio 2015 no longer supports it, anyway.

Visual Studio takes the first listed application/library as the default
startup project [1].
Detect the 'git' project and place it at the head of the project list,
rather than at the tail.
Export the apps list before libs list for both the projects and global
structures of the .sln file.

"In the solution file, there are a list of pseudo-XML "Project"
entries. It turns out that whatever is the first one ends up as
the Startup Project, unless it’s overridden in the suo file. Argh.
I just rearranged the order in the file and it’s good."
"just moving the pseudo-xml isn't enough. You also have to move the
group of entries in the "GlobalSection(ProjectConfigurationPlatforms)
= postSolution" group that has the GUID of the project you moved to
the top. So there are two places to move lines."

We ran out GUIDs. Again. But there is no need to: we can generate them
semi-randomly from the target file name of the project.
Note: the Vcproj generator is probably only interesting for historical
reasons; nevertheless, the upcoming Vcxproj generator (to support modern
Visual Studio versions) is based on the Vcproj generator and it is
better to fix this here first.

Instead of having all PDB files for all projects named "vc90.pdb", name them
after the respective project to make the relation more clear (and to avoid name
clashes when copying files around).

The format of the generated MSVC solution file is fixed in a way that
just opening it in Visual Studio and immediately closing it again
without performing any modifications does not trigger a prompt to save
the solution file. This behavior was caused by several minor
incompatibilities between the generated file and what Visual Studio
2008 expected, so Visual Studio transparently fixed the file format,
marking it internally as modified.

In order to be able to open the generated solution file by double-
clicking it in Windows Explorer, all project files need to use DOS
line-endings and a comment about the Visual Studio version needs to
be added to the header of the solution file. This also fixes the icon
that is displayed for the solution file in Windows Explorer.
Note that opening the solution file from a running instance of Visual
Studio already worked before.

Defining UNICODE for MSVC IDE builds results in certain Win32 WIDE
API's receiving ANSI strings. The result of which is an invalid use
of the API and will end in either data corruption or an application
crash.
Prevent the use of WIDE API's when building with the MSVC IDE for
compatibility with msysGit.

These scripts generate projects for the MSVC IDE (.vcproj files) or
QMake (.pro files), based on the output of a 'make -n MSVC=1 V=1' run.
This enables us to simply do the necesarry changes in the Makefile, and you
can update the other buildsystems by regenerating the files. Keeping the
other buildsystems up-to-date with main development.
The generator system is designed to easily drop in pm's for other
buildsystems as well, if someone has an itch. However, the focus has been
Windows development, so the 'engine' might need patches to support any
platform.
Also add some .gitignore entries for MSVC files.
