travis-ci: retry if Git for Windows CI returns HTTP error 502 or 503
travis-ci: handle Git for Windows CI status "failed" explicitly
The Git for Windows CI web app sometimes returns HTTP errors of
"502 bad gateway" or "503 service unavailable" [1]. We also need to
check the HTTP content because the GfW web app seems to pass through
(error) results from other Azure calls with HTTP code 200.
Wait a little and retry the request if this happens.

Git for Windows CI returns "completed: failed" if a build or test
failure happened. This case was processed as "Unhandled status".
Handle the case explicitly.

If the $STATUS variable contains a "%" character then printf will
interpret that as invalid format string. Fix this by formatting $STATUS
as string.

Most Git developers work on Linux and they have no way to know if their
changes would break the Git for Windows build. Let's fix that by adding
a job to TravisCI that builds and tests Git on Windows. Unfortunately,
TravisCI does not support Windows.
Therefore, we did the following:
* Johannes Schindelin set up a Visual Studio Team Services build
sponsored by Microsoft and made it accessible via an Azure Function
that speaks a super-simple API. We made TravisCI use this API to
trigger a build, wait until its completion, and print the build and
test results.
* A Windows build and test run takes up to 3h and TravisCI has a timeout
after 50min for Open Source projects. Since the TravisCI job does not
use heavy CPU/memory/etc. resources, the friendly TravisCI folks
extended the job timeout for git/git to 3h.
Things, that would need to be done:
* Someone with write access to https://travis-ci.org/git/git would need
to add the secret token as "GFW_CI_TOKEN" variable in the TravisCI
repository setting [1]. Afterwards the build should just work.
Things, that might need to be done:
* The Windows box can only process a single build at a time. A second
Windows build would need to wait until the first finishes. This
waiting time and the build time after the wait could exceed the 3h
threshold. If this is a problem, then it is likely to happen every day
as usually multiple branches are pushed at the same time (pu/next/
master/maint). I cannot test this as my TravisCI account has the 50min
timeout. One solution could be to limit the number of concurrent
TravisCI jobs [2].
