Git for Windows jumps through hoops to provide a development environment
that allows to build Git and to run its test suite. To that end, an
entire MSYS2 system, including GNU make and GCC is offered as "the Git
for Windows SDK". It does come at a price: an initial download of said
SDK weighs in with several hundreds of megabytes, and the unpacked SDK
occupies ~2GB of disk space.
A much more native development environment on Windows is Visual Studio.
To help contributors use that environment, we already have a Makefile
target `vcxproj` that generates a commit with project files (and other
generated files), and Git for Windows' `vs/master` branch is
continuously re-generated using that target.
The idea is to allow building Git in Visual Studio, and to run
individual tests using a Portable Git.
The one missing thing is a way to run the entire test suite: neither
`make` nor `prove` are required to run Git, therefore Git for Windows
does not support those commands in the Portable Git.
To help with that, add a simple test helper that exercises the
`run_processes_parallel()` function to allow for running test scripts in
parallel (which is really necessary, especially on Windows, as Git's
test suite takes such a long time to run).
This will also come in handy for the upcoming change to our Azure
Pipeline: we will use this helper in a Portable Git to test the Visual
Studio build of Git.

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 return value of that function is 0 both for variables that are
unset, as well as for variables whose values are empty. To discern those
two cases, one has to call `GetLastError()`, whose return value is
`ERROR_ENVVAR_NOT_FOUND` and `ERROR_SUCCESS`, respectively.
Except that it is not actually set to `ERROR_SUCCESS` in the latter
case, apparently, but the last error value seems to be simply unchanged.
To work around this, let's just re-set the last error value just before
inspecting the environment variable.
This fixes a problem that triggers failures in t3301-notes.sh (where we
try to override config settings by passing empty values for certain
environment variables).
This problem is hidden in the MINGW build by the fact that older
MSVC runtimes (such as the one used by MINGW builds) have a `calloc()`
that re-sets the last error value in case of success, while newer
runtimes set the error value only if `NULL` is returned by that
function.

We frequently build Git using the `DEVELOPER=1` make setting as a
shortcut to enable all kinds of more stringent compiler warnings.
Those compiler warnings are relatively specific to GCC, though, so let's

Visual C++'s `cl.exe`.

To build with MSVC, we "translate" GCC options to MSVC options, and part
of those options refer to the libraries to link into the final
executable. Currently, this part looks somewhat like this on Windows:
-lcurl -lnghttp2 -lidn2 -lssl -lcrypto -lssl -lcrypto -lgdi32
-lcrypt32 -lwldap32 -lz -lws2_32 -lexpat
Some of those are direct dependencies (such as curl and ssl) and others
are indirect (nghttp2 and idn2, for example, are dependencies of curl,
but need to be linked in for reasons).
We already handle the direct dependencies, e.g. `-liconv` is already
handled as adding `libiconv.lib` to the list of libraries to link
against.
Let's just ignore the remaining `-l*` options so that MSVC does not have
to warn us that it ignored e.g. the `/lnghttp2` option. We do that by
extending the clause that already "eats" the `-R*` options to also eat
the `-l*` options.

MSVC complains about this with `-Wall`, which can be taken as a sign
that this is indeed a real bug. The symptom is:
C4146: unary minus operator applied to unsigned type, result
still unsigned
Let's avoid this warning in the minimal way, e.g. writing `-1 -
<unsigned value>` instead of `-<unsigned value> - 1`.
Note that the change in the `estimate_cache_size()` function is
needed because MSVC considers the "return type" of the `sizeof()`
operator to be `size_t`, i.e. unsigned, and therefore it cannot be
negated using the unary minus operator.
Even worse, that arithmetic is doing extra work, in vain. We want to
calculate the entry extra cache size as the difference between the
size of the `cache_entry` structure minus the size of the
`ondisk_cache_entry` structure, padded to the appropriate alignment
boundary.
To that end, we start by assigning that difference to the `per_entry`
variable, and then abuse the `len` parameter of the
`align_padding_size()` macro to take the negative size of the ondisk
entry size. Essentially, we try to avoid passing the already calculated
difference to that macro by passing the operands of that difference
instead, when the macro expects operands of an addition:
#define align_padding_size(size, len) \
((size + (len) + 8) & ~7) - (size + len)
Currently, we pass A and -B to that macro instead of passing A - B and
0, where A - B is already stored in the `per_entry` variable, ready to
be used.
This is neither necessary, nor intuitive. Let's fix this, and have code
that is both easier to read and that also does not trigger MSVC's
warning.
While at it, we take care of reporting overflows (which are unlikely,
but hey, defensive programming is good!).
We _also_ take pains of casting the unsigned value to signed: otherwise,
the signed operand (i.e. the `-1`) would be cast to unsigned before
doing the arithmetic.

On Windows, it is possible to embed additional metadata into an
executable by linking in a "manifest", i.e. an XML document that
describes capabilities and requirements (such as minimum or maximum
Windows version). These XML documents are expected to be stored in
`.manifest` files.
At least _some_ Visual Studio versions auto-generate `.manifest` files
when none is specified explicitly, therefore we used to ask Git to
ignore them.
However, we do have a beautiful `.manifest` file now:
`compat/win32/git.manifest`, so neither does Visual Studio auto-generate
a manifest for us, nor do we want Git to ignore the `.manifest` files
anymore.

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.

The entire idea of generating the VS solution makes only sense if we
generate it via Continuous Integration; otherwise potential users would
still have to download the entire Git for Windows SDK.
If we pre-generate the Visual Studio solution, Git can be built entirely
within Visual Studio, and the test scripts can be run in a regular Git
for Windows (e.g. the Portable Git flavor, which does not include a full
GCC toolchain and therefore weighs only about a tenth of Git for
Windows' SDK).
So let's just add a target in the Makefile that can be used to generate
said solution; The generated files will then be committed so that they
can be pushed to a branch ready to check out by Visual Studio users.
To make things even more useful, we also generate and commit other files
that are required to run the test suite, such as templates and
bin-wrappers: with this, developers can run the test suite in a regular
Git Bash after building the solution in Visual Studio.
Note: for this build target, we do not actually need to initialize the
`vcpkg` system, so we don't.

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.

Further, if the output is empty, simply delete that file. As we target
