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.

Occasionally submodule code could execute new commands with GIT_DIR set
to some submodule. GIT_TRACE prints just the command line which makes it
hard to tell that it's not really executed on this repository.
Print the env delta (compared to parent environment) in this case.

Replace uses of strbuf_addf() for adding strings with more lightweight
strbuf_addstr() calls.
In http-push.c it becomes easier to see what's going on without having
to verfiy that the definition of PROPFIND_ALL_REQUEST doesn't contain
any format specifiers.
