A caller of start_command can set the member 'dir' to a directory to
request that the child process starts with that directory as CWD. The first
user of this feature was added recently in eee49b6 (Teach diff --submodule
and status to handle .git files in submodules).
On Windows, we have been lazy and had not implemented support for this
feature, yet. This fixes the shortcoming.

When stdin, stdout, or stderr must be redirected for a child process that
on Windows is spawned using one of the spawn() functions of Microsoft's
C runtime, then there is no choice other than to
1. make a backup copy of fd 0,1,2 with dup
2. dup2 the redirection source fd into 0,1,2
3. spawn
4. dup2 the backup back into 0,1,2
5. close the backup copy and the redirection source
We used this idiom as well -- but we are not using the spawn() functions
anymore!
Instead, we have our own implementation. We had hardcoded that stdin,
stdout, and stderr of the child process were inherited from the parent's
fds 0, 1, and 2. But we can actually specify any fd.
With this patch, the fds to inherit are passed from start_command()'s
WIN32 section to our spawn implementation. This way, we can avoid the
backup copies of the fds.
The backup copies were a bug waiting to surface: The OS handles underlying
the dup()ed fds were inherited by the child process (but were not
associated with a file descriptor in the child). Consequently, the file or
pipe represented by the OS handle remained open even after the backup copy
was closed in the parent process until the child exited.
Since our implementation of pipe() creates non-inheritable OS handles, we
still dup() file descriptors in start_command() because dup() happens to
create inheritable duplicates. (A nice side effect is that the fd cleanup
in start_command is the same for Windows and Unix and remains unchanged.)

Our implementation of pipe() must create non-inheritable handles for the
reason that when a child process is started, there is no opportunity to
close the unneeded pipe ends in the child (on POSIX this is done between
fork() and exec()).
Previously, we used the _pipe() function provided by Microsoft's C runtime
(which creates inheritable handles) and then turned the handles into
non-inheritable handles using the DuplicateHandle() API.
Simplify the procedure by using the CreatePipe() API, which can create
non-inheritable handles right from the beginning.

We have replaced rename() with a version that can rename a file to a
destination that already exists. Nevertheless, many users, the author
included, observe failures in the code that are not reproducible.
The theory is that the failures are due to some other process that happens
to have opened the destination file briefly at the wrong moment. (And there
is no way on Windows to delete or replace a file that is currently open.)
The most likely candidate for such a process is a virus scanner. The
failure is more often observed while there is heavy git activity (for
example while the test suite is running or during a rebase operation).
We work around the failure by retrying the rename operation if it failed
due to ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED. The retries are delayed a bit: The first only
by giving up the time slice, the next after the minimal scheduling
granularity, and if more retries are needed, then we wait some non-trivial
amount of time with exponential back-off.

Before a process can be spawned by mingw_spawnve, arguments must be
surrounded by double-quotes if special characters are present. This is
necessary because the startup code of the spawned process will expand
arguments that look like glob patterns. "Normal" Windows command line
utilities expand only * and ?, but MSYS programs, including bash, are
different: They also expand braces, and this has already been taken care
of by compat/mingw.c:quote_arg().
But MSYS programs also treat single-quotes in a special way: Arguments
between single-quotes are spliced together (with spaces) into a word.
With this patch this treatment is avoided by quoting arguments that contain
single-quotes.

The problem with Windows's own implementation is that it tries to be
clever when a console program is invoked from a GUI application: In this
case it sometimes automatically allocates a new console window. As a
consequence, the IO channels of the spawned program are directed to the
console, but the invoking application listens on channels that are now
directed to nowhere.
In this implementation we use the lowlevel facilities of CreateProcess(),
which offers a flag to tell the system not to open a console. As a side
effect, only stdin, stdout, and stderr channels will be accessible from
C programs that are spawned. Other channels (file handles, pipe handles,
etc.) are still inherited by the spawned program, but it doesn't get
enough information to access them.
Johannes Schindelin integrated path quoting and unified the various
*execv* and *spawnv* helpers. Eric Raible suggested to also quote '{'.

gethostbyname() is the first function that calls into the Winsock library,
and it is wrapped only to initialize the library.
socket() is wrapped for two reasons:
- Windows's socket() creates things that are like low-level file handles,
and they must be converted into file descriptors first.
- And these handles cannot be used with plain ReadFile()/WriteFile()
because they are opened for "overlapped IO". We have to use WSASocket()
to create non-overlapped IO sockets.
connect() must be wrapped because Windows's connect() expects the low-level
sockets, not file descriptors, and we must first unwrap the file descriptor
before we can pass it on to Windows's connect().

This emulation of poll() is by far not general. It assumes that the
fds that are to be waited for are connected to pipes. The pipes are
polled in a loop until data becomes available in at least one of them.
If only a single fd is waited for, the implementation actually does
not wait at all, but assumes that a subsequent read() will block.
In order not to needlessly burn CPU time, the CPU is yielded to other
processes before the next round in the poll loop using Sleep(0). Note that
any sleep timeout greater than zero will reduce the efficiency by a
magnitude.

On Windows, we have spawnv() variants to run a child process instead of
fork()/exec(). In order to attach pipe ends to stdin, stdout, and stderr,
we have to use this idiom:
save1 = dup(1);
dup2(pipe[1], 1);
spawnv();
dup2(save1, 1);
close(pipe[1]);
assuming that the descriptors created by pipe() are not inheritable.
Signed-off-by: Johannes Sixt <johannes.sixt@telecom.at>
On Unix the idiom to use a pipe is as follows:
pipe(fd);
pid = fork();
if (!pid) {
dup2(fd[1], 1);
close(fd[1]);
close(fd[0]);
...
}
close(fd[1]);
i.e. the child process closes the both pipe ends after duplicating one
to the file descriptors where they are needed.
On Windows, which does not have fork(), we never have an opportunity to
(1) duplicate a pipe end in the child, (2) close unused pipe ends. Instead,
we must use this idiom:
save1 = dup(1);
pipe(fd);
dup2(fd[1], 1);
spawn(...);
dup2(save1, 1);
close(fd[1]);
i.e. save away the descriptor at the destination slot, replace by the pipe
end, spawn process, restore the saved file.
But there is a problem: Notice that the child did not only inherit the
dup2()ed descriptor, but also *both* original pipe ends. Although the one
end that was dup()ed could be closed before the spawn(), we cannot close
the other end - the child inherits it, no matter what.
The solution is to generate non-inheritable pipes. At the first glance,
this looks strange: The purpose of pipes is usually to be inherited to
child processes. But notice that in the course of actions as outlined
above, the pipe descriptor that we want to inherit to the child is
dup2()ed, and as it so happens, Windows's dup2() creates inheritable
duplicates.
