Something changed in `vcpkg` (which we use in our Visual C++ build to
provide the dependencies such as libcurl) and our `vs-build` job started
failing in CI. The reason is that we had a work-around in place to help
CMake find iconv, and this work-around is neither needed nor does it
work anymore.
For the full discussion with the vcpkg project, see this comment:

In 897d68e7af (Makefile: use curl-config --cflags, 2020-03-26), we
taught the build process to use `curl-config --cflags` to make sure that
it can find cURL's headers.
In the MSVC build, this is completely bogus because we're running in a
Git for Windows SDK whose `curl-config` supports the _GCC_ build.
Let's just ignore each and every `-I<path>` option where `<path>` points
to GCC/Clang specific headers.

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
try our best to translate them to the equivalent options to pass to MS
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.

With this patch, Git can be built using the Microsoft toolchain, via:
make MSVC=1 [DEBUG=1]
Third party libraries are built from source using the open source
"vcpkg" tool set. See https://github.com/Microsoft/vcpkg
On a first build, the vcpkg tools and the third party libraries are
automatically downloaded and built. DLLs for the third party libraries
are copied to the top-level (and t/helper) directory to facilitate
debugging. See compat/vcbuild/README.
A series of .bat files are invoked by the Makefile to find the location
of the installed version of Visual Studio and the associated compiler
tools (essentially replicating the environment setup performed by a
"Developer Command Prompt"). This should find the most recent VS2015 or
VS2017 installation. Output from these scripts are used by the Makefile
to define compiler and linker pathnames and -I and -L arguments.
The build produces .pdb files for both debug and release builds.
Note: This commit was squashed from an organic series of commits
developed between 2016 and 2018 in Git for Windows' `master` branch.
This combined commit eliminates the obsolete commits related to fetching
NuGet packages for third party libraries. It is difficult to use NuGet
packages for C/C++ sources because they may be built by earlier versions
of the MSVC compiler and have CRT version and linking issues.
Additionally, the C/C++ NuGet packages that we were using tended to not
be updated concurrently with the sources. And in the case of cURL and
OpenSSL, this could expose us to security issues.

On Windows the convention is to rely on filename extensions to decide
whether a file is executable so Windows users are probably not relying
on the executable bit of these scripts, but on other platforms it can
be useful documentation.

Having recently added support for building git-imap-send on
Windows, we now link against OpenSSL libraries, and the linker
issues the following warning:
warning LNK4044: unrecognized option '/lssl'; ignored
In order to suppress the warning, we change the msvc linker
script to translate an '-lssl' parameter to the ssleay32.lib
library.
Note that the linker script was already including ssleay32.lib
(along with libeay32.lib) as part of the translation of the
'-lcrypto' library parameter. However, libeay32.dll does not
depend on ssleay32.dll and can be used stand-alone, so we remove
ssleay32.lib from the '-lcrypto' translation.
The dependence of ssleay32.dll on libeay32.dll is represented in
the Makefile by the NEEDS_CRYPTO_WITH_SSL build variable.
Also, add the corresponding change to the buildsystem generator.

During an MSVC build on cygwin, the make program did not notice
when the compiler or linker exited with an error. This was caused
by the scripts exiting with the value returned by system() directly.
On POSIX-like systems, such as cygwin, the return value of system()
has the exit code of the executed command encoded in the first byte
(ie the value is shifted up by 8 bits). This allows the bottom
7 bits to contain the signal number of a terminated process, while
the eighth bit indicates whether a core-dump was produced. (A value
of -1 indicates that the command failed to execute.)
The make program, however, expects the exit code to be encoded in the
bottom byte. Futhermore, it apparently masks off and ignores anything
in the upper bytes.
However, these scripts are (naturally) intended to be used on the
windows platform, where we can not assume POSIX-like semantics from
a perl implementation (eg ActiveState). So, in general, we can not
assume that shifting the return value right by eight will get us
the exit code.
In order to improve portability, we assume that a zero return from
system() indicates success, whereas anything else indicates failure.
Since we don't need to know the exact exit code from the compiler
or linker, we simply exit with 0 (success) or 1 (failure).

Enable MSVC builds with GNU Make by simply calling
make MSVC=1
(Debug build possible by adding DEBUG=1 as well)
Two scripts, clink.pl and lib.pl, are used to convert certain GCC
specific command line options into something MSVC understands.
By building for MSVC with GNU Make, we can ensure that the MSVC
port always follows the latest code, and does not lag behind due
to unmaintained NMake Makefile or IDE projects.
