connect: Add the envvar GIT_SSH_VARIANT and ssh.variant config

This environment variable and configuration value allow to
override the autodetection of plink/tortoiseplink in case that
Git gets it wrong.

[jes: wrapped overly-long lines, factored out and changed
get_ssh_variant() to handle_ssh_variant() to accomodate the
change from the putty/tortoiseplink variables to
port_option/needs_batch, adjusted the documentation, free()d
value obtained from the config.]

ssh.variant::
Depending on the value of the environment variables `GIT_SSH` or
`GIT_SSH_COMMAND`, or the config setting `core.sshCommand`, Git
auto-detects whether to adjust its command-line parameters for use
with plink or tortoiseplink, as opposed to the default (OpenSSH).

The config variable `ssh.variant` can be set to override this auto-detection;
valid values are `ssh`, `plink`, `putty` or `tortoiseplink`. Any other value
will be treated as normal ssh. This setting can be overridden via the
environment variable `GIT_SSH_VARIANT`.
i18n.commitEncoding::
Character encoding the commit messages are stored in; Git itself
does not care per se, but this information is necessary e.g. when

`GIT_SSH_VARIANT`::
If this environment variable is set, it overrides Git's autodetection
whether `GIT_SSH`/`GIT_SSH_COMMAND`/`core.sshCommand` refer to OpenSSH,
plink or tortoiseplink. This variable overrides the config setting
`ssh.variant` that serves the same purpose.
`GIT_ASKPASS`::
If this environment variable is set, then Git commands which need to
acquire passwords or passphrases (e.g. for HTTP or IMAP authentication)
