On Windows, there are two kinds of executables, console ones and
non-console ones. Git's executables are all console ones.
When launching the former e.g. in a scheduled task, a CMD window pops
up. This is not what we want for the tasks installed via the `git
maintenance` command.
To work around this, let's introduce `headless-git.exe`, which is a
non-console program that does _not_ pop up any window. All it does is to
re-launch `git.exe`, suppressing that console window, passing through
all command-line arguments as-are.

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.

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.

With the recent changes to allow building with MSVC=1, we now pass the
/OPT:REF option to the compiler. This confuses the parser that wants to
turn the output of a dry run into project definitions for QMake and Visual
Studio:
Unhandled link option @ line 213: /OPT:REF at [...]
Let's just extend the code that passes through options that start with a
dash, so that it passes through options that start with a slash, too.

Git's test suite shows tons of breakages unless Git is compiled
*without* NO_ICONV. That means, in turn, that we need to generate
build definitions *with* libiconv, which in turn implies that we
have to handle the -liconv option properly.

One time too many did this developer call the `generate` script passing
a `--make-out=<PATH>` option that was happily ignored (because there
should be a space, not an equal sign, between `--make-out` and the

And one time too many, this script not only ignored it but did not even
complain. Let's fix that.

Rather than swallowing the errors, it is better to have them in a file.
To make it obvious what this is about, use the file name
'msvc-build-makedryerrors.txt'.
Further, if the output is empty, simply delete that file. As we target
Git for Windows' SDK (which, unlike its predecessor msysGit, offers Perl
versions newer than 5.8), we can use the quite readable syntax `if -f -z
$ErrsFile` (available in Perl >=5.10).
Note that the file will contain the new values of the GIT_VERSION and
GITGUI_VERSION if they were generated by the make file. They are omitted
if the release is tagged and indentically defined in their respective
GIT_VERSION_GEN file DEF_VER variables.

Since 4b623d8 (MSVC: link in invalidcontinue.obj for better POSIX
compatibility, 2014-03-29), invalidcontinue.obj is linked in the MSVC
build, but it was not parsed correctly by the buildsystem. Ignore it, as
it is known to Visual Studio and will be handled elsewhere.
Also only substitute filenames ending with .o when generating the
source .c filename, otherwise we would start to expect .cbj files to
generate .obj files (which are not generated by our build)...
In the future there may be source files that produce .obj files
so keep the two issues (.obj files with & without source files)
separate.

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.

Commit ade2ca0c (Do not try to remove directories when removing
old links, 2009-10-27) added an expression to a 'test' using an
'-o' or connective. This resulted in the buildsystem generator
mistaking a conditional 'rm' for a linker command. In order to
fix the breakage, we filter out all 'test' commands before then
attempting to identify the commands of interest.

These scripts generate projects for the MSVC IDE (.vcproj files) or
QMake (.pro files), based on the output of a 'make -n MSVC=1 V=1' run.
This enables us to simply do the necesarry changes in the Makefile, and you
can update the other buildsystems by regenerating the files. Keeping the
other buildsystems up-to-date with main development.
The generator system is designed to easily drop in pm's for other
buildsystems as well, if someone has an itch. However, the focus has been
Windows development, so the 'engine' might need patches to support any
platform.
Also add some .gitignore entries for MSVC files.
