Bigger writes to network drives on Windows XP fail. Cap them at 31MB to
allow them to succeed. Callers need to be prepared for write() calls
that do less work than requested anyway.
On local drives, write() calls are translated to WriteFile() calls with
a cap of 64KB on Windows XP and 256KB on Vista. Thus a cap of 31MB won't
affect the number of WriteFile() calls which do the actual work. There's
still room for some other version of Windows to use a chunk size of 1MB
without increasing the number of system calls.

In particular, the following warning is issued while compiling
compat/msvc.c:
...mingw.c(223) : warning C4133: 'function' : incompatible \
types - from '_stati64 *' to '_stat64 *'
which relates to a call of _fstati64() in the mingw_fstat()
function definition.
This is caused by various layers of macro magic and attempts to
avoid macro redefinition compiler warnings. For example, the call
to _fstati64() mentioned above is actually a call to _fstat64(),
and expects a pointer to a struct _stat64 rather than the struct
_stati64 which is passed to mingw_fstat().
The definition of struct _stati64 given in compat/msvc.h had the
same "shape" as the definition of struct _stat64, so the call to
_fstat64() does not actually cause any runtime errors, but the
structure types are indeed incompatible.
In order to avoid the compiler warning, we add declarations for the
mingw_lstat() and mingw_fstat() functions and supporting macros to
msvc.h, suppressing the corresponding declarations in mingw.h, so
that we can use the appropriate structure type (and function) names
from the msvc headers.

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.)

Add USE_WIN32_MMAP which triggers the use of windows' native
file memory mapping functionality in git_mmap()/git_munmap() functions.
As git functions currently use mmap with MAP_PRIVATE set only, this
implementation supports only that mode for now.
On Windows, offsets for memory mapped files need to match the allocation
granularity. Take this into account when calculating the packed git-
windowsize and file offsets. At the moment, the only function which makes
use of offsets in conjunction with mmap is use_pack() in sha1-file.c.
Git fast-import's code path tries to map a portion of the temporary
packfile that exceeds the current filesize, i.e. offset+length is
greater than the filesize. The NO_MMAP code worked with that since pread()
just reads the file content until EOF and returns gracefully, while
MapViewOfFile() aborts the mapping and returns 'Access Denied'.
Working around that by determining the filesize and adjusting the length
parameter.

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().

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.
