c4b4968397 travis-ci: printf $STATUS as string
If the $STATUS variable contains a "%" character then printf will
interpret that as invalid format string. Fix this by formatting $STATUS
as string.

029aeeed55 travis-ci: build and test Git on Windows
Most Git developers work on Linux and they have no way to know if their
changes would break the Git for Windows build. Let's fix that by adding
a job to TravisCI that builds and tests Git on Windows. Unfortunately,
TravisCI does not support Windows.

Therefore, we did the following:
* Johannes Schindelin set up a Visual Studio Team Services build
  sponsored by Microsoft and made it accessible via an Azure Function
  that speaks a super-simple API. We made TravisCI use this API to
  trigger a build, wait until its completion, and print the build and
  test results.
* A Windows build and test run takes up to 3h and TravisCI has a timeout
  after 50min for Open Source projects. Since the TravisCI job does not
  use heavy CPU/memory/etc. resources, the friendly TravisCI folks
  extended the job timeout for git/git to 3h.

Things, that would need to be done:
* Someone with write access to https://travis-ci.org/git/git would need
  to add the secret token as "GFW_CI_TOKEN" variable in the TravisCI
  repository setting [1]. Afterwards the build should just work.

Things, that might need to be done:
* The Windows box can only process a single build at a time. A second
  Windows build would need to wait until the first finishes. This
  waiting time and the build time after the wait could exceed the 3h
  threshold. If this is a problem, then it is likely to happen every day
  as usually multiple branches are pushed at the same time (pu/next/
  master/maint). I cannot test this as my TravisCI account has the 50min
  timeout. One solution could be to limit the number of concurrent
  TravisCI jobs [2].

88dedd5e72 Travis: also test on 32-bit Linux
When Git v2.9.1 was released, it had a bug that showed only on Windows
and on 32-bit systems: our assumption that `unsigned long` can hold
64-bit values turned out to be wrong.

This could have been caught earlier if we had a Continuous Testing
set up that includes a build and test run on 32-bit Linux.

Let's do this (and take care of the Windows build later). This patch
asks Travis CI to install a Docker image with 32-bit libraries and then
goes on to build and test Git using this 32-bit setup.
