Recently the Git for Windows project started the upgrade process to
a MSYS2 runtime version based on Cygwin v3.x.
This has the very notable consequence that `$(uname -r)` no longer
reports a version starting with "2", but a version with "3".
That breaks our build, as df5218b4c3 (config.mak.uname: support MSys2,
2016-01-13) simply did not expect the version reported by `uname -r` to
depend on the underlying Cygwin version: it expected the reported
version to match the "2" in "MSYS2".
So let's invert that test case to test for *anything else* than a
version starting with "1" (for MSys). That should safeguard us for the
future, even if Cygwin ends up releasing versionsl like 314.272.65536.

On NetBSD, the version of msgfmt is still 0.14.4. There's no hope for
an upgrade due to some GPLv3 allergy of NetBSD's. This version chokes
on heavily decorated commented entries in po files. It's safer to get
rid of all these obsolete entries.

During the six months of development of the Azure Pipelines support, the
patches went through quite a few iterations of changes, and to test
those iterations, a temporary build definition was used.
In the meantime, Azure Pipelines support made it to `master`, and we now
have a regular Azure Pipeline, installed via the common GitHub App
workflow. This new pipeline has a different name (git.git instead of
test-git.git), and a new ID (11 instead of 2).
Let's adjust the badge in our README to reflect that final shape of the
Azure Pipeline.

Change an unportable invocation of "dd" with count=0, that wanted to
truncate the commit-graph file. In POSIX it is unspecified what
happens when count=0 is provided[1]. The NetBSD "dd" behavior
differs from GNU (and seemingly other BSDs), which has left this test
broken since d2b86fbaa1 ("commit-graph: fix buffer read-overflow",
2019-01-15).
Copying from /dev/null would seek/truncate to seek=$zero_pos and
stop immediately after that (without being able to copy anything),
which is the right way to truncate the file.

Fix widely supported but non-POSIX basic regex syntax introduced in
[1] and [2]. On GNU, NetBSD and FreeBSD the following works:
$ echo xy >f
$ grep 'xy\?' f; echo $?
xy
0
The same goes for "\+". The "?" and "+" syntax is not in the BRE
syntax, just in ERE, but on some implementations it can be invoked by
prefixing the meta-operator with "\", but not on OpenBSD:
$ uname -a
OpenBSD obsd.my.domain 6.2 GENERIC#132 amd64
$ grep --version
grep version 0.9
$ grep 'xy\?' f; echo $?
1
Let's fix this by moving to ERE syntax instead, where "?" and "+" are
universally supported:
$ grep -E 'xy?' f; echo $?
xy
0

t5562: do not depend on /dev/zero
Revert "t5562: replace /dev/zero with a pipe from generate_zero_bytes"
Some expected failures of git-http-backend leaves running its children
(receive-pack or upload-pack) which still hold opened descriptors
to act.err and with some probability they live long enough to write
there their failure messages after next test has already truncated
the files. This causes occasional failures of the test script.
Avoid the issue by using separated output and error file for each test,
apprending the test number to their name.

In cc95bc2025 (t5562: replace /dev/zero with a pipe from
generate_zero_bytes, 2019-02-09), we replaced usage of /dev/zero (which
is not available on NonStop, apparently) by a Perl script snippet to
generate NUL bytes.
Sadly, it does not seem to work on NonStop, as t5562 reportedly hangs.
Worse, this also hangs in the Ubuntu 16.04 agents of the CI builds on
Azure Pipelines: for some reason, the Perl script snippet that is run
via `generate_zero_bytes` in t5562's 'CONTENT_LENGTH overflow ssite_t'
test case tries to write out an infinite amount of NUL bytes unless a
broken pipe is encountered, that snippet never encounters the broken
pipe, and keeps going until the build times out.
Oddly enough, this does not reproduce on the Windows and macOS agents,
nor in a local Ubuntu 18.04.
This developer tried for a day to figure out the exact circumstances
under which this hang happens, to no avail, the details remain a
mystery.
In the end, though, what counts is that this here change incidentally
fixes that hang (maybe also on NonStop?). Even more positively, it gets
rid of yet another unnecessary Perl invocation.

It was reported [1] that NonStop platform does not have /dev/zero.
The test uses /dev/zero as a dummy input. Passing case (http-backed
failed because of too big input size) should not be reading anything
from it. If http-backend would erroneously try to read any data
returning EOF probably would be even safer than providing some
meaningless data.
Replace /dev/zero with /dev/null to avoid issues with platforms which do
not have /dev/zero.

Revert cc95bc20 ("t5562: replace /dev/zero with a pipe from
generate_zero_bytes", 2019-02-09), as not feeding anything to the
command is a better way to test it.
'root commit' is usually translated as 'Root-Commit'. But in one
occasion it‘s translated as 'Basis-Commit' which is the translation
for 'base commit'.

Running up to v2.21.0, we fixed two bugs that were made prominent by the
Windows-specific change to retain copies of only the 30 latest getenv()
calls' returned strings, invalidating any copies of previous getenv()
calls' return values.
While this really shines a light onto bugs of the form where we hold
onto getenv()'s return values without copying them, it is also a real
problem for users.
And even if Jeff King's patches merged via 773e408881 (Merge branch
'jk/save-getenv-result', 2019-01-29) provide further work on that front,
we are far from done. Just one example: on Windows, we unset environment
variables when spawning new processes, which potentially invalidates
strings that were previously obtained via getenv(), and therefore we
have to duplicate environment values that are somehow involved in
spawning new processes (e.g. GIT_MAN_VIEWER in show_man_page()).
We do not have a chance to investigate, let address, all of those issues
in time for v2.21.0, so let's at least help Windows users by increasing
the number of getenv() calls' return values that are kept valid. The
number 64 was determined by looking at the average number of getenv()
calls per process in the entire test suite run on Windows (which is
around 40) and then adding a bit for good measure. And it is a power of
two (which would have hit yesterday's theme perfectly).
