Const tightening.

Mark Wooding noticed there was a type mismatch warning in git.c; this
patch does things slightly differently (mostly tightening const) and
was what I was holding onto, waiting for the setup-revisions change
to be merged into the master branch.

Exec git programs without using PATH.

The git suite may not be in PATH (and thus programs such as
git-send-pack could not exec git-rev-list).  Thus there is a need for
logic that will locate these programs.  Modifying PATH is not
desirable as it result in behavior differing from the user's
intentions, as we may end up prepending "/usr/bin" to PATH.

- git C programs will use exec*_git_cmd() APIs to exec sub-commands.
- exec*_git_cmd() will execute a git program by searching for it in
  the following directories:
	1. --exec-path (as used by "git")
	2. The GIT_EXEC_PATH environment variable.
	3. $(gitexecdir) as set in Makefile (default value $(bindir)).
- git wrapper will modify PATH as before to enable shell scripts to
  invoke "git-foo" commands.

Ideally, shell scripts should use the git wrapper to become independent
of PATH, and then modifying PATH will not be necessary.
