Every once in a while, the Azure Pipeline fails with some semi-random
error: timer thread did not terminate timely
This error message means that the thread that is used to emulate the
setitimer() function did not terminate within 1,000 milliseconds.
The most likely explanation (and therefore the one we should assume to
be true, according to Occam's Razor) is that the timeout of one second
is simply not enough because we try to run so many tasks in parallel.
So let's give it ten seconds instead of only one. That should be enough.

Instead of a shallow fetch followed by a sparse checkout, we are
better off by using a separate, dedicated Pipeline that bundles
the SDK as a build artifact, and then consuming that build artifact
here.
In fact, since this artifact will be used a lot, we spent substantial
time on figuring out a minimal subset of the Git for Windows SDK, just
enough to build and test Git. The result is a size reduction from around
1GB (compressed) to around 55MB (compressed). This also comes with the
change where we now call `usr\bin\bash.exe` directly, as `git-cmd.exe`
is not included in the minimal SDK.
That reduces the time to initialize Git for Windows' SDK from anywhere
between 2m30s-7m to a little over 1m.
Note: in theory, we could also use the DownloadBuildArtifacts@0 task
here. However, restricted permissions that are in effect when building
from forks would let this fail for PR builds, defeating the whole
purpose of the Azure Pipelines support for git.git.

Previously, we did not have robust support for Windows in our CI
definition, simply because Travis cannot accommodate our needs (even
after Travis added experimental Windows support very recently, it takes
longer than Travis' 50 minute timeout to build Git and run the test
suite on Windows). Instead, we used a hack that started a dedicated
Azure Pipeline from Travis and waited for the output, often timing out
(which is quite fragile, as we found out).
With this commit, we finally have first-class support for Windows in our
CI definition (in the Azure Pipelines one, that is).
Due to our reliance on Unix shell scripting in the test suite, combined
with the challenges on executing such scripts on Windows, the Windows
job currently takes a whopping ~1h20m to complete. Which is *far* longer
than the next-longest job takes (linux-gcc, ~35m).
Now, Azure Pipelines's free tier for open source projects (such as Git)
offers up to 10 concurrent jobs for free, meaning that the overall run
time will be dominated by the slowest job(s).
Therefore, it makes sense to start the Windows job first, to minimize
the time the entire build takes from start to end (which is now pretty
safely the run time of the Windows job).

This commit adds an azure-pipelines.yml file which is Azure DevOps'
equivalent to Travis CI's .travis.yml.
The main idea is to replicate the Travis configuration as faithfully as
possible, to make it easy to compare the Azure Pipeline builds to the
Travis ones (spoiler: some parts, especially the macOS jobs, are way
faster in Azure Pileines). Meaning: the number and the order of the jobs
added in this commit faithfully replicates what we have in .travis.yml.
Note: Our .travis.yml configuration has a Windows part that is *not*
replicated in the Azure Pipelines definition. The reason is easy to see:
As Travis cannot support our Windws needs (even with the preliminary
Windows support that was recently added to Travis after waiting for
*years* for that feature, our test suite would simply hit Travis'
timeout every single time).
To make things a bit easier to understand, we refrain from using the
`matrix` feature here because (while it is powerful) it can be a bit
confusing to users who are not familiar with CI setups. Therefore, we
use a separate phase even for similar configurations (such as GCC vs
Clang on Linux, GCC vs Clang on macOS).
Also, we make use of the shiny new feature we just introduced where the
test suite can output JUnit-style .xml files. This information is made
available in a nice UI that allows the viewer to filter by phase and/or
test number, and to see trends such as: number of (failing) tests, time
spent running the test suite, etc. (While this seemingly contradicts the
intention to replicate the Travis configuration as faithfully as
possible, it is just too nice to show off that capability here already.)

This patch introduces a conditional arm that defines some environment
variables and a function that displays the URL given the job id (to
identify previous runs for known-good trees).
Because Azure Pipeline's macOS agents already have git-lfs and gettext
installed, we can leave `BREW_INSTALL_PACKAGES` empty (unlike in
Travis' case).
Note: this patch does not introduce an Azure Pipelines definition yet;
That is left for the next patch.

This will come in handy when publishing the results of Git's test suite
during an automated Azure DevOps run.
Note: we need to make extra sure that invalid UTF-8 encoding is turned
into valid UTF-8 (using the Replacement Character, \uFFFD) because
t9902's trace contains such invalid byte sequences, and the task in the
Azure Pipeline that uploads the test results would refuse to do anything
if it was asked to parse an .xml file with invalid UTF-8 in it.

In the next commit, we want to teach Git's test suite to optionally
output test results in JUnit-style .xml files. These files contain
information about the time spent. So we need a way to measure time.
While we could use `date +%s` for that, this will give us only seconds,
i.e. very coarse-grained timings.
GNU `date` supports `date +%s.%N` (i.e. nanosecond-precision output),
but there is no equivalent in BSD `date` (read: on macOS, we would not
be able to obtain precise timings).
So let's introduce `test-tool date getnanos`, with an optional start
time, that outputs preciser values. Note that this might not actually
give us nanosecond precision on some platforms, but it will give us as
precise information as possible, without the portability issues of shell
commands.
Granted, it is a bit pointless to try measuring times accurately in
shell scripts, certainly to nanosecond precision. But it is better than
second-granularity.

Symbolic links are still not quite as easy to use on Windows as on Linux
(for example, on versions older than Windows 10, only administrators can
create symlinks, and on Windows 10 you still need to be in developer
mode for regular users to have permission), but NTFS junctions can give
us a way out.

The upcoming patches will allow building git.git via Azure Pipelines
(i.e. Azure DevOps' Continuous Integration), where variable names and
URLs look a bit different than in Travis CI.
Also, the configurations of the available agents are different. For
example, Travis' and Azure Pipelines' macOS agents are set up
differently, so that on Travis, we have to install the git-lfs and
gettext Homebrew packages, and on Azure Pipelines we do not need to.
Likewise, Azure Pipelines' Ubuntu agents already have asciidoctor
installed.
Finally, on Azure Pipelines the natural way is not to base64-encode tar
files of the trash directories of failed tests, but to publish build
artifacts instead. Therefore, that code to log those base64-encoded tar
files is guarded to be Travis-specific.

When building a PR, TRAVIS_BRANCH refers to the *target branch*.
Therefore, if a PR targets `master`, and `master` happened to be tagged,
we skipped the build by mistake.
Fix this by using TRAVIS_PULL_REQUEST_BRANCH (i.e. the *source branch*)
when available, falling back to TRAVIS_BRANCH (i.e. for CI builds, also
known as "push builds").
Let's give it a new variable name, too: CI_BRANCH (as it is different
from TRAVIS_BRANCH). This also prepares for the upcoming patches which
will make our ci/* code a bit more independent from Travis and open it
to other CI systems (in particular to Azure Pipelines).

"git cherry-pick -m1" was forbidden when picking a non-merge
commit, even though there _is_ parent number 1 for such a commit.
This was done to avoid mistakes back when "cherry-pick" was about
picking a single commit, but is no longer useful with "cherry-pick"
that can pick a range of commits. Now the "-m$num" option is
allowed when picking any commit, as long as $num names an existing
