git-gui: Always use absolute path to all git executables

Rather than making the C library search for git every time we want
to execute it we now search for the main git wrapper at startup, do
symlink resolution, and then always use the absolute path that we
found to execute the binary later on.  This should save us some
cycles, especially on stat challenged systems like Cygwin/Win32.

While I was working on this change I also converted all of our
existing pipes ([open "| git ..."]) to use two new pipe wrapper
functions.  These functions take additional options like --nice
and --stderr which instructs Tcl to take special action, like
running the underlying git program through `nice` (if available)
or redirect stderr to stdout for capture in Tcl.

git-gui: Refactor our ui_status_value update technique

I'm really starting to dislike global variables.  The ui_status_value
global varible is just one of those that seems to appear in a lot of
code and in many cases we didn't even declare it "global" within the
proc that updates it so we haven't always been getting all of the
updates we expected to see.

This change introduces two new global procs:

  ui_status $msg;   # Sets the status bar to show $msg.
  ui_ready;         # Changes the status bar to show "Ready."

The second (special) form is used because we often update the area
with this message once we are done processing a block of work and
want the user to know we have completed it.

I'm not fixing the cases that appear in lib/branch.tcl right now
as I'm actually in the middle of a huge refactoring of that code
to support making a detached HEAD checkout.

git-gui: Refactor into multiple files to save my sanity

I'm finding it difficult to work with a 6,000+ line Tcl script
and not go insane while looking for a particular block of code.
Since most of the program is organized into different units of
functionality and not all users will need all units immediately
on startup we can improve things by splitting procs out into
multiple files and let auto_load handle things for us.

This should help not only to better organize the source, but
it may also improve startup times for some users as the Tcl
parser does not need to read as much script before it can show
the UI.  In many cases the user can avoid reading at least half
of git-gui now.

Unfortunately we now need a library directory in our runtime
location.  This is currently assumed to be $(sharedir)/git-gui/lib
and its expected that the Makefile invoker will setup some sort of
reasonable sharedir value for us, or let us assume its going to be
$(gitexecdir)/../share.

We now also require a tclsh (in TCL_PATH) to just run the Makefile,
as we use tclsh to generate the tclIndex for our lib directory.  I'm
hoping this is not an unncessary burden on end-users who are building
from source.

I haven't really made any functionality changes here, this is just a
huge migration of code from one file to many smaller files.  All of
the new changes are to setup the library path and install the library
files.
