[PATCH 0/2] Really fix the isatty() problem on Windows

My previous fix may have fixed running the new
t/t6030-bisect-porcelain.sh script that tested the new bisect--helper,
which in turn used isatty() to determine whether it was running
interactively and was fooled by being redirected to /dev/null.

But it not only broke paging when running in a CMD window, due to
testing in the wrong worktree I also missed that it broke paging in Git
for Windows 2.x' Git Bash (i.e. a MinTTY terminal emulator).

Let's use this opportunity to actually clean up the entire isatty() mess
once and for all, as part of the problem was introduced by a clever hack
that messes with internals of the Microsoft C runtime, and which changed
recently, so it was not such a clever hack to begin with.

Happily, one of my colleagues had to address that latter problem
recently when he was tasked to make Git compile with Microsoft Visual C
(the rationale: debugging facilities of Visual Studio are really
outstanding, try them if you get a chance).

And incidentally, replacing the previous hack with the clean, new
solution, which specifies explicitly for the file descriptors 0, 1 and 2
whether we detected an MSYS2 pseudo-tty, whether we detected a real
Win32 Console, and whether we had to swap out a real Win32 Console for a
pipe to allow child processes to inherit it.

Hannes, I am really sorry that I did not test the original attempt
better, I tried to be a better boy this time. Could you maybe also give
it a try?

The current patch series is based on `pu`, as that already has the
winansi_get_osfhandle() fix. For ease of testing, I also have a branch
based on master which you can pull via
