Re: [PATCH 1/2] subtree: fix the GIT_EXEC_PATH sanity check to work on Windows

From: Johannes Schindelin <redacted>

In 22d550749361 (subtree: don't fuss with PATH, 2021-04-27), `git
subtree` was broken thoroughly on Windows.

The reason is that it assumes Unix semantics, where `PATH` is
colon-separated, and it assumes that `$GIT_EXEC_PATH:` is a verbatim
prefix of `$PATH`. Neither are true, the latter in particular because
`GIT_EXEC_PATH` is a Windows-style path, while `PATH` is a Unix-style
path list.

Let's keep the original spirit, and hack together something that
unbreaks the logic on Windows.

A more thorough fix would look at the inode of `$GIT_EXEC_PATH` and of
the first component of `$PATH`, to make sure that they are identical,
but that is even trickier to do in a portable way.

This fixes https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/issues/3260
