 Add pieces from "scalar" to contrib/.

Thank you for picking it up. It seems as if the reviews are starting to
decrease to a point where I could imagine that we can start talking about
how to refactor things to start bringing the benefits to Git proper.

For what it's worth, I maintain a branch thicket on top of this branch
that has the remaining Scalar parts, both those parts that I still intend
to upstream as well as those parts that will most likely stay in
microsoft/git (e.g. the GVFS protocol-related parts, as it was decided
long ago that the VFS bits won't make it into Git proper, and
microsoft/git only needs these bits for compatibility with Azure Repos).

Here is the CI/PR run of that branch:
https://github.com/dscho/git/actions/runs/1216858695

And much more interesting is the run of the full Scalar Functional Tests
suite: https://github.com/dscho/git/actions/runs/1216858693

(Both pass, of course.)

Ciao,
Dscho
