In "environment.h" we have quite a lot of functions and variables that
either explicitly or implicitly depend on `the_repository`.
The implicit set of stateful declarations includes for example variables
which get populated when parsing a repository's Git configuration. This
set of variables is broken by design, as their state often depends on
the last repository config that has been parsed. So they may or may not
represent the state of `the_repository`.
Fixing that is quite a big undertaking, and later patches in this series
will demonstrate a solution for a first small set of those variables. So
for now, let's guard these with `USE_THE_REPOSITORY_VARIABLE` so that
callers are aware of the implicit dependency.

On Windows, the backslash is the directory separator, even if the
forward slash can be used, too, at least since Windows NT.
This means that the paths `a/b` and `a\b` are equivalent, and
`fspathcmp()` needs to be made aware of that fact.
Note that we have to override both `fspathcmp()` and `fspathncmp()`, and
the former cannot be a mere pre-processor constant that transforms calls
to `fspathcmp(a, b)` into `fspathncmp(a, b, (size_t)-1)` because the
function `report_collided_checkout()` in `unpack-trees.c` wants to
assign `list.cmp = fspathcmp`.
Also note that `fspatheq()` does _not_ need to be overridden because it
calls `fspathcmp()` internally.

A regression for cygwin users was introduced with commit 05b458c,
"real_path: resolve symlinks by hand".
In the the commit message we read:
The current implementation of real_path uses chdir() in order to resolve
symlinks. Unfortunately this isn't thread-safe as chdir() affects a
process as a whole...
The old (and non-thread-save) OS calls chdir()/pwd() had been
replaced by a string operation.
The cygwin layer "knows" that "C:\cygwin" is an absolute path,
but the new string operation does not.
"git clone <url> C:\cygwin\home\USER\repo" fails like this:
fatal: Invalid path '/home/USER/repo/C:\cygwin\home\USER\repo'
The solution is to implement has_dos_drive_prefix(), skip_dos_drive_prefix()
is_dir_sep(), offset_1st_component() and convert_slashes() for cygwin
in the same way as it is done in 'Git for Windows' in compat/mingw.[ch]
Extract the needed code into compat/win32/path-utils.[ch] and use it
for cygwin as well.
