I recently registered the git-for-windows fork with Coverity to ensure
that even the Windows-specific patches get some static analysis love.

While at it, I squashed a couple of obvious issues in the part that is
not Windows-specific.

Note: while this patch series squashes some of those issues, the
remaining issues are not necessarily all false positives (e.g. Coverity
getting fooled by our FLEX_ARRAY trick into believing that the last
member of the struct is indeed a 0 or 1 size array) or intentional (e.g.
builtins not releasing memory because exit() is called right after
returning from the function that leaks memory).

Notable examples of the remaining issues are:

- a couple of callers of shorten_unambiguous_ref() assume that they do
  not have to release the memory returned from that function, often
  assigning the pointer to a `const` variable that typically does not
  hold a pointer that needs to be free()d. My hunch is that we will want
  to convert that function to have a fixed number of static buffers and
  use those in a round robin fashion à la sha1_to_hex().

- pack-redundant.c seems to have hard-to-reason-about code paths that
  may eventually leak memory. Essentially, the custody of the allocated
  memory is not clear at all.

- fast-import.c calls strbuf_detach() on the command_buf without any
  obvious rationale. Turns out that *some* code paths assign
  command_buf.buf to a `recent_command` which releases the buffer later.
  However, from a cursory look it appears to me as if there are some
  other code paths that skip that assignment, effectively causing a memory
  leak once strbuf_detach() is called.

Sadly, I lack the time to pursue those remaining issues further.

Changes since v3:

- used 0 (black) for the foreground color attributes in winansi when we
  have no console to print to, anyway.

- clarified in the commit message when we hit the path, and why, where
  we set the foreground color attributes to "all black".

- reworded the commit message talking about splitting the PATH (on
  Windows, it is delimited by semicolons, not colons, but it is even
  better to just talk about the path delimiters because it does not
  really happen which character is used, but it is important which role
  it plays).

- rewrote the split_commit_in_progress() function to have a more natural
  flow while still fixing the memory leak.
