  1. windows: include the Python bits when building Git for Windows 

    While Git for Windows does not _ship_ Python (in order to save on
bandwidth), MSYS2 provides very fine Python interpreters that users can
easily take advantage of, by using Git for Windows within its SDK.

Previously, we excluded the Python bits, mostly due to historical
reasons: In the Git for Windows v1.x days, we built Git using
MSys/MinGW, without support for any Python scripts.

Therefore, let's move out the `NO_PYTHON` definition from the generic
part of the MINGW section (which includes special handling for MSYS2/Git
for Windows, for the long-superseded msysGit environment, as well as for
the setup of probably just one developer remaining with their MSys1)
into the two sections that cover different environments than Git for
Windows' SDK.

  2. mingw: remove unneeded NO_GETTEXT directive 

    In f9206ce (mingw: let's use gettext with MSYS2, 2016-01-26), we
flipped the switch to build Git for Windows with support for gettext.

However, the way we flipped the switch was by changing the value of the
`NO_GETTEXT` variable from a non-empty string to the empty string, as if
there was any `NO_GETTEXT` definition we needed to override.

But that was a mistake: while there _is_ a definition, it is in the
`THIS_IS_MSYSGIT` section, i.e. it does not affect the Git for Windows
part at all.

Let's just remove that unnecessary line.

  3. mingw: remove unneeded NO_CURL directive 

    In df5218b (config.mak.uname: support MSys2, 2016-01-13), we
introduced support for building Git for Windows in the then-brand new
Git for Windows v2.x build environment that was based off of MSYS2.

To do that, we split the non-msysGit part (that targeted MSys1) in two,
and instead of sharing the `NO_CURL = YesPlease` setting with MSys1, we
overrode it for MSYS2 with the empty value because we very much want to
build Git for Windows with libcurl.

But that was unnecessary: we never set that variable beforehand,
therefore there is no need to override it.

Let's just remove that unnecessary line.
