[GIT GUI PATCH] git-gui: open console when using --trace on windows

When starting a gui program on windows stdout, stderr and stdin are not connected to the cmd console. As a workaround tk has a console window. Lets open this when the --trace commandline option has been given. This is helpful for debugging.
