With the switch to 2.x, Git for Windows started relying on MSys2 instead of MSys. This also implies that we now have the `cygpath` tool that was formerly used to determine whether we're running Cygwin or MinGW/MSys.

Another issue: the code behind Repository>Create Desktop Icon generated a `.lnk` file that fails to launch the Git GUI in Git for Windows 2.x.

This topic branch fixes both bugs.
