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.


Johannes Schindelin (2):
  git-gui: fix detection of Cygwin
  git-gui (Windows): use git-gui.exe in `Create Desktop Shortcut`
