[PATCH] msvc: fix "REG_STARTEND" issue

From: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de>

In 897d68e7af82 (Makefile: use curl-config --cflags, 2020-03-26), we taught the build process to use `curl-config --cflags` to make sure that it can find cURL's headers.

In the MSVC build, this is completely bogus because we're running in a Git for Windows SDK whose `curl-config` supports the _GCC_ build.

Let's just ignore each and every `-I<path>` option where `<path>` points to GCC/Clang specific headers.

Reported by Jeff Hostetler in https://github.com/microsoft/git/issues/275.

    msvc: fix "REG_STARTEND" issue
    
    The MSVC build is actually not tested in our CI/PR builds, that's how
    this regression could creep in.
