tests: replace mingw_test_cmp with a helper in C

This helper is slightly more performant than the script with MSYS2's
Bash. And a lot more readable.

To accommodate t1050, which wants to compare files weighing in with 3MB
(falling outside of t1050's malloc limit of 1.5MB), we simply lift the
allocation limit by setting the environment variable GIT_ALLOC_LIMIT to
zero when calling the helper.
