Merge pull request #313: [EXP] maintenance: fix bug, add headless-git.exe

There is a bug that uses the wrong encoding in the current `vfs-2.30.0*` branches. This was fixed upstream but is still wrong here.

Also take the relevant commits from git-for-windows/git#2974 to add `headless-git.exe` to the installer and use that instead of `git.exe` to avoid a console window on the Windows platform.
