Some platforms provide a horribly broken snprintf. More broken than the
platforms that return -1 when there is too little space in the target buffer
for the formatted string. Some platforms provide an snprintf which _always_
returns the number of characters transmitted to the buffer, regardless of
whether there was enough space or not.
IRIX 6.5 is such a platform. IRIX does have a working snprintf(), but it
is only provided when _NO_XOPEN5 evaluates to zero, and this only happens
if _XOPEN_SOURCE is defined, but definition of _XOPEN_SOURCE prevents
inclusion of many other common functions and defines. So it must be avoided.
Work around these horribly broken snprintf implementations by detecting an
snprintf call which results in the number of transmitted characters exactly
equal to the length of our buffer and retrying with a larger buffer just to
be safe.

With this change GIT can be compiled and linked using MinGW. Builtins
that only read the repository such as the log family and grep already
work.
Simple stubs are provided for a number of functions that the Windows C
runtime does not offer. They will be completed in later patches.
However, a fix for the snprintf/vsnprintf replacement is applied here
to avoid buffer overflows.
Dmitry Kakurin pointed out that access(..., X_OK) would always fails on
Vista and suggested the -D__USE_MINGW_ACCESS workaround.

Some systems (namely HPUX and Windows) return -1 when maxsize in snprintf()
and in vsnprintf() is reached. So replace snprintf() and vsnprintf()
functions with our own ones that return correct value upon overflow.
[jc: verified that review comments by J6t have been incorporated, and
tightened the check to verify the resulting buffer contents, suggested
by Wayne Davison]
