1. win32: add a helper to run git.exe without a foreground window …

   On Windows, there are two kinds of executables, console ones and
   non-console ones. Git's executables are all console ones.
   
   When launching the former e.g. in a scheduled task, a CMD window pops
   up. This is not what we want for the tasks installed via the `git
   maintenance` command.
   
   To work around this, let's introduce `headless-git.exe`, which is a
   non-console program that does _not_ pop up any window. All it does is to
   re-launch `git.exe`, suppressing that console window, passing through
   all command-line arguments as-are.

2. git maintenance: avoid console window in scheduled tasks on Windows …

   We just introduced a helper to avoid showing a console window when the
   scheduled task runs `git.exe`. Let's actually use it.
