git-svn: mark it as unsupported by the Git for Windows project (#5923)

There have been too many challenges supporting `git svn`, including lack
of participation in developing/maintaining the required stack.

See https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/issues/5405 for full details.

diff: stop output garbled message in dry run mode

In dry run mode, diff_flush_patch() should not produce any output.
However, in commit b55e6d36eb (diff: ensure consistent diff behavior
with ignore options, 2025-08-08), only the output during the
comparison of two file contents was suppressed. For file deletions
or mode changes, diff_flush_patch() still produces output. In
run_extern_diff(), set quiet to true if in dry run mode. In
emit_diff_symbol_from_struct(), directly return if in dry run mode.

diff: restore redirection to /dev/null for diff_from_contents

Note: This is _not_ strictly necessary, but adds a layer of protection
against bugs similar to the one that was reported very quickly after Git
v2.51.1 was released, one time via
https://lore.kernel.org/git/CACJRbWjwOQwJB13CwTfvhV3p+Hbn4KrNM9AtBanGtUS4V_1MbQ@mail.gmail.com/
and one time via
https://lore.kernel.org/git/[email protected]/.

In --quiet mode, since we produce only an exit code for "something was
changed" and no actual output, we can often get by with just a
tree-level diff. However, certain options require us to actually look at
the file contents (e.g., if we are ignoring whitespace changes). We have
a flag "diff_from_contents" for that, and if it is set we call
diff_flush() on each path.

To avoid producing any output (since we were asked to be --quiet), we
traditionally just redirected the output to /dev/null. That changed in
b55e6d36eb (diff: ensure consistent diff behavior with ignore options,
2025-08-08), which replaced that with a "dry_run" flag. In theory, with
dry_run set, we should produce no output. But it carries a risk of
regression: if we forget to respect dry_run in any of the output paths,
we'll accidentally produce output.

And indeed, there is at least one such regression in that commit, as it
covered only the case where we actually call into xdiff, and not
creation or deletion diffs, where we manually generate the headers. We
even test this case in t4035, but only with diff-tree, which does not
show the bug by default because it does not require diff_from_contents.
But git-diff does, because it allows external diff programs by default
(so we must dig into each diff filepair to decide if it requires running
an external diff that may declare two distinct blobs to actually be the
same).

We should fix all of those code paths to respect dry_run correctly, but
in the meantime we can protect ourselves more fully by restoring the
redirection to /dev/null. This gives us an extra layer of protection
against regressions dues to other code paths we've missed.

Though the original issue was reported with "git diff" (and due to its
default of --ext-diff), I've used "diff-tree -w" in the new test. It
triggers the same issue, but I think the fact that "-w" implies
diff_from_contents is a bit more obvious, and fits in with the rest of
t4035.

Fix `curl_easy_setopt()` parameter type problem, again (#5858)

As of three weeks ago, every CI build of Git for Windows' ARM64 flavor
of its SDK started failing (the first failed build is this
[here](https://github.com/git-for-windows/git-sdk-arm64/actions/runs/17633130672/job/50104373185)).

I had mistaken this for a problem with `git/git` and therefore tried to
fast-track (for some definition of "fast") the patch into `git/git`, but
I had forgotten that I changed `git-sdk-arm64`'s `ci-artifacts` workflow
[to build `git-for-windows/git`
instead](https://github.com/git-for-windows/git-sdk-arm64/commit/1b7ec02e29ae3638cf93b603ad2f9a2248b0e85e)
(because of the problems that needed to be fixed).

So let's integrate these patches into Git for Windows before they
trickle in via a new Git version (which is [currently scheduled for
November 17th, 2025](https://gh.io/gitCal)).

This is a companion of https://github.com/gitgitgadget/git/pull/1974.

Now I did, and my speculations were both correct.  The SANITIZE=leak
build fails, and with these two releases the test passes.

You can squash this in, or I can do so myself if you like, if this
is the only change that is required.
