Merge branch 'mingw-expand-absolute-user-path'

When compiling Git with a runtime prefix (so that it can be installed
into any location, finding its libexec/ directory relative to the
location of the `git` executable), it is convenient to provide
"absolute" Unix-y paths e.g. for http.sslCAInfo, and have those absolute
paths be resolved relative to the runtime prefix.

This patch makes it so for Windows. It is up for discussion whether we
want this for other platforms, too, as long as building with
RUNTIME_PREFIX.
