http: fix emptyAuth=auto for Negotiate/SPNEGO (#6170)

When a server advertises Negotiate (SPNEGO) authentication alongside
Basic, the "auto" mode of http.emptyAuth should allow libcurl to
attempt Kerberos authentication using the system ticket cache before
falling back to credential_fill(). Currently this never happens due
to an interaction between two older features.

The Negotiate-stripping logic from 4dbe66464b (remote-curl: fall back
to Basic auth if Negotiate fails, 2015-01-08) removes
CURLAUTH_GSSNEGOTIATE on the first 401, before the auto-detection
from 40a18fc77c (http: add an "auto" mode for http.emptyauth,
2017-02-25) gets a chance to see it as an "exotic" method. The result
is that auto mode silently degrades to the same behavior as
emptyAuth=false for any server whose only non-Basic/Digest method is
Negotiate, forcing Kerberos users to manually set http.emptyAuth=true
to get seamless ticket-based authentication.

This series fixes the interaction by delaying the Negotiate stripping
in auto mode by one round-trip, giving empty auth a chance to use the
system Kerberos ticket. If there is no valid ticket, Negotiate is
stripped on the second 401 and we fall through to credential_fill()
as before. The true and false modes are unchanged.

  Patch 1: Extract a http_reauth_prepare() helper from the three
           retry paths that call credential_fill() on HTTP_REAUTH.
           Pure refactor, no behavior change.

  Patch 2: Delay the GSSNEGOTIATE stripping in auto mode and teach
           http_reauth_prepare() to skip credential_fill() when
           empty auth should be attempted first.

  Patch 3: Add tests verifying that auto mode produces an extra
           round-trip (empty auth attempt) compared to false mode,
           using the existing nph-custom-auth.sh CGI infrastructure.

There is a trade-off in auto mode: when a server advertises Negotiate
but the client has no valid Kerberos ticket, there is one extra
round-trip compared to the current behavior. This matches the
trade-off already documented in 40a18fc77c. Users who want to avoid
it can set http.emptyAuth=false.

Detect number of cores better on multi-socket systems (#6108)

While the currently used way to detect the number of CPU cores ond
Windows is nice and straight-forward, GetSystemInfo() only [gives us
access to the number of processors within the current
group.](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/sysinfoapi/ns-sysinfoapi-system_info#members)

While that is usually fine for systems with a single physical CPU,
separate physical sockets are typically separate groups.

Switch to using GetLogicalProcessorInformationEx() to handle
multi-socket
systems better.

I've tested this on a physical single-socket x86-64 and a physical
dual-socket x86-64 system, and on a virtual single-socket ARM64 system.
Physical [multi-socket ARM64 systems seem to
exist](https://cloudbase.it/ampere-altra-industry-leading-arm64-server/),
but I don't have access to such hardware and the hypervisor I use
apparently can't emulate that either.

Winansi: Drop pre-Vista workaround (#6109)

https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/commit/1edeb9abf5828e317999b4ebe8b7472c494341f2
(Win32: warn if the console font doesn't support Unicode,
2014-06-10) introduced both code to detect the current console font on
Windows Vista and newer and a fallback for older systems to detect the
default console font and issue a warning if that font doesn't support
unicode.

Since we haven't supported any Windows older than Vista in almost a
decade, we don't need to keep the workaround.

This more or less fell out of #6108, but didn't quite fit into that PR.

There are also some other version specific hacks and workarounds I
considered dropping, but decided against:

*
https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/commit/492f70913e11de19bc4cb197b1fe195c645b89c9
* I'm unsure if this regression has ever been fixed or just become the
new normal.
* #5042
* So far this hasn't been an issue on Windows 8.1, but officially Go
1.21 and newer only support Windows 10 and newer. So this might become a
problem at any point.

cmake: use writev(3p) wrapper as needed

This is a companion patch of 3b9b2c2a29a (compat/posix: introduce
writev(3p) wrapper, 2026-03-13) where support for using the `writev()`
wrapper was introduced in the `Makefile` and the Meson-based build, but
the CMake build still needs that treatment, too.

Don't traverse mount points in `remove_dir_recurse()` (#6151)

`remove_dir_recurse()` in `dir.c` doesn't check for mount points, even
though this check was already added for `git clean` in #2268. So `git
worktree remove` (or anything else that calls it) will traverse NTFS
junctions and delete whatever is there. Similar to #607.

This extends the same check from #2268 but for anything that calls
`remove_dir_recurse()`.
