path-conversion: Introduce ability to switch off conversion.
When calling windows native apps from MSYS2, the runtime tries to convert commandline arguments by a specific set of rules. This idea was inherited from the MSys/MinGW project (which is now seemingly stale, yet must be credited with championing this useful feature, see MinGW wiki https://web.archive.org/web/20201112005258/http://www.mingw.org/wiki/Posix_path_conversion). If the user does not want that behavior on a big scale, e.g. inside a Bash script, with the changes introduced in this commit, the user can now set the the environment variable `MSYS_NO_PATHCONV` when calling native windows commands. This is a feature that has been introduced in Git for Windows via git-for-windows/msys2-runtime#11 and it predates support for the `MSYS2_ENV_CONV_EXCL` and `MSYS2_ARG_CONV_EXCL` environment variables in the MSYS2 runtime; Many users find the simplicity of `MSYS_NO_PATHCONV` appealing. So let's teach MSYS2 proper this simple trick that still allows using the sophisticated `MSYS2_*_CONV_EXCL` facilities but also allows a convenient catch-all "just don't convert anything" knob.
