From: Jeff Hostetler <jeffhost@microsoft.com>

Teach FSMonitor daemon on Windows to recognize shortname paths as
aliases of normal longname paths.  FSMonitor clients, such as `git
status`, should receive the longname spelling of changed files (when
possible).

Sometimes we receive FS events using the shortname, such as when a CMD
shell runs "RENAME GIT~1 FOO" or "RMDIR GIT~1".  The FS notification
arrives using whatever combination of long and shortnames were used by
the other process.  (Shortnames do seem to be case normalized,
however.)

Use Windows GetLongPathNameW() to try to map the pathname spelling in
the notification event into the normalized longname spelling.  (This
can fail if the file/directory is deleted, moved, or renamed, because
we are asking the FS for the mapping in response to the event and
after it has already happened, but we try.)

Special case the shortname spelling of ".git" to avoid under-reporting
these events.

I recall when we first discovered that this was important for users.
I'm glad we haven't needed to worry about it since this fix.

This is particularly critical due to the case of deleting the .git
directory being really important to catch, but GetLongPathNameW()
won't work in that case.

This NEEDSWORK is something I saw while reading that makes it seem
like we _need_ to do something here. I think this is an appropriate
short-term solution that we can revisit if necessary. I don't
anticipate that actually being the case, though.
