Git for Windows 2.5.1

In addition to synchronizing with Git 2.5.1, this release also contains
the following bug fixes:

* Backspace works with ConHost-based (`cmd.exe`) terminal.

* When there is a `~/.bashrc` but no `~/.bash_profile`, the latter will
  be created automatically.

* When calling a non-login shell, the prompt now works.

* The text in the installer describing the terminal emulator options is
  no longer cut off.

* The `connect.exe` tool to allow SSH connections via HTTP/HTTPS/SOCKS
  proxies is included in Git for Windows again, as it was in Git for
  Windows 1.x.

* The `LANG` variable is no longer left unset (which caused troubles
  with vim).

* `call start-ssh-agent` no longer spits out bogus lines.

* It is now possible even behind NTLM-authenticated proxies to install
  Git for Windows' SDK.

* We can handle the situation now when the first `$PATH` elements point
  outside of Git for Windows' `bin/` directories and contain `.dll`
  files that interfere with our own (e.g. PostgreSQL's `libintl-8.dll`).
