On some older Windows versions (e.g. Windows 7), the CreateProcessW() function does not really support spaces in its first argument, lpApplicationName. But it supports passing NULL as lpApplicationName, which makes it figure out the application from the (possibly quoted) first argument of lpCommandLine. Let's use that trick (if we are certain that the first argument matches the executable's path) to support launching programs whose path contains spaces. We will abuse the test-fake-ssh.exe helper to verify that this works and does not regress. This fixes git-for-windows#692 Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <[email protected]>

This is a patch to support older Windows versions (e.g. Windows 7) better.
I know, I know, Windows 7's End-Of-Life is now less than half a year away, but... I am unsure just how long Git for Windows will support Windows 7 beyond its officially-supported life; We still support Windows Vista, after all, which has been "sun-set" over two years ago.
