Fixes since Git 2.51.1

Recently we attempted to improve "git diff -w --quiet" and friends to handle cases where patch output would be suppressed, but it introduced a bug that emits unnecessary output, which has been corrected.
The code to squelch output from "git diff -w --name-status" etc. for paths that "git diff -w -p" would have stayed silent leaked output from dry-run patch generation, which has been corrected.
Windows "real-time monitoring" interferes with the execution of tests and affects negatively in both correctness and performance, which has been disabled in Gitlab CI.
An earlier addition to "git diff --no-index A B" to limit the output with pathspec after the two directories misbehaved when these directories were given with a trailing slash, which has been corrected.
The "--short" option of "git status" that meant output for humans and "-z" option to show NUL delimited output format did not mix well, and colored some but not all things. The command has been updated to color all elements consistently in such a case.
Unicode width table update.
Recent OpenSSH creates the Unix domain socket to communicate with ssh-agent under $HOME instead of /tmp, which causes our test to fail doe to overly long pathname in our test environment, which has been worked around by using "ssh-agent -T".
