mingw-w64-git-credential-manager: don't cross-polute archs#673
Merged

We have been downloading and extracting the pre-built binaries for Git Credential Manager to the same $srcdir directory, meaning that when we build multiple architectures we're not always starting from a clean slate and have been grabbing binaries from other architectures. Before we added support for x86_64 and clangarm64 native binaries, this was OK since we only downloaded the i686 flavour of GCM files. Update the PKGBUILD to no longer extract the GCM binaries, but manually extract them to an architecture-specific directory - this way we don't cross-contaminate.
