CONTRIBUTING.md: fix PuTTY URL (#5725)

Already in c2a2fd57402e (CONTRIBUTING.md: add guide for first-time
contributors, 2018-03-01) there were _two_ links added for PuTTY, one
being the correct, official one, and the other an official-looking one
owned by a third-party. Let's only use the official one.

Replace experimental path walk feature with upstream version (#5689)

This reverts the experimental version of the `git repack --path-walk`
feature and replaces it with the version that recently merged with
upstream. It includes `fixup!` commits for the reverts of the previous
feature for easy reduction in the branch thicket during the 2.51.0
release window.

> Note: In the current version, I have not performed any local
validation, only resolved one text merge conflict.

mingw: support Windows Server 2016 again

It was reported to the Git for Windows project that a simple `git init`
fails on Windows Server 2016:

  D:\Dev\test> git init
  error: could not write config file D:/Dev/test/.git/config: Function not implemented
  fatal: could not set 'core.repositoryformatversion' to '0'

According to https://endoflife.date/windows-server, Windows Server 2016
is officially supported for another one-and-a-half years as of time of
writing, so this is not good.

The culprit is the `mingw_rename()` changes that try to use POSIX
semantics when available, but fail to fall back properly on Windows
Server 2016.

This fixes https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/issues/5695.

Reapply "bswap.h: add support for built-in bswap functions"

The `bswap.h` header was introduced to fix the Windows/ARM64 build.
Unfortunately, this broke big Endian machines. Instead of fixing it
properly, upstream Git simply reverted the commit in 1c62df0abe3d
(Revert "bswap.h: add support for built-in bswap functions",
2025-06-12), re-breaking the Windows/ARM64 build.

Let's re-un-break the Windows/ARM64 build by reverting 1c62df0abe3d
(Revert "bswap.h: add support for built-in bswap functions",
2025-06-12).
