git-gui: cleanup git-bash menu item

git-gui on Git for Windows creates a menu item to start a git-bash
session for the current repository. This menu-item works as desired when
git-gui is installed in the Git for Windows (g4w) distribution, but
not when run from a different location such as normally done in
development. The reason is that git-bash's location is known to be
'/git-bash' in the Unix pathname space known to MSYS, but this is not
known in the Windows pathname space. Instead, git-gui derives a pathname
for git-bash assuming it is at a known relative location.

If git-gui is run from a different directory than assumed in g4w, the
relative location changes, and git-gui resorts to running a generic bash
login session in a Windows console.

But, the MSYS system underlying Git for Windows includes the 'cygpath'
utility to convert between Unix and Windows pathnames. Let's use this so
git-bash's Windows pathname is determined directly from /git-bash.
