Second "Release Candidate" of v2.18.0

First "Release Candidate" of v2.18.0, take 3

The first attempt failed to bundle PCRE2, even if it is now a dependency
(superseding PCRE, which is no longer needed). The second attempt still
failed to bundle *some* PCRE2 .dll files. Unfortunately the ones that
are necessary even to run git.exe.

Git for Windows v2.17.1

Bug Fixes

  * Fixed an issue with recursive clone (CVE 2018-11235).
  * Aliases that expand to shell commands can now take arguments
    containing curly brackets.

    emulates the way Ctrl+C is handled in Git CMD, but in a
    fine-grained way.
  * Based on the the new Ctrl+C handling in Git Bash, pressing Ctrl+C
    while git log is running will only stop Git from traversing the
    commit history, but keep the pager running.
  * Git was fixed to work correctly in Docker volumes inside Windows
    containers.
  * Tab completion of git status -- <partial-path> is now a lot faster.
  * Git for Windows now creates directory symlinks correctly when asked
    to.
  * The option to disable revocation checks with Secure Channel which
    was introduced in v2.16.1(2) now really works.
  * Git no longer enters an infinite loop when misspelling git status
    as, say, git Status.
