Johannes Schindelin 8fff84c417 t9700: accommodate for MSYS2 Perl reporting as cygwin ...

As of a year or two ago, there is this push to align MSYS2 more closely
with Cygwin, so as to benefit from a closer collaboration. Part of that
is that the triplet `x86_64-pc-cygwin` is used nowadays, whereas it had
been `x86_64-pc-msys` previously. Likewise, Perl now reports `$^O` as
`cygwin` instead of `msys`.

The Perl module test used `msys` as tell-tale when to accommodate for a
native Windows version of `git.exe` which would report absolute
_Windows_ paths rather than those pseudo-Unix paths. We cannot use that
tell-tale anymore, and we also cannot adjust it to `cygwin` because that
would break in Cygwin (where `git.exe` reports absolute pseudo-Unix
paths).

Let's use the environment variable `MSYSTEM` instead (being mindful that
the `MSYSTEM=MSYS` variant would _also_ reflect a setup where `git.exe`
won't report absolute _Windows_ paths).
