We implement the equivalent of the existing --test-scalar-on-path functional test command-line option for Git also, namely by adding a new --test-git-on-path option.
This permits the manual execution of the functional test suite on systems where the default installation of Git may not be sufficient to support Scalar; e.g., it may be an older version or not the Microsoft Git custom package.
The existing CI jobs are not affected by this change as the default when the new command-line option is not provided is to continue to look for Git as C:\Program Files\Git\cmd\git.exe on Windows and /usr/local/bin/git on macOS, as the functional test program did before.
