📄 Description

Relevant Issue (if applicable)

Closes #728

Details

Added support to compile s3fs-fuse on/for Windows.
It requires MSYS2 environment.
To complete the compilation, it was needed to put polyfills for functions that do not exist in MSYS2.
This pull request also adds the polyfills tho.

Confirmed that works:

Mounting to a drive (.\s3fs.exe [bucket] "S:" -f -o uid=-1 -o gid=-1 -o umask=0000 -o mp_umask=0000)
Listing, stating, reading, and writing files
Naming files/directories in CJK languages (Unicode support confirmed)

Known issues:

MSYS2 shell is required to execute because s3fs-fuse try to find AWS credentials only from /home/$USER/.aws/credentials, which does not exist on Windows

This pull request does not propose full support for Windows.
This is just a initial experiment to port this project to Windows, a not *nix operating system.
Note that the changes will not break any backward compatibility on *nix platforms.
