since 5e1f28d206 (bisect--helper: reimplement `bisect_visualize()` shell
function in C, 2021-09-13) `git bisect visualize` uses exists_in_PATH()
to check wether it should call `gitk`, but exists_in_PATH() relies on
locate_in_PATH() which currently only understands POSIX-ish PATH variables
(a list of paths, separated by colons) on native Windows executables
we encounter Windows PATH variables (a list of paths that often contain
drive letters (and thus colons), separated by semicolons). Luckily we do
already have a function that can lookup executables on windows PATHs:
mingw_path_lookup(). Teach locate_in_PATH() to use mingw_path_lookup()
on Windows.
