When setting up Meson we detect a couple of executables that we rely on
in order to build Git and prepend their respective directories to PATH.
This is done so that Windows can locate these tools at build time in
case they aren't included in the default PATH, as we know to pick up
those required build tools from the Git for Windows path explicitly.
The list of executables we check against is somewhat excessive though,
as many of the tools are all part of coreutils. Let's deduplicate them
so that we only check for one binary that is part of it, namely cat(1).
