Merge pull request #530 fixing some #525 Windows errors

+ git-daemon:
  + Use git-daemon PORT above 10k; on Windows all below need Admin rights.
  + Used relative daemon-paths with `--base-pth`.
  + Simplify git-daemon start/stop/ex-hanlding.
  +FIXED git-daemon  @with_rw_and_rw_remote_repo():
  + "Polish" most remote & config urls, converting \-->/.
  + test_base.test_with_rw_remote_and_rw_repo() PASS.
+ Remote: 
  + test_remote: apply polish-urls on `_do_test_fetch()` checking function.
  + test_remote.test_base() now freezes on Windows! (so still hidden win_err).
pump fetch-infos instead of GIL-reading stderr.
  + Push-cmd also keep (and optionally raise) any error messages.
+ `cmd.handle_process_output()` accepts null-finalizer, to pump completely
stderr before raising any errors.
+ test: Enable `TestGit.test_environment()` on Windows (to checks stderr
consumption).
+ util: delete unused `absolute_project_path()`.
+ Control separately *freezing* TCs on Windows with `git.util.HIDE_WINDOWS_FREEZE_ERRORS` flag.
