While Git still supports the dashed form (by hard-linking the `git` executable to the dashed name in `libexec/git-core/`), in practice, it is probably almost irrelevant. In fact, some platforms (such as Windows) only started gaining meaningful Git support _after_ the dashed form was deprecated, and therefore one would expect that all this hard-linking is unnecessary on those platforms. In addition to that, some programs that are regularly used to assess disk usage fail to realize that those are hard-links, and heavily overcount disk usage. Most notably, this was the case with Windows Explorer up until the last couple of Windows 10 versions. To save on the time needed to hard-link these dashed commands, and to eventually stop shipping with those hard-links on Windows, let's introduce a Makefile knob to skip generating them.
