Description
updates the build.bat file in root folder to try best efforts to locate patch.exe.
patch.exe is needed to apply patches to some of the dependencies. for example, #17104. However, patch.exe is not available on every windows developer's search path, and if cannot find patch.exe, the build will continue silently. ( as a result, patch is not applied and for patches like #17104, this will cause a build break )
This change adds folder
C:\Program Files\Git\usr\bin
to the PATH, which is the default git installation directory. This may resolve the patch not found issue for most (hopefully) users.
