Subject: [PATCH v13a 3/9] ci: Make msys2 install smaller

We only needed git and diffutils installed via pacman because the already
installed tools where hidden by the login script resetting PATH. "Fix" that
instead by telling msys to leave the old PATH around.

Also don't install libbacktrace it is not needed at the moment.
