[Feature]PI should use system Git if it is already installed, rather than downloading a new copy about projectinfinity

[ALIENQuake]

This will be fixed in the next version, no ETA.

@ALIENQuake Hoping this can get worked on. Here's some additional info from the ProjectInfinity-Tools-Download log:

Required Git 2.30.2 is missing
Any local Git version is missing
Global Git is missing

Git is definitely installed but is not being detected by PI. Is perhaps PI looking for the exact version 2.30.2? I'm currently running 2.43.0

If not, there's something wrong with PI's Git detection code as according to the log it's looking for a "Global Git" install and not finding it.

@elisimpson Hey,

1. Can you successfully launch git simply by typing git --version in the console?
2. What's the outcome of this code executed in Windows PowerShell:

function Get-GitGlobalPath {
    # check if git can be launched as global tool
    $ErrorActionPreference = 'SilentlyContinue'
    $p = Start-Process "git" -ArgumentList '--version' -WindowStyle Hidden -Wait -PassThru 
    $ErrorActionPreference = 'Continue'
    if ($null -ne $p -and $p.ExitCode -eq 0) {
        [version]$global:gitGlobalVersion = (Get-Item ($p.StartInfo.FileName) -Force).VersionInfo.FileVersionRaw
        $gitPath = 'git'
    }
    else {
        $gitPath = $null
    }
    $gitPath
}

Get-GitGlobalPath

1. yes ... "git version 2.43.0.windows.1"
2. script outputs "git"

Despite git being available PI always thinks it needs to download a local copy for the Tools dir
