rsync is only needed for rsync special remotes and git-annex-shell from
Debian oldstable. Since the library situation on windows for rsync required
a particular 32 bit build of git for it to work, and may also somehow need
git-annex to be 32 bit build, it's better to not include it.

stack upgrade --git is failing on windows, the ghc version it downloaded to
upgrade itself does not work:
11:06:25 Configuring base-compat-0.9.3...
11:06:25 Cabal-simple_Z6RU0evB_2.0.1.0_ghc-8.2.2.exe: The program 'ghc-pkg' is required
11:06:25 but the version of
11:06:25 C:\Users\jenkins\AppData\Local\Programs\stack\i386-windows\ghc-8.2.2\bin\ghc-pkg.EXE
11:06:25 could not be determined.
This way, autobuilders can run it before building, in a tree where
git-annex was already built, and get the current git rev embedded in the
build.
Before, the version number only updated when the setup program was run,
which was up to cabal and not on every build.
fatal: Invalid path '/cygdrive/c/jenkins/workspace/git-annex-master/git-annex/.stack-work/downloaded/C:\jenkins\workspace\git-annex-master\git-annex\.stack-work\downloaded\56E6vnUQljVi': No such file or directory
Get ugly reversion out of CHANGELOG.
Also, relocated the windows stack.yaml to top, and updated windows build
instructions.

wget was broken even in the previous old release of the windows bundle,
this is not new breakage. msys-idn-11.dll and probably more would be needed
to use it. git for windows includes msys-idn2-0.dll instead.
Not tested yet.
The EvilLinker workaround is removed. That got fixed in ghc 8.0.1,
(per https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8596)
which will finally be used by the windows autobuilder now.
I have not deleted the EvilLinker yet (or closed its bugs).
