git-wrapper: append $HOME/bin to the PATH

`$HOME/bin/` is quite convenient a place to put user-specific Git helpers, such as credential or remote helpers. When run in Git Bash, it is therefore already appended to the PATH; Let's do the equivalent when run in Git CMD: when `git.exe` is called, Git is told to look also for scripts and programs in `$HOME/bin` (this does not modify Git CMD's `PATH`, of course).
