MinGW: Add a simple getpass()

We need getpass() to activate curl on MinGW.  Although the default
Makefile currently has 'NO_CURL = YesPlease', msysgit releases do
provide curl support, so getpass() is used.

[spr: - edited commit message.
      - squashed commit that provides getpass() declaration.]
