VFS For Git 1.0.20175.6

Major Changes

• This is a security release on top of VFS for Git 1.0.20156.1.
• Includes Git v2.27.0.vfs.1.0.
• The .vfs. versions of Git were bundling old packages from git-for-windows/build-extra, so they included versions with known security flaws. None of these had known problems in use with Git, but other software or scripts might use those packages, so it is safest to update them.
