Host environment

• Operating system: Windows 10 22H2, Msys2/Clang64

Description of problem

Executing configure from tar file fetches subprojects via git. Fetched subprojects are https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/dtc and https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/keycodemapdb

$ ./configure --disable-download

Using --disable-download is no option:

$ ./configure --disable-download

ERROR: missing subprojects

This is not a GIT checkout but subproject content appears to
be missing. Do not use 'git archive' or GitHub download links
to acquire QEMU source archives. Non-GIT builds are only
supported with source archives linked from:

  https://www.qemu.org/download/#source

If I understand the error message correctly, the subprojects should be part of the tar.

Steps to reproduce

1. Open Clang64 console
2. pacman -Syu
3. pacman -S binutils mingw-w64-clang-x86_64-toolchain mingw-w64-clang-x86_64-glib2 mingw-w64-clang-x86_64-ninja mingw-w64-clang-x86_64-pixman mingw-w64-clang-x86_64-python mingw-w64-clang-x86_64-python-sphinx mingw-w64-clang-x86_64-python-sphinx_rtd_theme
4. wget https://download.qemu.org/qemu-8.1.0-rc0.tar.xz
5. tar -xf qemu-8.1.0-rc0.tar.xz
6. cd qemu-8.1.0-rc0
7. ./configure or ./configure --disable-download
