    make update-server-info more robust · d38379ec

    Since "git update-server-info" may be called automatically
    as part of a push or a "gc --auto", we should be robust
    against two processes trying to update it simultaneously.
    However, we currently use a fixed tempfile, which means that
    two simultaneous writers may step on each other's toes and
    end up renaming junk into place.
    
    Let's instead switch to using a unique tempfile via mkstemp.
    We do not want to use a lockfile here, because it's OK for
    two writers to simultaneously update (one will "win" the
    rename race, but that's OK; they should be writing the same
    information).
    
    While we're there, let's clean up a few other things:
    
      1. Detect write errors. Report them and abort the update
         if any are found.
    
      2. Free path memory rather than leaking it (and clean up
         the tempfile when necessary).
    
      3. Use the pathdup functions consistently rather than
         static buffers or manually calculated lengths.
    
    This last one fixes a potential overflow of "infofile" in
    update_info_packs (e.g., by putting large junk into
    $GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY). However, this overflow was probably
    not an interesting attack vector for two reasons:
    
      a. The attacker would need to control the environment to
         do this, in which case it was already game-over.
    
      b. During its setup phase, git checks that the directory
         actually exists, which means it is probably shorter
         than PATH_MAX anyway.
    
    Because both update_info_refs and update_info_packs share
    these same failings (and largely duplicate each other), this
    patch factors out the improved error-checking version into a
    helper function.
