* strbuf_splice replace a portion of the buffer with another.
* strbuf_attach replace a strbuf buffer with the given one, that should be
  malloc'ed. Then it enforces strbuf's invariants. If alloc > len, then this
  function has negligible cost, else it will perform a realloc, possibly
  with a cost.

Also some style issues are fixed now.

  * Add strbuf_rtrim to remove trailing spaces.
  * Add strbuf_insert to insert data at a given position.
  * Off-by one fix in strbuf_addf: strbuf_avail() does not counts the final
    \0 so the overflow test for snprintf is the strict comparison. This is
    not critical as the growth mechanism chosen will always allocate _more_
    memory than asked, so the second test will not fail. It's some kind of
    miracle though.
  * Add size extension hints for strbuf_init and strbuf_read. If 0, default
    applies, else:
      + initial buffer has the given size for strbuf_init.
      + first growth checks it has at least this size rather than the
        default 8192.

  The gory details are explained in strbuf.h. The change of semantics this
patch enforces is that the embeded buffer has always a '\0' character after
its last byte, to always make it a C-string. The offs-by-one changes are all
related to that very change.

  A strbuf can be used to store byte arrays, or as an extended string
library. The `buf' member can be passed to any C legacy string function,
because strbuf operations always ensure there is a terminating \0 at the end
of the buffer, not accounted in the `len' field of the structure.

  A strbuf can be used to generate a string/buffer whose final size is not
really known, and then "strbuf_detach" can be used to get the built buffer,
and keep the wrapping "strbuf" structure usable for further work again.

  Other interesting feature: strbuf_grow(sb, size) ensure that there is
enough allocated space in `sb' to put `size' new octets of data in the
buffer. It helps avoiding reallocating data for nothing when the problem the
strbuf helps to solve has a known typical size.

This uses "git-apply --whitespace=strip" to fix whitespace errors that have
crept in to our source files over time.  There are a few files that need
to have trailing whitespaces (most notably, test vectors).  The results
still passes the test, and build result in Documentation/ area is unchanged.

This is a mechanical clean-up of the way *.c files include
system header files.

 (1) sources under compat/, platform sha-1 implementations, and
     xdelta code are exempt from the following rules;

 (2) the first #include must be "git-compat-util.h" or one of
     our own header file that includes it first (e.g. config.h,
     builtin.h, pkt-line.h);

 (3) system headers that are included in "git-compat-util.h"
     need not be included in individual C source files.

 (4) "git-compat-util.h" does not have to include subsystem
     specific header files (e.g. expat.h).

Fix various things that sparse complains about:
 - use NULL instead of 0
 - make sure we declare everything properly, or mark it static
 - use proper function declarations ("fn(void)" instead of "fn()")

Sparse is always right.

I just remembered why I placed that bogus "sb->len ==0 implies
sb->eof" condition there.  We need at least something like this
to catch the normal EOF (that is, line termination immediately
followed by EOF) case.  "if (feof(fp))" fires when we have
already read the eof, not when we are about read it.

They aren't EOF.

Introduce xmalloc and xrealloc to die gracefully with a descriptive
message when out of memory, rather than taking a SIGSEGV.

This patch introduces a new program, diff-tree-helper.  It reads
output from diff-cache and diff-tree, and produces a patch file.
The diff format customization can be done the same way the
show-diff uses; the same external diff interface introduced by
the previous patch to drive diff from show-diff is used so this
is not surprising.

It is used like the following examples:

   $ diff-cache --cached -z <tree> | diff-tree-helper -z -R paths...
   $ diff-tree -r -z <tree1> <tree2> | diff-tree-helper -z paths...

 - As usual, the use of the -z flag is recommended in the script
   to pass NUL-terminated filenames through the pipe between
   commands.

 - The -R flag is used to generate reverse diff.  It does not
   matter for diff-tree case, but it is sometimes useful to get
   a patch in the desired direction out of diff-cache.

 - The paths parameters are used to restrict the paths that
   appears in the output.  Again this is useful to use with
   diff-cache, which, unlike diff-tree, does not take such paths
   restriction parameters.
