Subsequent patches will introduce file formats that make use of a fanout
array and a sorted table containing hashes, just like packfiles.
Refactor the hash search in packfile.c into its own function, so that
those patches can make use of it as well.

In commit 628522ec ("sha1-lookup: more memory efficient search in
sorted list of SHA-1", 2008-04-09), a different algorithm for searching
a sorted list was introduced, together with a set of log statements
guarded by GIT_DEBUG_LOOKUP that are invoked both when using that
algorithm and when using the existing binary search. Those log
statements was meant for experiments and debugging, but with the removal
of the aforementioned different algorithm in commit f1068efe
("sha1_file: drop experimental GIT_USE_LOOKUP search", 2017-08-09),
those log statements are probably no longer necessary.

Remove those statements.

d9bd4cbb (config: flip return value of store_write_*()) made
write_section() follow the convention of write(2) to return -1 on error
and the number of written bytes on success.  3b48045c (Merge branch
'sd/branch-copy') changed it back to returning 0 on error and 1 on
success, but left its callers still checking for negative values.

Let write_section() follow the convention of write(2) again to meet the
expectations of its callers.

Some diff implementations don't report missing newlines at the end of
files.  Applying such a patch can cause a newline character to be
added inadvertently.  The option --inaccurate-eof of git apply can be
used to remove trailing newlines if needed.

apply_one_fragment() cuts it off from the buffers for preimage and
postimage.  Before it does, it builds an array with the lengths of each
line for both.  Make sure to update the length of the last line in
these line info structures as well to keep them consistent with their
respective buffer.

Without this fix the added test fails; git apply dies and reports:

   fatal: BUG: caller miscounted postlen: asked 1, orig = 1, used = 2

That sanity check is only called if whitespace changes are ignored.

If the index cannot be locked in do_recursive_merge(), issue an
error message and go on to the error recovery codepath, instead of
dying.  When the commit cannot be picked, it needs to be rescheduled
when performing an interactive rebase, but just dying there won't
allow that to happen, and when the user runs 'git rebase --continue'
rather than 'git rebase --abort', the commit gets silently dropped.

As explained in commit 06f46f23 (avoid "write_in_full(fd, buf, len)
!= len" pattern, 2017–09–13) the return value of write_in_full() is
either -1 or the requested number of bytes. As such comparing the
return value to an unsigned value such as strbuf.len will fail to
catch errors. Change the code to use the preferred '< 0' check.
