To correctly perform its testing function,
test-dump-untracked-cache should not change the state of the
untracked cache in the index.

As a previous patch makes read_index_from() change the state of
the untracked cache and as test-dump-untracked-cache indirectly
calls this function, we need a mechanism to prevent
read_index_from() from changing the untracked cache state when
it's called from test-dump-untracked-cache.

When we know that mtime on directory as given by the environment
is usable for the purpose of untracked cache, we may want the
untracked cache to be always used without any mtime test or
kernel name check being performed.

Also when we know that mtime is not usable for the purpose of
untracked cache, for example because the repo is shared over a
network file system, we may want the untracked-cache to be
automatically removed from the index.

Allow the user to express such preference by setting the
'core.untrackedCache' configuration variable, which can take
'keep', 'false', or 'true' and default to 'keep'.

When read_index_from() is called, it now adds or removes the
untracked cache in the index to respect the value of this
variable. So it does nothing if the value is `keep` or if the
variable is unset; it adds the untracked cache if the value is
`true`; and it removes the cache if the value is `false`.

`git update-index --[no-|force-]untracked-cache` still adds the
untracked cache to, or removes it, from the index, but this
shows a warning if it goes against the value of
core.untrackedCache, because the next time the index is read
the untracked cache will be added or removed if the
configuration is set to do so.

Also `--untracked-cache` used to check that the underlying
operating system and file system change `st_mtime` field of a
directory if files are added or deleted in that directory. But
because those tests take a long time, `--untracked-cache` no
longer performs them. Instead, there is now
`--test-untracked-cache` to perform the tests. This change
makes `--untracked-cache` the same as `--force-untracked-cache`.

This last change is backward incompatible and should be
mentioned in the release notes.

The error message after a failing commit_lock_file() call sometimes
looks like this, causing confusion:

  $ git remote add remote git@server.com/repo.git
  error: could not commit config file .git/config
  # Huh?!
  # I didn't want to commit anything, especially not my config file!

While in the narrow context of the lockfile module using the verb
'commit' in the error message makes perfect sense, in the broader
context of git the word 'commit' already has a very specific meaning,
hence the confusion.

Reword these error messages to say "could not write" instead of "could
not commit".

While at it, include strerror in the error messages after writing the
config file or the credential store fails to provide some information
about the cause of the failure, and update the style of the error
message after writing the reflog fails to match surrounding error
messages (i.e. no '' around the pathname and no () around the error
description).

When we are running the git command "foo", we may have to
look up the config keys "pager.foo" and "alias.foo". These
config schemes are mis-designed, as the command names can be
anything, but the config syntax has some restrictions. For
example:

  $ git foo_bar
  error: invalid key: pager.foo_bar
  error: invalid key: alias.foo_bar
  git: 'foo_bar' is not a git command. See 'git --help'.

You cannot name an alias with an underscore. And if you have
an external command with one, you cannot configure its
pager.

In the long run, we may develop a different config scheme
for these features. But in the near term (and because we'll
need to support the existing scheme indefinitely), we should
at least squelch the error messages shown above.

These errors come from git_config_parse_key. Ideally we
would pass a "quiet" flag to the config machinery, but there
are many layers between the pager code and the key parsing.
Passing a flag through all of those would be an invasive
change.

Instead, let's provide a config function to report on
whether a key is syntactically valid, and have the pager and
alias code skip lookup for bogus keys. We can build this
easily around the existing git_config_parse_key, with two
minor modifications:

  1. We now handle a NULL store_key, to validate but not
     write out the normalized key.

  2. We accept a "quiet" flag to avoid writing to stderr.
     This doesn't need to be a full-blown public "flags"
     field, because we can make the existing implementation
     a static helper function, keeping the mess contained
     inside config.c.

The config-writing code uses xmmap to map the existing
config file, which will die if the map fails. This has two
downsides:

  1. The error message is not very helpful, as it lacks any
     context about the file we are mapping:

       $ mkdir foo
       $ git config --file=foo some.key value
       fatal: Out of memory? mmap failed: No such device

  2. We normally do not die in this code path; instead, we'd
     rather report the error and return an appropriate exit
     status (which is part of the public interface
     documented in git-config.1).

This patch introduces a "gentle" form of xmmap which lets us
produce our own error message. We do not want to use mmap
directly, because we would like to use the other
compatibility elements of xmmap (e.g., handling 0-length
maps portably).

The end result is:

    $ git.compile config --file=foo some.key value

We read config files character-by-character from a stdio
handle using fgetc(). This incurs significant locking
overhead, even though we know that only one thread can
possibly access the handle. We can speed this up by taking
the lock ourselves, and then using getc_unlocked to read
each character.

On a silly pathological case:

  perl -le '
    print "[core]";
    print "key$_ = value$_" for (1..1000000)
  ' >input
  git config -f input core.key1

this dropped the time to run git-config from:

  real    0m0.263s
  user    0m0.260s
  sys     0m0.000s

to:

  real    0m0.159s
  user    0m0.152s
  sys     0m0.004s

for a savings of 39%.  Most config files are not this big,
but the savings should be proportional to the size of the
file (i.e., we always save 39%, just of a much smaller
number).

Our config code simulates a stdio stream around a buffer,
but our fake ungetc() does not behave quite like the real
one. In particular, we only rewind the position by one
character, but do _not_ actually put the character from the
caller into position.

It turns out that this does not matter, because we only ever
push back the character we just read. In other words, such
an assignment would be a noop. But because the function is
called ungetc, and because it takes a character parameter,
it is a mistake waiting to happen.

Actually assigning the character into the buffer would be
ideal, but our pointer is actually a "const" copy of the
buffer. We do not know who the real owner of the buffer is
in this code, and would not want to munge their contents.

Instead, we can simply add an assertion that matches what
the current caller does, and will let us know if new callers
are added that violate the contract.

When we are parsing a config value, if we see a carriage
return, we fgetc the next character to see if it is a
line feed (in which case we silently drop the CR). If it
isn't, we then ungetc the character, and take the literal
CR.

But we never check whether we in fact got a character at
all. If the config file ends in CR, we will get EOF here,
and try to ungetc EOF. This works OK for a real stdio
stream. The ungetc returns an error, and the next fgetc will
then return EOF again.

However, our custom buffer-based stream is not so fortunate.
It happily rewinds the position of the stream by one
character, ignoring the fact that we fed it EOF. The next
fgetc call returns the final CR again, over and over, and we
end up in an infinite loop.

Currently `git_config()` returns an integer signifying an error code.
During rewrites of the function most of the code was shifted to
`git_config_with_options()`. `git_config_with_options()` normally
returns positive values if its `config_source` parameter is set as NULL,
as most errors are fatal, and non-fatal potential errors are guarded
by "if" statements that are entered only when no error is possible.

Still a negative value can be returned in case of race condition between
`access_or_die()` & `git_config_from_file()`. Also, all callers of
`git_config()` ignore the return value except for one case in branch.c.

Currently `git_config()` uses a callback mechanism and file rereads for
config values. Due to this approach, it is not uncommon for the config
files to be parsed several times during the run of a git program, with
different callbacks picking out different variables useful to themselves.

Add a `config_set`, that can be used to construct an in-memory cache for
config-like files that the caller specifies (i.e., files like `.gitmodules`,
`~/.gitconfig` etc.). Add two external functions `git_configset_get_value`
and `git_configset_get_value_multi` for querying from the config sets.
`git_configset_get_value` follows `last one wins` semantic (i.e. if there
are multiple matches for the queried key in the files of the configset the
value returned will be the last entry in `value_list`).
`git_configset_get_value_multi` returns a list of values sorted in order of
increasing priority (i.e. last match will be at the end of the list). Add
type specific query functions like `git_configset_get_bool` and similar.

Add a default `config_set`, `the_config_set` to cache all key-value pairs
read from usual config files (repo specific .git/config, user wide
~/.gitconfig, XDG config and the global /etc/gitconfig). `the_config_set`
is populated using `git_config()`.

Add two external functions `git_config_get_value` and
`git_config_get_value_multi` for querying in a non-callback manner from
`the_config_set`. Also, add type specific query functions that are
implemented as a thin wrapper around the `config_set` API.

The skip_prefix() function returns a pointer to the content
past the prefix, or NULL if the prefix was not found. While
this is nice and simple, in practice it makes it hard to use
for two reasons:

  1. When you want to conditionally skip or keep the string
     as-is, you have to introduce a temporary variable.
     For example:

       tmp = skip_prefix(buf, "foo");
       if (tmp)
	       buf = tmp;

  2. It is verbose to check the outcome in a conditional, as
     you need extra parentheses to silence compiler
     warnings. For example:

       if ((cp = skip_prefix(buf, "foo"))
	       /* do something with cp */

Both of these make it harder to use for long if-chains, and
we tend to use starts_with() instead. However, the first line
of "do something" is often to then skip forward in buf past
the prefix, either using a magic constant or with an extra
strlen(3) (which is generally computed at compile time, but
means we are repeating ourselves).

This patch refactors skip_prefix() to return a simple boolean,
and to provide the pointer value as an out-parameter. If the
prefix is not found, the out-parameter is untouched. This
lets you write:

  if (skip_prefix(arg, "foo ", &arg))
	  do_foo(arg);
  else if (skip_prefix(arg, "bar ", &arg))
	  do_bar(arg);
