'branch_track' feels more closely related to branching, and it is
needed later in branch.h; rather than #include'ing cache.h in branch.h
for this small enum, just move the enum and the external declaration
for git_branch_track to branch.h.

A user reported a submodule issue regarding a section mix-up,
but it could be boiled down to the following test case:
$ git init test && cd test
$ git config foo."Bar".key test
$ git config foo."bar".key test
$ tail -n 3 .git/config
[foo "Bar"]
key = test
key = test
Sub sections are case sensitive and we have a test for correctly reading
them. However we do not have a test for writing out config correctly with
case sensitive subsection names, which is why this went unnoticed in
6ae996f2acf (git_config_set: make use of the config parser's event
stream, 2018-04-09)
Unfortunately we have to make a distinction between old style configuration
that looks like
[foo.Bar]
key = test
and the new quoted style as seen above. The old style is documented as
case-agnostic, hence we need to keep 'strncasecmp'; although the
resulting setting for the old style config differs from the configuration.
That will be fixed in a follow up patch.

Many messages will be marked for translation in the following
commits. This commit updates some of them to be more consistent and
reduce diff noise in those commits. Changes are
- keep the first letter of die(), error() and warning() in lowercase
- no full stop in die(), error() or warning() if it's single sentence
messages
- indentation
- some messages are turned to BUG(), or prefixed with "BUG:" and will
not be marked for i18n
- some messages are improved to give more information
- some messages are broken down by sentence to be i18n friendly
(on the same token, combine multiple warning() into one big string)
- the trailing \n is converted to printf_ln if possible, or deleted
if not redundant
- errno_errno() is used instead of explicit strerror()

We can already disable replace refs using a command line
option or environment variable, but those are awkward to
apply universally. Let's add a config option to do the same
thing.
That raises the question of why one might want to do so
universally. The answer is that replace refs violate the
immutability of objects. For instance, if you wanted to
cache the diff between commit XYZ and its parent, then in
theory that never changes; the hash XYZ represents the total
state. But replace refs violate that; pushing up a new ref
may create a completely new diff.
The obvious "if it hurts, don't do it" answer is not to
create replace refs if you're doing this kind of caching.
But for a site hosting arbitrary repositories, they may want
to allow users to share replace refs with each other, but
not actually respect them on the site (because the caching
is more important than the replace feature).

Add a struct repository argument to the functions in commit-graph.h that
read the commit graph. (This commit does not affect functions that write
commit graphs.)
Because the commit graph functions can now read the commit graph of any
repository, the global variable core_commit_graph has been removed.
Instead, the config option core.commitGraph is now read on the first
time in a repository that a commit is attempted to be parsed using its
commit graph.
This commit includes a test that exercises the functionality on an
arbitrary repository that is not the_repository.

The config code has a die_on_error flag, which lets us emit
an error() instead of dying when we see a bogus config file.
But there's no way for a caller of the config code to set
this: it's auto-set based on whether we're reading a file or
a blob.
Instead, let's add it to the config_options struct. When
it's not set (or we have no options) we'll continue to fall
back to the existing file/blob behavior.

http-backend reads whole input until EOF. However, the RFC 3875 specifies
that a script must read only as many bytes as specified by CONTENT_LENGTH
environment variable. Web server may exercise the specification by not closing
the script's standard input after writing content. In that case http-backend
would hang waiting for the input. The issue is known to happen with
IIS/Windows, for example.
Make http-backend read only CONTENT_LENGTH bytes, if it's defined, rather than
the whole input until EOF. If the variable is not defined, keep older behavior
of reading until EOF because it is used to support chunked transfer-encoding.
This commit only fixes buffered input, whcih reads whole body before
processign it. Non-buffered input is going to be fixed in subsequent commit.

Instead of remembering to free `key` in each code path, let
`config_store_data_clear()` handle that.
We still need to free it before replacing it, though. Move that freeing
closer to the replacing to be safe. Note that in that same part of the
code, we can no longer set `key` to the original pointer, but need to
`xstrdup()` it.

Instead of duplicating the logic for clearing up `value_regex`, let
`config_store_data_clear()` handle that.
When `regcomp()` fails, the current code does not call `regfree()`. Make
sure we do the same by immediately invalidating `value_regex`. Some
implementations are able to handle such an extra `regfree()`-call [1],
but from the example in [2], we should not do so. (The language itself
in [2] is not super-clear on this.)

Commit fee8572c6d (config: avoid using the global variable `store`,
2018-04-09) dropped the staticness of a certain struct, instead letting
the users create an instance on the stack and pass around a pointer.
We do not free all the memory that the struct tracks. When the struct
was static, the memory would always be reachable. Now that we keep the
struct on the stack, though, as soon as we return, it goes out of scope
and we leak the memory it points to. In particular, we leak the memory
pointed to by the `parsed` and `seen` fields.
Introduce and use a helper function `config_store_data_clear()` to plug
these leaks. The memory tracked here is config parser events. Once the
users (`git_config_set_multivar_in_file_gently()` and
`git_config_copy_or_rename_section_in_file()` at the moment) are done,
no-one should be holding on to a pointer into this memory.
There are two more members of the struct that are candidates for freeing
in this new function (`key` and `value_regex`). Those are actually
already being taken care of. The next couple of patches will move their
freeing into the function we are adding here.

This should make these functions easier to find and cache.h less
overwhelming to read.
In particular, this moves:
- read_object_file
- oid_object_info
- write_object_file
As a result, most of the codebase needs to #include object-store.h.
In this patch the #include is only added to files that would fail to
compile otherwise. It would be better to #include wherever
identifiers from the header are used. That can happen later
when we have better tooling for it.

In d8193743e08 (usage.c: add BUG() function, 2017-05-12), a new macro

This is an attempt to resolve an issue I experience with people that are
new to Git -- especially colleagues in a team setting -- where they miss
that their push to a remote location failed because the failure and
success both return a block of white text.
An example is if I push something to a remote repository and then a
colleague attempts to push to the same remote repository and the push
fails because it requires them to pull first, but they don't notice
because a success and failure both return a block of white text. They
then continue about their business, thinking it has been successfully
pushed.
This patch colorizes the errors and hints (in red and yellow,
respectively) so whenever there is a failure when pushing to a remote
repository that fails, it is more noticeable.

UTF supports lossless conversion round tripping and conversions between
UTF and other encodings are mostly round trip safe as Unicode aims to be
a superset of all other character encodings. However, certain encodings
(e.g. SHIFT-JIS) are known to have round trip issues [1].
Add 'core.checkRoundtripEncoding', which contains a comma separated
list of encodings, to define for what encodings Git should check the
conversion round trip if they are used in the 'working-tree-encoding'
attribute.
Set SHIFT-JIS as default value for 'core.checkRoundtripEncoding'.

It can happen quite easily that the last setting in a config section is
removed, and to avoid confusion when there are comments in the config
about that section, we keep a lone section header, i.e. an empty
section.
Now that we use the `event_fn` callback, it is easy to add support for
re-using empty sections, so let's do that.
Note: t5512-ls-remote requires that this change is applied *after* the
patch "git config --unset: remove empty sections (in the common case)":
without that patch, there would be empty `transfer` and `uploadpack`
sections ready for reuse, but in the *wrong* order (and sconsequently,
t5512's "overrides work between mixed transfer/upload-pack hideRefs"
would fail).

The original reasoning for not removing section headers upon removal of
the last entry went like this: the user could have added comments about
the section, or about the entries therein, and if there were other
comments there, we would not know whether we should remove them.
In particular, a concocted example was presented that looked like this
(and was added to t1300):
# some generic comment on the configuration file itself
# a comment specific to this "section" section.
[section]
# some intervening lines
# that should also be dropped
key = value
# please be careful when you update the above variable
The ideal thing for `git config --unset section.key` in this case would
be to leave only the first line behind, because all the other comments
are now obsolete.
However, this is unfeasible, short of adding a complete Natural Language
Processing module to Git, which seems not only a lot of work, but a
totally unreasonable feature (for little benefit to most users).
Now, the real kicker about this problem is: most users do not edit their
config files at all! In their use case, the config looks like this
instead:
[section]
key = value
... and it is totally obvious what should happen if the entry is
removed: the entire section should vanish.
Let's generalize this observation to this conservative strategy: if we
are removing the last entry from a section, and there are no comments
inside that section nor surrounding it, then remove the entire section.
Otherwise behave as before: leave the now-empty section (including those
comments, even ones about the now-deleted entry).
We have to be extra careful to handle the case where more than one entry
is removed: any subset of them might be the last entries of their
respective sections (and if there are no comments in or around that
section, the section should be removed, too).

In the recent commit with the title "config: introduce an optional event
stream while parsing", we introduced an optional callback to keep track
of the config parser's events "comment", "white-space", "section header"
and "entry".
One motivation for this feature was to make use of it in the code that
edits the config. And this commit makes it so.
Note: this patch changes the meaning of the `seen` array that records
whether we saw the config entry that is to be edited: previously, it
contained the end offset of the found entry. Now, we introduce a new
array `parsed` that keeps a record of *all* config parser events (with
begin/end offsets), and the items in the `seen` array now point into the
`parsed` array.
There are two reasons why we do it this way:
1. To keep the implementation simple, the config parser's event stream
reports the event only after the config callback was called, so we
would not receive the begin offset otherwise.
2. In the following patches, we will re-use the `parsed` array to fix two
long-standing bugs related to empty sections.
Note that this also makes the code more robust with respect to finding the
begin offset of the part(s) of the config file to be edited, as we no
longer back-track to find the beginning of the line.
