upload-pack: provide a hook for running pack-objects
When upload-pack serves a client request, it turns to
pack-objects to do the heavy lifting of creating a
packfile. There's no easy way to intercept the call to
pack-objects, but there are a few good reasons to want to do
so:
1. If you're debugging a client or server issue with
fetching, you may want to store a copy of the generated
packfile.
2. If you're gathering data from real-world fetches for
performance analysis or debugging, storing a copy of
the arguments and stdin lets you replay the pack
generation at your leisure.
3. You may want to insert a caching layer around
pack-objects; it is the most CPU- and memory-intensive
part of serving a fetch, and its output is a pure
function[1] of its input, making it an ideal place to
consolidate identical requests.
This patch adds a simple "hook" interface to intercept calls
to pack-objects. The new test demonstrates how it can be
used for debugging (using it for caching is a
straightforward extension; the tricky part is writing the
actual caching layer).
This hook is unlike the normal hook scripts found in the
"hooks/" directory of a repository. Because we promise that
upload-pack is safe to run in an untrusted repository, we
cannot execute arbitrary code or commands found in the
repository (neither in hooks/, nor in the config). So
instead, this hook is triggered from a config variable that
is explicitly ignored in the per-repo config.
The config variable holds the actual shell command to run as
the hook. Another approach would be to simply treat it as a
boolean: "should I respect the upload-pack hooks in this
repo?", and then run the script from "hooks/" as we usually
do. However, that isn't as flexible; there's no way to run a
hook approved by the site administrator (e.g., in
"/etc/gitconfig") on a repository whose contents are not
trusted. The approach taken by this patch is more
fine-grained, if a little less conventional for git hooks
(it does behave similar to other configured commands like
diff.external, etc).
[1] Pack-objects isn't _actually_ a pure function. Its
output depends on the exact packing of the object
database, and if multi-threading is used for delta
compression, can even differ racily. But for the
purposes of caching, that's OK; of the many possible
outputs for a given input, it is sufficient only that we
output one of them.

config: learn `git_protected_config()`
`uploadpack.packObjectsHook` is the only 'protected configuration only'
variable today, but we've noted that `safe.directory` and the upcoming
`safe.bareRepository` should also be 'protected configuration only'. So,
for consistency, we'd like to have a single implementation for protected
configuration.
The primary constraints are:
1. Reading from protected configuration should be fast. Nearly all "git"
commands inside a bare repository will read both `safe.directory` and
`safe.bareRepository`, so we cannot afford to be slow.
2. Protected configuration must be readable when the gitdir is not
known. `safe.directory` and `safe.bareRepository` both affect
repository discovery and the gitdir is not known at that point [1].
The chosen implementation in this commit is to read protected
configuration and cache the values in a global configset. This is
similar to the caching behavior we get with the_repository->config.
Introduce git_protected_config(), which reads protected configuration
and caches them in the global configset protected_config. Then, refactor
`uploadpack.packObjectsHook` to use git_protected_config().
The protected configuration functions are named similarly to their
non-protected counterparts, e.g. git_protected_config_check_init() vs
git_config_check_init().
In light of constraint 1, this implementation can still be improved.
git_protected_config() iterates through every variable in
protected_config, which is wasteful, but it makes the conversion simple
because it matches existing patterns. We will likely implement constant
time lookup functions for protected configuration in a future series
(such functions already exist for non-protected configuration, i.e.
repo_config_get_*()).
An alternative that avoids introducing another configset is to continue
to read all config using git_config(), but only accept values that have
the correct config scope [2]. This technically fulfills constraint 2,
because git_config() simply ignores the local and worktree config when
the gitdir is not known. However, this would read incomplete config into
the_repository->config, which would need to be reset when the gitdir is
known and git_config() needs to read the local and worktree config.
Resetting the_repository->config might be reasonable while we only have
these 'protected configuration only' variables, but it's not clear
whether this extends well to future variables.
[1] In this case, we do have a candidate gitdir though, so with a little
refactoring, it might be possible to provide a gitdir.
[2] This is how `uploadpack.packObjectsHook` was implemented prior to
this commit.
