The previous patch introduced a way for builtins to declare that they
will take responsibility for handling the `pager.foo`-config item. (See
the commit message of that patch for why that could be useful.)
Provide setup_auto_pager(), which builtins can call in order to handle
`pager.<cmd>`, including possibly starting the pager. Make this function
don't do anything if a pager has already been started, as indicated by
use_pager or pager_in_use().
Whenever this function is called from a builtin, git.c will already have
called commit_pager_choice(). Since commit_pager_choice() treats the
special value -1 as "punt" or "not yet decided", it is not a problem
that we might end up calling commit_pager_choice() once in git.c and
once (or more) in the builtin. Make the new function use -1 in the same
way and document it as "punt".
Don't add any users of setup_auto_pager just yet, one will follow in
a later patch.

Before launching a builtin git foo and unless mechanisms with precedence
are in use, we check for and handle the `pager.foo` config. This is done
without considering exactly how git foo is being used, and indeed, git.c
cannot (and should not) know what the arguments to git foo are supposed
to achieve.
In practice this means that, e.g., `git -c pager.tag tag -a new-tag`
results in errors such as "Vim: Warning: Output is not to a terminal"
and a garbled terminal. Someone who makes use of both `git tag -a` and
`git tag -l` will probably not set `pager.tag`, so that `git tag -a`
will actually work, at the cost of not paging output of `git tag -l`.
To allow individual builtins to make more informed decisions about when
to respect `pager.foo`, introduce a flag DELAY_PAGER_CONFIG. If the flag
is set, do not check `pager.foo`.
Do not check for DELAY_PAGER_CONFIG in `execv_dashed_external()`. That
call site is arguably wrong, although in a way that is not yet visible,
and will be changed in a slightly different direction in a later patch.
Don't add any users of DELAY_PAGER_CONFIG just yet, one will follow in a
later patch.

Delete Documentation/technical/api-builtin.txt and move its content
into builtin.h. Format it as a comment. Remove a '+' which was needed
when the information was formatted for AsciiDoc. Similarly, change
"::" to ":".
Document SUPPORT_SUPER_PREFIX, thereby bringing the documentation up to
date with the available flags.
While at it, correct '3 more things to do' to '4 more things to do'.

We run an early part of "git gc" that deals with refs before
daemonising (and not under lock) even when running a background
auto-gc, which caused multiple gc processes attempting to run the
early part at the same time. This is now prevented by running the
early part also under the GC lock.

On Cygwin, similar to Windows, "git push //server/share/repository"
ought to mean a repository on a network share that can be accessed
locally, but this did not work correctly due to stripping the double
slashes at the beginning.
This may need to be heavily tested before it gets unleashed to the
wild, as the change is at a fairly low-level code and would affect
not just the code to decide if the push destination is local. There
may be unexpected fallouts in the path normalization.

Since the recent commit 835c49f7d (blame: rework methods that
determine 'final' commit, 2017-05-24) the revision name is either
missing or some scrambled characters are shown instead. The reason is
that the revision name must be duplicated, because it is invalidated
when the pending objects array is cleared in the meantime, but this
commit dropped the duplication.
Restore the duplication of the revision name in the affected functions
(find_single_final() and find_single_initial()).
