Git's source code assumes that unsigned long is at least as precise as
time_t. Which is incorrect, and causes a lot of problems, in particular
where unsigned long is only 32-bit (notably on Windows, even in 64-bit
versions).
So let's just use a more appropriate data type instead. In preparation
for this, we introduce the new `timestamp_t` data type.
By necessity, this is a very, very large patch, as it has to replace all
timestamps' data type in one go.
As we will use a data type that is not necessarily identical to `time_t`,
we need to be very careful to use `time_t` whenever we interact with the
system functions, and `timestamp_t` everywhere else.

Currently, Git's source code treats all timestamps as if they were
unsigned longs. Therefore, it is okay to write "%lu" when printing them.
There is a substantial problem with that, though: at least on Windows,
time_t is *larger* than unsigned long, and hence we will want to switch
away from the ill-specified `unsigned long` data type.
So let's introduce the pseudo format "PRItime" (currently simply being
defined to "lu") to make it easier to change the data type used for
timestamps.

There are certain house-keeping tasks that need to be performed at
the very beginning of any Git program, and programs that are not
built-in commands had to do them exactly the same way as "git"
potty does. It was easy to make mistakes in one-off standalone
programs (like test helpers). A common "main()" function that
calls cmd_main() of individual program has been introduced to
make it harder to make mistakes.
* jk/common-main:
mingw: declare main()'s argv as const
common-main: call git_setup_gettext()
common-main: call restore_sigpipe_to_default()
common-main: call sanitize_stdfds()
common-main: call git_extract_argv0_path()
add an extra level of indirection to main()
Instead of taking advantage of a struct string_list that is
allocated with all NULs happens to be STRING_LIST_INIT_NODUP kind,
initialize them explicitly as such, to document their behaviour
better.
* jk/string-list-static-init:
use string_list initializer consistently
blame,shortlog: don't make local option variables static
interpret-trailers: don't duplicate option strings
parse_opt_string_list: stop allocating new strings
There are two types of string_lists: those that own the
string memory, and those that don't. You can tell the
difference by the strdup_strings flag, and one should use
either STRING_LIST_INIT_DUP, or STRING_LIST_INIT_NODUP as an
initializer.
Historically, the normal all-zeros initialization has
corresponded to the NODUP case. Many sites use no
initializer at all, and that works as a shorthand for that
case. But for a reader of the code, it can be hard to
remember which is which. Let's be more explicit and actually
have each site declare which type it means to use.
This is a fairly mechanical conversion; I assumed each site
was correct as-is, and just switched them all to NODUP.

t0040 had too many unnecessary repetitions in its test data. Teach
test-parse-options program so that a caller can tell what it
expects in its output, so that these repetitions can be cleaned up.

t0040: convert a few tests to use test-parse-options --expect
t0040: remove unused test helpers
test-parse-options: --expect=<string> option to simplify tests

"git commit" learned to pay attention to "commit.verbose"
configuration variable and act as if "--verbose" option was
given from the command line.

This keeps top dir a bit less crowded. And because these programs are
