It is clearer to use a 'clear_' prefix for functions which empty
and deallocate the contents of a data structure without freeing
the structure itself, and a 'free_' prefix for functions which
also free the structure itself.

In a similar way to the previous commit, this extracts a new helper
function last_exclude_matching_path() which return the last
exclude_list element which matched, or NULL if no match was found.
is_path_excluded() becomes a wrapper around this, and just returns 0
or 1 depending on whether any matching exclude_list element was found.
This allows callers to find out _why_ a given path was excluded,
rather than just whether it was or not, paving the way for a new git
sub-command which allows users to test their exclude lists from the
command line.

The excluded function uses a new helper function called
last_exclude_matching_from_list() to perform the inner loop over all of
the exclude patterns. The helper just tells us whether the path is
included, excluded, or undecided.
However, it may be useful to know _which_ pattern was triggered. So
let's pass out the entire exclude match, which contains the status
information we were already passing out.
Further patches can make use of this.
This is a modified forward port of a patch from 2009 by Jeff King:

'el' is only *slightly* less cryptic, but is already used as the

In the distant past, the order things were documented was
'Invocation', 'Commands', 'Capabilities', ...
Then it was decided that before giving a list of Commands, there
should be an overall description of the 'Input format', which was
a wise decision. However, this description was put as the very
first thing, with the rationale that any implementor would want
to know that first.
However, it seems an implementor would actually first need to
know how the remote helper will be invoked, so moving
'Invocation' to the front again seems logical. Moreover, we now
don't switch from discussing the input format to the invocation
style and then back to input related stuff.

Use $TMPDIR when creating the /dev/null placeholder for p4merge.
This prevents users from finding a seemingly random untracked file
in their worktree.
This is different than what mergetool does with $LOCAL and
$REMOTE because those files exist to aid users when resolving
merges. p4merge's /dev/null placeholder is not helpful in that
situation so it is sensible to keep it out of the worktree.

The previous commit documented two known breakages revolving around
a case where one side flips a tree into a blob (or vice versa),
where the original code simply gets confused and feeds a mixture of
trees and blobs into either the recursive merge-tree (and recursing
into the blob will fail) or three-way merge (and merging tree contents
together with blobs will fail).
Fix it by feeding trees (and only trees) into the recursive
merge-tree machinery and blobs (and only blobs) into the three-way
content level merge machinery separately; when this happens, the
entire merge has to be marked as conflicting at the structure level.

naturally result in conflicts. Similarly, revert also works, but will
