Ensure that we pass the object-format capability in the synthesized test
data so that this test works with algorithms other than SHA-1.
In addition, add an additional test using the old data for when we're
using SHA-1 so that we can be sure that we preserve backwards
compatibility with servers not offering the object-format capability.

When performing a clone, we don't know what hash algorithm the other end
will support. Currently, we don't support fetching data belonging to a
different algorithm, so we must know what algorithm the remote side is
using in order to properly initialize the repository. We can know that
only after fetching the refs, so if the remote side has any references,
use that information to reinitialize the repository with the correct
hash algorithm information.

When parsing capabilities for the pack protocol, there are times we'll
want to compare the value of a capability to a NUL-terminated string.
Since the data we're reading will be space-terminated, not
NUL-terminated, we need a function that compares the two strings, but
also checks that they're the same length. Otherwise, if we used strncmp
to compare these strings, we might accidentally accept a parameter that
was a prefix of the expected value.
Add a function, xstrncmpz, that takes a NUL-terminated string and a
non-NUL-terminated string, plus a length, and compares them, ensuring
that they are the same length.

The explanation of the `--show-pulls` option added in commit 8d049e182e
("revision: --show-pulls adds helpful merges", 2020-04-10) consists of
several paragraphs and we use "+" throughout to tie them together in one
long chain of list continuations. Only thing is, we're not in any kind
of list, so these pluses end up being rendered literally.
The preceding few paragraphs describe `--ancestry-path` and there we
*do* have a list, since we've started one with `--ancestry-path::`. In
fact, we have several such lists for all the various history-simplifying
options we're discussing earlier in this file.
Thus, we're missing a list both from a consistency point of view and
from a practical rendering standpoint.
Let's start a list for `--show-pulls` where we start actually discussing
the option, and keep the paragraphs preceding it out of that list. That
is, drop all those pluses before the new list we're adding here.

Various doc fixes.

git-commit-graph.txt: fix list rendering
git-commit-graph.txt: fix grammo
date-formats.txt: fix list continuation
In standard C, '{ 0 }' can be used as an universal zero-initializer.
However, Sparse complains if this is used on a type where the first
member (possibly nested) is a pointer since Sparse purposely wants
to warn when '0' is used to initialize a pointer type.
Legitimaly, it's desirable to be able to use '{ 0 }' as an idiom
without these warnings [1,2]. To allow this, an option have now
been added to Sparse:
537e3e2dae univ-init: conditionally accept { 0 } without warnings
So, add this option to the SPARSE_FLAGS variable.
Note: The option have just been added to Sparse. So, to benefit
now from this patch it's needed to use the latest Sparse
source from kernel.org. The option will simply be ignored
by older versions of Sparse.

Currently, remote-curl acts as a proxy and blindly forwards packets
between an HTTP server and fetch-pack. In the case of a stateless RPC
connection where the connection is terminated before the transaction is
complete, remote-curl will blindly forward the packets before waiting on
more input from fetch-pack. Meanwhile, fetch-pack will read the
transaction and continue reading, expecting more input to continue the
transaction. This results in a deadlock between the two processes.
This can be seen in the following command which does not terminate:
$ git -c protocol.version=2 clone https://github.com/git/git.git --shallow-since=20151012
Cloning into 'git'...
whereas the v1 version does terminate as expected:
$ git -c protocol.version=1 clone https://github.com/git/git.git --shallow-since=20151012
Cloning into 'git'...
fatal: the remote end hung up unexpectedly
Instead of blindly forwarding packets, make remote-curl insert a
response end packet after proxying the responses from the remote server
when using stateless_connect(). On the RPC client side, ensure that each
response ends as described.
A separate control packet is chosen because we need to be able to
differentiate between what the remote server sends and remote-curl's
control packets. By ensuring in the remote-curl code that a server
cannot send response end packets, we prevent a malicious server from
being able to perform a denial of service attack in which they spoof a
response end packet and cause the described deadlock to happen.

While at it; update the message to better reflect that since

When we try to create a branch "foo" based on "origin/master" and give
git commit -b an extra unsupported argument "bar", it confusingly
reports:
$ git checkout -b foo origin/master bar
fatal: 'bar' is not a commit and a branch 'foo' cannot be created from it
$ git checkout --track -b foo origin/master bar
fatal: 'bar' is not a commit and a branch 'foo' cannot be created from it
That's wrong, because it very well understands that "origin/master" is
supposed to be the start point for the new branch and not "bar". Check
if we got a commit and show more fitting messages in that case instead:
$ git checkout -b foo origin/master bar
fatal: Cannot update paths and switch to branch 'foo' at the same time.
$ git checkout --track -b foo origin/master bar
fatal: '--track' cannot be used with updating paths

Test git checkout -b with and without --track and demonstrate unexpected
error messages when it's given an extra (i.e. unsupported) path
argument. In both cases it reports:
$ git checkout -b foo origin/master bar
fatal: 'bar' is not a commit and a branch 'foo' cannot be created from it
The problem is that the start point we gave for the new branch is
"origin/master" and "bar" is just some extra argument -- it could even
be a valid commit, which would make the message even more confusing. We
have more fitting error messages in git commit, but get confused; use
the text of the rights ones in the tests.
