Fix configuration codepath to pay proper attention to commondir
that is used in multi-worktree situation, and isolate config API
into its own header file.
* bw/config-h:
config: don't implicitly use gitdir or commondir
config: respect commondir
setup: teach discover_git_directory to respect the commondir
config: don't include config.h by default
config: remove git_config_iter
config: create config.h
Stop including config.h by default in cache.h. Instead only include
config.h in those files which require use of the config system.

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.

There are certain startup tasks that we expect every git
process to do. In some cases this is just to improve the
quality of the program (e.g., setting up gettext()). In
others it is a requirement for using certain functions in
libgit.a (e.g., system_path() expects that you have called
git_extract_argv0_path()).
Most commands are builtins and are covered by the git.c
version of main(). However, there are still a few external
commands that use their own main(). Each of these has to
remember to include the correct startup sequence, and we are
not always consistent.
Rather than just fix the inconsistencies, let's make this
harder to get wrong by providing a common main() that can
run this standard startup.
We basically have two options to do this:
- the compat/mingw.h file already does something like this by
adding a #define that replaces the definition of main with a
wrapper that calls mingw_startup().
The upside is that the code in each program doesn't need
to be changed at all; it's rewritten on the fly by the
preprocessor.
The downside is that it may make debugging of the startup
sequence a bit more confusing, as the preprocessor is
quietly inserting new code.
- the builtin functions are all of the form cmd_foo(),
and git.c's main() calls them.
This is much more explicit, which may make things more
obvious to somebody reading the code. It's also more
flexible (because of course we have to figure out _which_
cmd_foo() to call).
The downside is that each of the builtins must define
cmd_foo(), instead of just main().
This patch chooses the latter option, preferring the more
explicit approach, even though it is more invasive. We
introduce a new file common-main.c, with the "real" main. It
expects to call cmd_main() from whatever other objects it is
linked against.
We link common-main.o against anything that links against
libgit.a, since we know that such programs will need to do
this setup. Note that common-main.o can't actually go inside
libgit.a, as the linker would not pick up its main()
function automatically (it has no callers).
The rest of the patch is just adjusting all of the various
external programs (mostly in t/helper) to use cmd_main().
I've provided a global declaration for cmd_main(), which
means that all of the programs also need to match its
signature. In particular, many functions need to switch to
"const char **" instead of "char **" for argv. This effect
ripples out to a few other variables and functions, as well.
This makes the patch even more invasive, but the end result
is much better. We should be treating argv strings as const
anyway, and now all programs conform to the same signature
(which also matches the way builtins are defined).

When this code was originally written, there wasn't much
thought given to the timing between a client asking for
"exit", the daemon signaling that the action is done (with
EOF), and the actual cleanup of the socket.
However, we need to care about this so that our test scripts
do not end up racy (e.g., by asking for an exit and checking
that the socket was cleaned up). The code that is already
there happens to behave very reasonably; let's add a comment
to make it clear that any changes should retain the same
behavior.

The "credential-cache" daemon process used to run in whatever
directory it happened to start in, but this made umount(2)ing the
filesystem that houses the repository harder; now the process
chdir()s to the directory that house its own socket on startup.
* jg/credential-cache-chdir-to-sockdir:
credential-cache--daemon: change to the socket dir on startup
credential-cache--daemon: disallow relative socket path
credential-cache--daemon: refactor check_socket_directory
Changing to the socket path stops the daemon holding open
the directory the user was in when it was started,
preventing umount from working. We're already holding open a
socket in that directory, so there's no downside.

Relative socket paths are dangerous since the user cannot generally
control when the daemon starts (initially, after a timeout, kill or
crash). Since the daemon creates but does not delete the socket
directory, this could lead to spurious directory creation relative
to the users cwd.

This function does an early return, and therefore has to
repeat its cleanup. We can stick the later bit of the
function into an "else" and avoid duplicating the shared
part (which will get bigger in a future patch).
Let's also rename the function to init_socket_directory. It
not only checks the directory but also creates it. Saying
"init" is more accurate.

The strbuf_getline() interface allows a byte other than LF or NUL as
the line terminator, but this is only because I wrote these
codepaths anticipating that there might be a value other than NUL
and LF that could be useful when I introduced line_termination long
time ago. No useful caller that uses other value has emerged.
By now, it is clear that the interface is overly broad without a
good reason. Many codepaths have hardcoded preference to read
either LF terminated or NUL terminated records from their input, and
then call strbuf_getline() with LF or NUL as the third parameter.
This step introduces two thin wrappers around strbuf_getline(),
namely, strbuf_getline_lf() and strbuf_getline_nul(), and
mechanically rewrites these call sites to call either one of
them. The changes contained in this patch are:
* introduction of these two functions in strbuf.[ch]
* mechanical conversion of all callers to strbuf_getline() with
either '\n' or '\0' as the third parameter to instead call the
respective thin wrapper.
After this step, output from "git grep 'strbuf_getline('" would
become a lot smaller. An interim goal of this series is to make
this an empty set, so that we can have strbuf_getline_crlf() take
over the shorter name strbuf_getline().

If the stderr of "git credential-cache" is redirected to a
pipe, the reader on the other end of a pipe may be surprised
that the pipe remains open long after the process exits.
This happens because we may auto-spawn a daemon which is
long-lived, and which keeps stderr open.
We can solve this by redirecting the daemon's stderr to
/dev/null once we are ready to go into our event loop. We
would not want to do so before then, because we may want to
report errors about the setup (e.g., failure to establish
the listening socket).
This does mean that we will not report errors we encounter
for specific clients. That's acceptable, as such errors
should be rare (e.g., clients sending buggy requests).
However, we also provide an escape hatch: if you want to see
these later messages, you can provide the "--debug" option
to keep stderr open.

The skip_prefix() function returns a pointer to the content
past the prefix, or NULL if the prefix was not found. While
this is nice and simple, in practice it makes it hard to use
for two reasons:
1. When you want to conditionally skip or keep the string
as-is, you have to introduce a temporary variable.
For example:
tmp = skip_prefix(buf, "foo");
if (tmp)
buf = tmp;
2. It is verbose to check the outcome in a conditional, as
you need extra parentheses to silence compiler
warnings. For example:
if ((cp = skip_prefix(buf, "foo"))
/* do something with cp */
Both of these make it harder to use for long if-chains, and
we tend to use starts_with() instead. However, the first line
of "do something" is often to then skip forward in buf past
the prefix, either using a magic constant or with an extra
strlen(3) (which is generally computed at compile time, but
means we are repeating ourselves).
This patch refactors skip_prefix() to return a simple boolean,
and to provide the pointer value as an out-parameter. If the
prefix is not found, the out-parameter is untouched. This
lets you write:
if (skip_prefix(arg, "foo ", &arg))
do_foo(arg);
else if (skip_prefix(arg, "bar ", &arg))
do_bar(arg);

authentication, then it can be annoying to have git ask you
for your password repeatedly. We cache credentials in
