Peff points out that different atom parsers handle the empty
"sub-argument" list differently. An example of this is the format
"%(refname:)".
Since callers often use `string_list_split` (which splits the empty
string with any delimiter as a 1-ary string_list containing the empty
string), this makes handling empty sub-argument strings non-ergonomic.
Let's fix this by declaring that atom parser implementations must
not care about distinguishing between the empty string "%(refname:)"
and no sub-arguments "%(refname)". Current code aborts, either with
"unrecognised arg" (e.g. "refname:") or "does not take args"
(e.g. "body:") as an error message.

Currently the argv is only allocated on the stack, and then assigned to
process->argv. When the start_subprocess function goes out of scope,
the local argv variable is eliminated from the stack, but the pointer is
still kept around in process->argv.
Much later when we try to access the same process->argv in
finish_command, this leads us to access a memory location that no longer
contains what we want. As argv0 is only used for printing errors, this
is not easily noticed in normal git operations. However when running
t0021-conversion.sh through valgrind, valgrind rightfully complains:

These days, the child_process structure has its own args array, and

assigning to process->argv to point at an array that is outside.

The get_oid_hex_from_objpath takes care of creating a oid from a
pathname. It does this by memcpy'ing the first two bytes of the path to
the "hex" string, then skipping the '/', and then copying the rest of the
path to the "hex" string. Currently it fails to increase the pointer to
the hex string, so the second memcpy invocation just mashes over what
was copied in the first one, and leaves the last two bytes in the string
uninitialized.
This breaks valgrind in t5540, although the test passes without

If a candidate HEAD isn't a symref, we check that it
contains a viable sha1. But in a post-sha1 world, we should
be checking whether it has any plausible object-id.
We can do that by switching to get_oid_hex().
Note that both before and after this patch, we only check
for a plausible object id at the start of the file, and then
call that good enough. We ignore any content _after_ the
hex, so a string like:
0123456789012345678901234567890123456789 foo
is accepted. Though we do put extra bytes like this into
some pseudorefs (e.g., FETCH_HEAD), we don't typically do so
with HEAD. We could tighten this up by using parse_oid_hex(),
like:
if (!parse_oid_hex(buffer, &oid, &end) &&
*end++ == '\n' && *end == '\0')
return 0;
But we're probably better to remain on the loose side. We're
just checking here for a plausible-looking repository
directory, so heuristics are acceptable (if we really want
to be meticulous, we should use the actual ref code to parse
HEAD).

Since the previous commit guarantees that our symref buffer
is NUL-terminated, we can just use skip_prefix() and friends
to parse it. This is shorter and saves us having to deal
with magic numbers and keeping the "len" counter up to date.
While we're at it, let's name the rather obscure "buf" to
"refname", since that is the thing we are parsing with it.

When we are checking to see if we have a git repo, we peek
into the HEAD file and see if it's a plausible symlink,
symref, or detached HEAD.
For the latter two, we read the contents with read_in_full(),
which means they aren't NUL-terminated. The symref check is
careful to respect the length we got, but the sha1 check
will happily parse up to 40 bytes, even if we read fewer.
E.g.,:
echo 1234 >.git/HEAD
git rev-parse
will parse 36 uninitialized bytes from our stack buffer.
This isn't a big deal in practice. Our buffer is 256 bytes,
so we know we'll never read outside of it. The worst case is
that the uninitialized bytes look like valid hex, and we
claim a bogus HEAD file is valid. The chances of this
happening randomly are quite slim, but let's be careful.
One option would be to check that "len == 41" before feeding
the buffer to get_sha1_hex(). But we'd like to eventually
prepare for a world with variable-length hashes. Let's
NUL-terminate as soon as we've read the buffer (we already
even leave a spare byte to do so!). That fixes this problem
without depending on the size of an object id.
