This cleans up the use of safe_strncpy() even more. Since it has the
same semantics as strlcpy() use this name instead. Also move the
definition from inside path.c to its own file compat/strlcpy.c, and use
it conditionally at compile time, since some platforms already has
strlcpy(). It's included in the same way as compat/setenv.c.

Previous one warned people upfront to encourage fixing their
environment early, but some people just use repositories and git
tools read-only without making any changes, and in such a case
there is not much point insisting on them having a usable ident.
This round attempts to move the error until either "git-var"
asks for the ident explicitly or "commit-tree" wants to use it.

It appears that some people who did not care about having bogus
names in their own commit messages are bitten by the recent
change to require a sane environment [*1*].
While it was a good idea to prevent people from using bogus
names to create commits and doing sign-offs, the error message
is not very informative. This patch attempts to warn things
upfront and hint people how to fix their environments.

var.c::git_var read function did not have to return writable
strings; make it and the functions it points at return const char *
instead.
ident.c::get_ident() did not need to be global, so make it
static.

Currently, the code would use getdomainname() call, which however returns
something usually unset and not necessarily related at all to the DNS
domain name (it seems to be mostly some scary NIS/YP thing).
This patch changes the code to actually use the DNS domain name, which is
also what tends to be used in emails, and we aim at emails with our ident
code.

Do our own ctype.h, just to get the sane semantics: we want
locale-independence, _and_ we want the right signed behaviour. Plus we
only use a very small subset of ctype.h anyway (isspace, isalpha,
isdigit and isalnum).

This starts using the "user.name" and "user.email" config variables if
they exist as the default name and email when committing. This means
that you don't have to use the GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL environment variable
to override your email - you can just edit the config file instead.
The patch looks bigger than it is because it makes the default name and
email information non-static and renames it appropriately. And it moves
the common git environment variables into a new library file, so that
you can link against libgit.a and get the git environment without having
to link in zlib and libcrypt.
In short, most of it is renaming and moving, the real change core is
just a few new lines in "git_default_config()" that copies the user
config values to the new base.
It also changes "git-var -l" to list the config variables.

We have deprecated the old environment variable names for quite a
while and now it's time to remove them. Gone are:
SHA1_FILE_DIRECTORIES AUTHOR_DATE AUTHOR_EMAIL AUTHOR_NAME

sent to the list and dropped the bit that deals with installations
that has curl header and library at non-default location. I am
