We had several C files ignoring the rule to include one of the
appropriate headers first; fix that.
While at it, the rule in Documentation/CodingGuidelines about which
header to include has also fallen out of sync, so update the wording to
mention other allowed headers.
Unfortunately, C files in reftable/ don't actually follow the previous
or updated rule. If you follow the #include chain in its C files,
reftable/system.h _tends_ to be first (i.e. record.c first includes
record.h, which first includes basics.h, which first includees
system.h), but not always (e.g. publicbasics.c includes another header
first that does not include system.h). However, I'm going to punt on
making actual changes to the C files in reftable/ since I do not want to
risk bringing it out-of-sync with any version being used externally.

refs: fix corruption by not correctly syncing packed-refs to disk
At GitLab we have recently received a report where a repository was left
with a corrupted `packed-refs` file after the node hard-crashed even
though `core.fsync=reference` was set. This is something that in theory
should not happen if we correctly did the atomic-rename dance to:
1. Write the data into a temporary file.
2. Synchronize the temporary file to disk.
3. Rename the temporary file into place.
So if we crash in the middle of writing the `packed-refs` file we should
only ever see either the old or the new state of the file.
And while we do the dance when writing the `packed-refs` file, there is
indeed one gotcha: we use a `FILE *` stream to write the temporary file,
but don't flush it before synchronizing it to disk. As a consequence any
data that is still buffered will not get synchronized and a crash of the
machine may cause corruption.
Fix this bug by flushing the file stream before we fsync.

The logic to handle worktree refs (worktrees/NAME/REF and
main-worktree/REF) existed in two places:
* ref_type() in refs.c
* parse_worktree_ref() in worktree.c
Collapse this logic together in one function parse_worktree_ref():
this avoids having to cross-check the result of parse_worktree_ref()
and ref_type().
Introduce enum ref_worktree_type, which is slightly different from
enum ref_type. The latter is a misleading name (one would think that
'ref_type' would have the symref option).
Instead, enum ref_worktree_type only makes explicit how a refname
relates to a worktree. From this point of view, HEAD and
refs/bisect/abc are the same: they specify the current worktree
implicitly.
The files-backend must avoid packing refs/bisect/* and friends into
packed-refs, so expose is_per_worktree_ref() separately.

core.fsync: new option to harden references
In cd475b3b03 (refs: add ability for backends to special-case reading
of symbolic refs, 2022-03-01) when the "read_symbolic_ref" callback
was added we'd fall back on "refs_read_raw_ref" if there wasn't any
backend implementation of "read_symbolic_ref".
As discussed in the preceding commit this would only happen if we were
running the "debug" backend, e.g. in the "setup for ref completion"
test in t9902-completion.sh with:
GIT_TRACE_REFS=1 git fetch --no-tags other
Let's improve the trace output, but and also eliminate the
now-redundant refs_read_raw_ref() fallback case. As noted in the
preceding commit the "packed" backend will never call
refs_read_symbolic_ref() (nor is it ever going to). For any future
backend such as reftable it's OK to ask that they either implement
this (or a wrapper) themselves.

Remove the stub BUG(...) functions previously used by the "struct
ref_storage_be refs_be_packed" backend.
We never call any functions in the packed backend by using it as a
"normal" primary ref store, instead we'll always initialize a "files"
backend ref-store.
It will then via the "packed_ref_store" member of "struct
files_ref_store" call selected functions in the "packed" backend, and
we'll in addition call others via wrappers in refs.c.
So while these would arguably give us *slightly* more meaningful error
messages we'll NULL the missing members in the initializer anyway, so
we'll reliably get a segfault if we're ever changing the backend and
having it call something it doesn't have.
So there's no need for this verbose boilerplate, and as shown in a
subsequent commit it might even lead to some confusion about the
packed backend being a "real" backend. Let's make it clear that it's
not.

When writing both loose and packed references to disk we first create a
lockfile, write the updated values into that lockfile, and on commit we
rename the file into place. According to filesystem developers, this
behaviour is broken because applications should always sync data to disk
before doing the final rename to ensure data consistency [1][2][3]. If
applications fail to do this correctly, a hard crash of the machine can
easily result in corrupted on-disk data.
This kind of corruption can in fact be easily observed with Git when the
machine hard-resets shortly after writing references to disk. On
machines with ext4, this will likely lead to the "empty files" problem:
the file has been renamed, but its data has not been synced to disk. The
result is that the reference is corrupt, and in the worst case this can
lead to data loss.
Implement a new option to harden references so that users and admins can
avoid this scenario by syncing locked loose and packed references to
disk before we rename them into place.

When reading references via `files_read_raw_ref()` we always consult
both the loose reference, and if that wasn't found, we also consult the
packed-refs file. While this makes sense to read a generic reference, it
is wasteful in the case where we only care about symbolic references:
the packed-refs backend does not support them, and thus it cannot ever
return one for us.
Special-case reading of symbolic references for the files backend such
that we always skip asking the packed-refs backend.
We use `refs_read_symbolic_ref()` extensively to determine whether we
need to skip updating local symbolic references during a fetch, which is
why the change results in a significant speedup when doing fetches in
repositories with huge numbers of references. The following benchmark

Reading of symbolic and non-symbolic references is currently treated the
same in reference backends: we always call `refs_read_raw_ref()` and
then decide based on the returned flags what type it is. This has one
downside though: symbolic references may be treated different from
normal references in a backend from normal references. The packed-refs
backend for example doesn't even know about symbolic references, and as
a result it is pointless to even ask it for one.
There are cases where we really only care about whether a reference is
symbolic or not, but don't care about whether it exists at all or may be
a non-symbolic reference. But it is not possible to optimize for this
case right now, and as a consequence we will always first check for a
loose reference to exist, and if it doesn't, we'll query the packed-refs
backend for a known-to-not-be-symbolic reference. This is inefficient
and requires us to search all packed references even though we know to
not care for the result at all.
Introduce a new function `refs_read_symbolic_ref()` which allows us to
fix this case. This function will only ever return symbolic references
and can thus optimize for the scenario layed out above. By default, if
the backend doesn't provide an implementation for it, we just use the
old code path and fall back to `read_raw_ref()`. But in case the backend
provides its own, more efficient implementation, we will use that one
instead.
Note that this function is explicitly designed to not distinguish
between missing references and non-symbolic references. If it did, we'd
be forced to always search the packed-refs backend to see whether the
symbolic reference the user asked for really doesn't exist, or if it
exists as a non-symbolic reference.

Remove the now-unused "failure_errno" parameter from the
refs_resolve_ref_unsafe() signature. In my recent 96f6623ada (Merge
branch 'ab/refs-errno-cleanup', 2021-11-29) series we made all of its
callers explicitly request the errno via an output parameter.
As that series shows all but one caller ended up passing in a
boilerplate "ignore_errno", since they only cared about whether the
return value was NULL or not, i.e. if the ref could be resolved.
There was one small issue with that series fixed with a follow-up in
31e3912369 (Merge branch 'ab/refs-errno-cleanup', 2022-01-14) a small
bug in that series was fixed.
After those two there was one caller left in sequencer.c that used the
"failure_errno', but as of the preceding commit it uses a boilerplate
"ignore_errno" instead.
This leaves the public refs API without any use of "failure_errno" at
all. We could still do with a bit of cleanup and generalization
between refs.c and refs/files-backend.c before the "reftable"
integration lands, but that's all internal to the reference code
itself.
So let's remove this output parameter. Not only isn't it used now, but
it's unlikely that we'll want it again in the future. We'd like to
slowly move the refs API to a more file-backend independent way of
communicating error codes, having it use a "failure_errno" was only
the first step in that direction. If this or any other function needs
to communicate what specifically is wrong with the requested "refname"
it'll be better to have the function set some output enum of
well-defined error states than piggy-backend on "errno".

When deleting refs from the loose-files refs backend, then we need to be
careful to also delete the same ref from the packed refs backend, if it
exists. If we don't, then deleting the loose ref would "uncover" the
packed ref. We thus always have to queue up deletions of refs for both
the loose and the packed refs backend. This is done in two separate
transactions, where the end result is that the reference-transaction
hook is executed twice for the deleted refs.
This behaviour is quite misleading: it's exposing implementation details
of how the files backend works to the user, in contrast to the logical
updates that we'd really want to expose via the hook. Worse yet, whether
the hook gets executed once or twice depends on how well-packed the
repository is: if the ref only exists as a loose ref, then we execute it
once, otherwise if it is also packed then we execute it twice.
Fix this behaviour and don't execute the reference-transaction hook at
all when refs in the packed-refs backend if it's driven by the files
backend. This works as expected even in case the refs to be deleted only
exist in the packed-refs backend because the loose-backend always queues
refs in its own transaction even if they don't exist such that they can
be locked for concurrent creation. And it also does the right thing in
case neither of the backends has the ref because that would cause the
transaction to fail completely.

created in the packed backend, which is required in a subsequent commit.

Fix a logic error in refs_resolve_ref_unsafe() introduced in a recent
series of mine to abstract the refs API away from errno. See
96f6623ada (Merge branch 'ab/refs-errno-cleanup', 2021-11-29)for that
series.
In that series introduction of "failure_errno" to
refs_resolve_ref_unsafe came in ef18119dec (refs API: add a version
of refs_resolve_ref_unsafe() with "errno", 2021-10-16). There we'd set
"errno = 0" immediately before refs_read_raw_ref(), and then set
"failure_errno" to "errno" if errno was non-zero afterwards.
Then in the next commit 8b72fea7e9 (refs API: make
refs_read_raw_ref() not set errno, 2021-10-16) we started expecting
"refs_read_raw_ref()" to set "failure_errno". It would do that if
refs_read_raw_ref() failed, but it wouldn't be the same errno.
So we might set the "errno" here to any arbitrary bad value, and end
up e.g. returning NULL when we meant to return the refname from
refs_resolve_ref_unsafe(), or the other way around. Instrumenting this
code will reveal cases where refs_read_raw_ref() will fail, and
"errno" and "failure_errno" will be set to different values.
In practice I haven't found a case where this scary bug changed
anything in practice. The reason for that is that we'll not care about
the actual value of "errno" here per-se, but only whether:
1. We have an errno
2. If it's one of ENOENT, EISDIR or ENOTDIR. See the adjacent code
added in a1c1d8170d (refs_resolve_ref_unsafe: handle d/f
conflicts for writes, 2017-10-06)
I.e. if we clobber "failure_errno" with "errno", but it happened to be
one of those three, and we'll clobber it with another one of the three
we were OK.
Perhaps there are cases where the difference ended up mattering, but I
haven't found them. Instrumenting the test suite to fail if "errno"
and "failure_errno" are different shows a lot of failures, checking if
they're different *and* one is but not the other is outside that list
of three "errno" values yields no failures.
But let's fix the obvious bug. We should just stop paying attention to
"errno" in refs_resolve_ref_unsafe(). In addition let's change the
partial resetting of "errno" in files_read_raw_ref() to happen just
before the "return", to ensure that any such bug will be more easily
spotted in the future.

The expire_reflog_ent() function shouldn't need to deal with the

by doing this the --verbose output becomes backend-agnostic, so
reftable will get the same output.

This argument was introduced in abd0cd3a30 (refs: new public ref function:
safe_create_reflog, 2015-07-21), which promised to immediately use it in a
follow-on commit, but that never happened.

Follow through the work to use the repo interface to access
submodule objects in-process, instead of abusing the alternate
object database interface.
* jt/no-abuse-alternate-odb-for-submodules:
submodule: trace adding submodule ODB as alternate
submodule: pass repo to check_has_commit()
object-file: only register submodule ODB if needed
merge-{ort,recursive}: remove add_submodule_odb()
refs: peeling non-the_repository iterators is BUG
refs: teach arbitrary repo support to iterators
refs: plumb repo into ref stores
Rename the transitory refs_werrres_ref_unsafe() function to
refs_resolve_ref_unsafe(), now that all callers of the old function
have learned to pass in a "failure_errno" parameter.
The coccinelle semantic patch added in the preceding commit works, but
I couldn't figure out how to get spatch(1) to re-flow these argument
lists (and sometimes make lines way too long), so this rename was done
with:
perl -pi -e 's/refs_werrres_ref_unsafe/refs_resolve_ref_unsafe/g' \
$(git grep -l refs_werrres_ref_unsafe -- '*.c')
But after that "make contrib/coccinelle/refs.cocci.patch" comes up
empty, so the result would have been the same. Let's remove that
transitory semantic patch file, we won't need to retain it for any
other in-flight changes, refs_werrres_ref_unsafe() only existed within
this patch series.

None of the callers of rename_ref() and copy_ref() care about errno,
and as seen in the context here we already emit our own non-errno
using error() in the case where we'd use it.
So let's have it explicitly ignore errno, and do the same in
commit_ref_update(), which is only used within other code in
files_copy_or_rename_ref() itself which doesn't care about errno
either.
It might actually be sensible to have the callers use errno if the
failure was filesystem-specific, and with the upcoming reftable
backend we don't want to rely on that sort of thing, so let's keep
ignoring that for now.

Change the refs_resolve_ref_unsafe() invoked in loose_fill_ref_dir()
to a form that ignores errno. The only eventual caller of this
function is create_ref_cache(), whose callers in turn don't have their
failure depend on any errno set here.
