Gives a better DWIM behaviour for --pretty=format:%gd, "stash list", and
"log -g", depending on how the starting point ("master" vs "master@{0}" vs
"master@{now}") and date formatting options (e.g. "--date=iso") are given
on the command line.

* jk/maint-reflog-walk-count-vs-time:
reflog-walk: tell explicit --date=default from not having --date at all
reflog-walk: always make HEAD@{0} show indexed selectors
reflog-walk: clean up "flag" field of commit_reflog struct
log: respect date_mode_explicit with --format:%gd
t1411: add more selector index/date tests
Introduction of opt->date_mode_explicit was a step in the right direction,
but lost that crucial bit at the very end of the callchain, and the callee
could not tell an explicitly specified "I want *date* but in default format"
from the built-in default value passed when there was no --date specified.

When we are showing reflog selectors during a walk, we infer
from context whether the user wanted to see the index in
each selector, or the reflog date. The current rules are:
1. if the user asked for an explicit date format in the
output, show the date
2. if the user asked for ref@{now}, show the date
3. if neither is true, show the index
However, if we see "ref@{0}", that should be a strong clue
that the user wants to see the counted version. In fact, it
should be much stronger than the date format in (1). The
user may have been setting the date format to use in another
part of the output (e.g., in --format="%gd (%ad)", they may
have wanted to influence the author date).
This patch flips the rules to:
1. if the user asked for ref@{0}, always show the index
2. if the user asked for ref@{now}, always show the date
3. otherwise, we have just "ref"; show them counted by
default, but respect the presence of "--date" as a clue
that the user wanted them date-based

When we prepare to walk a reflog, we parse the specification
and pull some information from it, such as which reflog to
look in (e.g., HEAD), and where to start (e.g., HEAD@{10} or
HEAD@{yesterday}). The resulting struct has a "recno" field
to show where in the reflog we are starting. It also has a
"flag" field; if true, it means the recno field came from
parsing a date like HEAD@{yesterday}.
There are two problems with this:
1. "flag" is an absolutely terrible name, as it conveys
nothing about the meaning
2. you can tell "HEAD" from "HEAD@{yesterday}", but you
can't differentiate "HEAD" from "HEAD{0}"
This patch converts the flag into a tri-state (and gives it
a better name!).

When doing a reflog walk, you can get some information about
the reflog (such as the subject line), but not the identity
information (i.e., name and email).
Let's make those available, mimicing the options for author
and committer identity.

resolve_ref() may return a pointer to a static buffer. Callers that
use this value longer than a couple of statements should copy the
value to avoid some hidden resolve_ref() call that may change the
static buffer's value.
The bug found by Tony Wang <wwwjfy@gmail.com> in builtin/merge.c
demonstrates this. The first call is in cmd_merge()
branch = resolve_ref("HEAD", head_sha1, 0, &flag);
Then deep in lookup_commit_or_die() a few lines after, resolve_ref()
may be called again and destroy "branch".

The reflog-walking mechanism is based on the regular
revision traversal. We just rewrite the parents of each
commit in fake_reflog_parent to point to the commit in the
next reflog entry instead of the real parents.
However, the regular revision traversal tries not to show
the same commit twice, and so sets the SHOWN flag on each
commit it shows. In a reflog, however, we may want to see
the same commit more than once if it appears in the reflog
multiple times (which easily happens, for example, if you do
a reset to a prior state).
The fake_reflog_parent function takes care of this by
clearing flags, including SHOWN. Unfortunately, it does so
at the very end of the function, and it is possible to
return early from the function if there is no fake parent to
set up (e.g., because we are at the very first reflog entry
on the branch). In such a case the flag is not cleared, and
the entry is skipped by the revision traversal machinery as
already shown.
You can see this by walking the log of a ref which is set to
its very first commit more than once (the test below shows
such a situation). In this case the reflog walk will fail to
show the entry for the initial creation of the ref.
We don't want to simply move the flag-clearing to the top of
the function; we want to make sure flags set during the
fake-parent installation are also cleared. Instead, let's
hoist the flag-clearing out of the fake_reflog_parent
function entirely. It's not really about fake parents
anyway, and the only caller is the get_revision machinery.

Add three new --pretty=format escapes:
%gD long reflog descriptor (e.g. refs/stash@{0})
%gd short reflog descriptor (e.g. stash@{0})
%gs reflog message
This is achieved by passing down the reflog info, if any, inside the
pretty_print_context struct.
We use the newly refactored get_reflog_selector(), and give it some
extra functionality to extract a shortened ref. The shortening is
cached inside the commit_reflogs struct; the only allocation of it
happens in read_complete_reflog(), where it is initialised to 0. Also
add another helper get_reflog_message() for the message extraction.
Note that the --format="%h %gD: %gs" tests may not work in real
repositories, as the --pretty formatter doesn't know to leave away the
": " on the last commit in an incomplete (because git-gc removed the
old part) reflog. This equivalence is nevertheless the main goal of
this patch.
Thanks to Jeff King for reviews, the %gd testcase and documentation.

The multiline reflog format (e.g., as shown by "git log -g")
will show HEAD@{<date>} rather than HEAD@{<count>} in two
situations:
1. If the user gave branch@{<date>} syntax to specify the
reflog
2. If the user gave a --date=<format> specifier
It uses the "normal" date format in case 1, and the
user-specified format in case 2.
The oneline reflog format (e.g., "git reflog show" or "git
log -g --oneline") will show the date in the same two
circumstances. However, it _always_ shows the date as a
relative date, and it always ignores the timezone.
In case 2, it seems ridiculous to trigger the date but use a
format totally different from what the user requested.
For case 1, it is arguable that the user might want to see
the relative date by default; however, the multiline version
shows the normal format.
This patch does three things:
- refactors the "relative_date" parameter to
show_reflog_message to be an actual date_mode enum,
since this is how it is used (it is passed to show_date)
- uses the passed date_mode parameter in the oneline
format (making it consistent with the multiline format)
- does not ignore the timezone parameter in oneline mode

$ git mv Documentation/technical/api-path-list.txt \
Documentation/technical/api-string-list.txt
$ perl -i -pe 's/strdup_paths/strdup_strings/g' $(git grep -l strdup_paths)
... and then fix all users of string-list to access the member "string"
instead of "path".
Documentation/technical/api-string-list.txt needed some rewrapping, too.
