Remove a test in t3402 that has been redundant ever since 80ff47957b
(rebase: remember strategy and strategy options, 2011-02-06). That
commit added a new test, the first part of which (as noted in the old
commit message) duplicated an existing test.
Also remove a test t3418 that has been redundant since the merge backend
was removed in 68aa495b59 (rebase: implement --merge via the interactive
machinery, 2018-12-11), since it now tests the same code paths as the
preceding test.

To store the strategy options rebase prepends " --" to each one and
writes them to a file. To load them it reads the file and passes the
contents to split_cmdline(). This roughly mimics the behavior of the
scripted rebase but has a couple of limitations, (1) options containing
whitespace are not properly preserved (this is true of the scripted
rebase as well) and (2) options containing '"' or '\' are incorrectly
parsed and may cause the parser to return an error.
Fix these limitations by quoting each option when they are stored so
that they can be parsed correctly. Now that "--preserve-merges" no
longer exist this change also stops prepending "--" to the options when
they are stored as that was an artifact of the scripted rebase.
These changes are backwards compatible so the files written by an older
version of git can still be read. They are also forwards compatible,
the file can still be parsed by recent versions of git as they treat the
"--" prefix as optional.

When handling "--strategy-option" rebase collects the commands into a
struct string_list, then concatenates them into a string, prepending "--"
to each one before splitting the string and removing the "--" prefix.
This is an artifact of the scripted rebase and the need to support
"rebase --preserve-merges". Now that "--preserve-merges" no-longer
exists we can cleanup the way the argument is handled.
The tests for a bad strategy option are adjusted now that
parse_strategy_opts() is no-longer called when starting a rebase. The
fact that it only errors out when running "git rebase --continue" is a
mixed blessing but the next commit will fix the root cause of the
parsing problem so lets not worry about that here.

The sequencer stores the merge strategy options in an array of strings
which allocated with ALLOC_GROW(). Using "struct strvec" avoids manually
managing the memory of that array and simplifies the code.
Aside from memory allocation the changes to the sequencer are largely
mechanical, changing xopts_nr to xopts.nr and xopts[i] to xopts.v[i]. A
new option parsing macro OPT_STRVEC() is also added to collect the
strategy options. Hopefully this can be used to simplify the code in
builtin/merge.c in the future.
Note that there is a change of behavior to "git cherry-pick" and "git
revert" as passing “--no-strategy-option” will now clear any previous
strategy options whereas before this change it did nothing.

The state files for "--strategy" and "--strategy-option" are written and
read twice, once by builtin/rebase.c and then by sequencer.c. This is an
artifact of the scripted rebase and the need to support "rebase
--preserve-merges". Now that "--preserve-merges" no-longer exists we
only need to read and write these files in sequencer.c. This enables us
to remove a call to free() in read_strategy_opts() that was added by
f1f4ebf432 (sequencer.c: fix "opts->strategy" leak in
read_strategy_opts(), 2022-11-08) as this commit fixes the root cause of
that leak.
There is further scope for removing duplication in the reading and
writing of state files between builtin/rebase.c and sequencer.c but that
is left for a follow up series.

As discussed in t/README, tests should aim to use PERL_PATH rather than
straight "perl". We usually do this automatically with a "perl" function
in test-lib.sh, but a few cases need to be handled specially.
One such case is the apply-one-time-perl.sh CGI, which invokes plain
"perl". It should be using $PERL_PATH, but to make that work, we must
also instruct Apache to pass through the variable.
Prior to this patch, doing:
mv /usr/bin/perl /usr/bin/my-perl
make PERL_PATH=/usr/bin/my-perl test
would fail t5702, t5703, and t5616. After this it passes. This is a
pretty extreme case, as even if you install perl elsewhere, you'd likely
still have it in your $PATH. A more realistic case is that you don't
want to use the perl in your $PATH (because it's older, broken, etc) and
expect PERL_PATH to consistently override that (since that's what it's
documented to do). Removing it completely is just a convenient way of
completely breaking it for testing purposes.

However, in 2008 asciidoc added the attributes to do this properly [1].

But in 2023 we are doing it properly, so there's no need for the custom

When no merge.tool or diff.tool is configured or manually selected, the
selection of a default tool is sensitive to the DISPLAY variable; in a
GUI session a gui-specific tool will be proposed if found, and
otherwise a terminal-based one. This "GUI-optimizing" behavior is
important because a GUI can make a huge difference to a user's ability
to understand and correctly complete a non-trivial conflicting merge.
Some time ago the merge.guitool and diff.guitool config options were
introduced to enable users to configure both a GUI tool, and a non-GUI
tool (with fallback if no GUI tool configured), in the same environment.
Unfortunately, the --gui argument introduced to support the selection of
the guitool is still explicit. When using configured tools, there is no
equivalent of the no-tool-configured "propose a GUI tool if we are in a GUI
environment" behavior.
As proposed in <xmqqmtb8jsej.fsf@gitster.g>, introduce new configuration
options, difftool.guiDefault and mergetool.guiDefault, supporting a special
value "auto" which causes the corresponding tool or guitool to be selected
depending on the presence of a non-empty DISPLAY value. Also support "true"
to say "default to the guitool (unless --no-gui is passed on the
commandline)", and "false" as the previous default behavior when these new
configuration options are not specified.

A user could prepare an empty repository and set it to use SHA256 as
the object format. The new repository created by "git clone" from
such a repository however would not record that it is expecting
objects in the same SHA256 format. This works as expected if the
source repository is not empty.
Just like we started copying the name of the primary branch from the
remote repository even if it is unborn in 3d8314f8 (clone: propagate
empty remote HEAD even with other branches, 2022-07-07), lift the
code that records the object format out of the block executed only
when cloning from an instantiated repository, so that it works also
