If the trace code cannot open a specified file, or does not
understand the contents of the GIT_TRACE variable, it falls
back to printing trace output to stderr.
This is an attempt to be helpful, but in practice it just
ends up annoying. The user was trying to get the output to
go somewhere else, so spewing it to stderr does not really
accomplish that. And as it's intended for debugging, they
can presumably re-run the command with their error
corrected.
So instead of falling back, this patch disables bogus trace
keys for the rest of the program, just as we do for write
errors. We can drop the "Defaulting to..." part of the error
message entirely; after seeing "cannot open '/foo'", the
user can assume that tracing is skipped.

This function has no callers, and is not likely to gain any
because it's confusing to use.
It unconditionally complains to stderr, but _doesn't_ die.
Yet any caller which wants a "gentle" write would generally
want to suppress the error message, because presumably
they're going to write a better one, and/or try the
operation again.
And the check_pipe() call leads to confusing behaviors. It
means we die for EPIPE, but not for other errors, which is
confusing and pointless.
On top of all that, it has unusual error return semantics,
which makes it easy for callers to get it wrong.
Let's drop the function, and if somebody ever needs to
resurrect something like it, they can fix these warts.

If we get a write error writing to a trace descriptor, the
error isn't likely to go away if we keep writing. Instead,
you'll just get the same error over and over. E.g., try:
GIT_TRACE_PACKET=42 git ls-remote >/dev/null
You don't really need to see:
warning: unable to write trace for GIT_TRACE_PACKET: Bad file descriptor
hundreds of times. We could fallback to tracing to stderr,
as we do in the error code-path for open(), but there's not
much point. If the user fed us a bogus descriptor, they're
probably better off fixing their invocation. And if they
didn't, and we saw a transient error (e.g., ENOSPC writing
to a file), it probably doesn't help anybody to have half of
the trace in a file, and half on stderr.

Our error message for write() always mentions GIT_TRACE,
even though we may be writing for a different variable
entirely. It's also not quite accurate to say "fd given by
GIT_TRACE environment variable", as we may hit this error
based on a filename the user put in the variable (we do
complain and switch to stderr if the file cannot be opened,
but it's still possible to hit a write() error on the
descriptor later).
So let's fix those things, and switch to our more usual
"unable to do X: Y" format for the error.

The error messages for the trace code are often multi-line;
the first line gets a nice "warning:", but the rest are
left-aligned. Let's give them an indentation to make sure
they stand out as a unit.
While we're here, let's also downcase the first letter of
each error (our usual style), and break up a long line of
advice (since we're already using multiple lines, one more
doesn't hurt).
We also replace "What does 'foo' for GIT_TRACE mean?". While
cute, it's probably a good idea to give more context, and
follow our usual styles. So it's now "unknown trace value
for 'GIT_TRACE': foo".

Right now we just fprintf() straight to stderr, which can
make the output hard to distinguish. It would be helpful to
give it one of our usual prefixes like "error:", "warning:",
etc.
It doesn't make sense to use error() here, as the trace code
is "optional" debugging code. If something goes wrong, we
should warn the user, but saying "error" implies the actual
git operation had a problem. So warning() is the only sane
choice.
Note that this does end up calling warn_routine() to do the
formatting. This is probably a good thing, since they are
clearly trying to hook messages before they make it to
stderr. However, it also means that in theory somebody who
tries to trace from their warn_routine() could cause a loop.
This seems rather unlikely in practice (we've never even
overridden the default warn_builtin routine before, and
recent discussions to do so would just install a noop
routine).

The write_or_whine_pipe function does two things:
1. it checks for EPIPE and converts it into a signal death
2. it prints a message to stderr on error
The first thing does not help us, and actively hurts.
Generally we would simply die from SIGPIPE in this case,
unless somebody has taken the time to ignore SIGPIPE for the
whole process. And if they _did_ do that, it seems rather
silly for the trace code, which otherwise takes pains to
continue even in the face of errors (e.g., by not using
write_or_die!), to take down the whole process for one
specific type of error.
Nor does the second thing help us; it just makes it harder
to write our error message, because we have to feed bits of
it as an argument to write_or_whine_pipe(). Translators
never get to see the full message, and it's hard for us to
customize it.
Let's switch to just using write_in_full() and writing our
own error string. For now, the error is identical to what
write_or_whine_pipe() would say, but now that it's more
under our control, we can improve it in future patches.

All of the trace functions treat a NULL key as a synonym for
the default GIT_TRACE key. Except for trace_disable(), which
will segfault.
Fortunately, this can't cause any bugs, as the function has
no callers. But rather than drop it, let's fix the bug, as I
plan to add a caller.

There is an optimization used in "git diff $treeA $treeB" to borrow
an already checked-out copy in the working tree when it is known to
be the same as the blob being compared, expecting that open/mmap of
such a file is faster than reading it from the object store, which
involves inflating and applying delta. This however kicked in even
when the checked-out copy needs to go through the convert-to-git
conversion (including the clean filter), which defeats the whole
point of the optimization. The optimization has been disabled when
the conversion is necessary.

Commit 959b5455 (submodule: implement a config API for lookup of
.gitmodules values, 2015-08-18) implemented the initial version of the
submodule config cache. During development of that initial version we
extracted the function gitmodule_sha1_from_commit(). During that process
we missed that the strbuf rev was still used in config_from() and now is
left empty. Lets fix this by also returning this string.
This means that now when reading .gitmodules from revisions, the error
messages also contain a reference to the blob they are from.
