A couple of 'ci/*' scripts are shared between different build jobs:
'ci/lib-travisci.sh', being a common library, is sourced from almost
every script, while 'ci/install-dependencies.sh', 'ci/run-build.sh'
and 'ci/run-tests.sh' are shared between the "regular" GCC and Clang
Linux and OSX build jobs, and the latter two scripts are used in the
GETTEXT_POISON Linux build job as well.
Our builds could benefit from these shared scripts being able to
easily tell which build job they are taking part in. Now, it's
already quite easy to tell apart Linux vs OSX and GCC vs Clang build
jobs, but it gets trickier with all the additional Linux-based build
jobs included explicitly in the build matrix.
Unfortunately, Travis CI doesn't provide much help in this regard.
The closest we've got is the $TRAVIS_JOB_NUMBER variable, the value of
which is two dot-separated integers, where the second integer
indicates a particular build job. While it would be possible to use
that second number to identify the build job in our shared scripts, it
doesn't seem like a good idea to rely on that:
- Though the build job numbering sequence seems to be stable so far,
Travis CI's documentation doesn't explicitly states that it is
indeed stable and will remain so in the future. And even if it
were stable,
- if we were to remove or insert a build job in the middle, then the
job numbers of all subsequent build jobs would change accordingly.
So roll our own means of simple build job identification and introduce
the $jobname environment variable in our builds, setting it in the
environments of the explicitly included jobs in '.travis.yml', while
constructing one in 'ci/lib-travisci.sh' as the combination of the OS
and compiler name for the GCC and Clang Linux and OSX build jobs. Use
$jobname instead of $TRAVIS_OS_NAME in scripts taking different
actions based on the OS and build job (when installing P4 and Git LFS
dependencies and including them in $PATH). The following two patches
will also rely on $jobname.

Linux build jobs on Travis CI skip the P4 and Git LFS tests since
commit 657343a60 (travis-ci: move Travis CI code into dedicated
scripts, 2017-09-10), claiming there are no P4 or Git LFS installed.
The reason is that P4 and Git LFS binaries are not installed to a
directory in the default $PATH, but their directories are prepended to
$PATH. This worked just fine before said commit, because $PATH was
set in a scriptlet embedded in our '.travis.yml', thus its new value
was visible during the rest of the build job. However, after these
embedded scriptlets were moved into dedicated scripts executed in
separate shell processes, any variable set in one of those scripts is
only visible in that single script but not in any of the others. In
this case, 'ci/install-dependencies.sh' downloads P4 and Git LFS and
modifies $PATH, but to no effect, because 'ci/run-tests.sh' only sees
Travis CI's default $PATH.
Move adjusting $PATH to 'ci/lib-travisci.sh', which is sourced in all
other 'ci/' scripts, so all those scripts will see the updated $PATH
value.

If we push a branch and a tag pointing to the HEAD of this branch,
then Travis CI would run the build twice. This wastes resources and
slows the testing.
Add a function to detect this situation and skip the build the branch
if appropriate. Invoke this function on every build.

Most of the Travis CI commands are in the '.travis.yml'. The yml format
does not support functions and therefore code duplication is necessary
to run commands across all builds.
To fix this, add a library for common CI functions. Move all Travis CI
code into dedicated scripts and make them call the library first.

The Git for Windows CI web app sometimes returns HTTP errors of

check the HTTP content because the GfW web app seems to pass through
(error) results from other Azure calls with HTTP code 200.
Wait a little and retry the request if this happens.

`make` does not necessarily fail with an error code if
Asciidoc/AsciiDoctor encounters problems. Anything written to stderr
might be a better indicator for problems.
Ensure that nothing is written to stderr during a documentation build.
The redirects do not work in `sh`, therefore the script uses `bash`.
This shouldn't be a problem as the script is only executed on TravisCI.

Most Git developers work on Linux and they have no way to know if their
changes would break the Git for Windows build. Let's fix that by adding
a job to TravisCI that builds and tests Git on Windows. Unfortunately,
TravisCI does not support Windows.
Therefore, we did the following:
* Johannes Schindelin set up a Visual Studio Team Services build
sponsored by Microsoft and made it accessible via an Azure Function
that speaks a super-simple API. We made TravisCI use this API to
trigger a build, wait until its completion, and print the build and
test results.
* A Windows build and test run takes up to 3h and TravisCI has a timeout
after 50min for Open Source projects. Since the TravisCI job does not
use heavy CPU/memory/etc. resources, the friendly TravisCI folks
extended the job timeout for git/git to 3h.
Things, that would need to be done:
* Someone with write access to https://travis-ci.org/git/git would need
to add the secret token as "GFW_CI_TOKEN" variable in the TravisCI
repository setting [1]. Afterwards the build should just work.
Things, that might need to be done:
* The Windows box can only process a single build at a time. A second
Windows build would need to wait until the first finishes. This
waiting time and the build time after the wait could exceed the 3h
threshold. If this is a problem, then it is likely to happen every day
as usually multiple branches are pushed at the same time (pu/next/
master/maint). I cannot test this as my TravisCI account has the 50min
timeout. One solution could be to limit the number of concurrent
TravisCI jobs [2].

When Git v2.9.1 was released, it had a bug that showed only on Windows
and on 32-bit systems: our assumption that `unsigned long` can hold
64-bit values turned out to be wrong.
This could have been caught earlier if we had a Continuous Testing
set up that includes a build and test run on 32-bit Linux.
Let's do this (and take care of the Windows build later). This patch
asks Travis CI to install a Docker image with 32-bit libraries and then
goes on to build and test Git using this 32-bit setup.
