Code clean-up for xdg configuration path support.
* pt/xdg-config-path:
path.c: remove home_config_paths()
git-config: replace use of home_config_paths()
git-commit: replace use of home_config_paths()
credential-store.c: replace home_config_paths() with xdg_config_home()
dir.c: replace home_config_paths() with xdg_config_home()
attr.c: replace home_config_paths() with xdg_config_home()
path.c: implement xdg_config_home()
t0302: "unreadable" test needs POSIXPERM
t0302: test credential-store support for XDG_CONFIG_HOME
git-credential-store: support XDG_CONFIG_HOME
git-credential-store: support multiple credential files
Since only the xdg credentials file path is required, and
home_config_paths() is unable to construct the path ~/.git-credentials,
simplify the code by replacing home_config_paths() with
xdg_config_home().

Add $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/git/credentials to the default credential search
path of git-credential-store. This allows git-credential-store to
support user-specific configuration files in accordance with the XDG
base directory specification[1].
[1] http://standards.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-0.7.html
~/.git-credentials has a higher precedence than
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/git/credentials when looking up credentials. This
means that if any duplicate matching credentials are found in the xdg
file (due to ~/.git-credentials being updated by old versions of git or
outdated tools), they will not be used at all. This is to give the user
some leeway in switching to old versions of git while keeping the xdg
directory. This is consistent with the behavior of git-config.
However, the higher precedence of ~/.git-credentials means that as long
as ~/.git-credentials exist, all credentials will be written to the
~/.git-credentials file even if the user has an xdg file as having a
~/.git-credentials file indicates that the user wants to preserve
backwards-compatibility. This is also consistent with the behavior of
git-config.
To make this precedence explicit in docs/git-credential-store, add a new
section FILES that lists out the credential file paths in their order of
precedence, and explain how the ordering affects the lookup, storage and
erase operations.
Also, update the documentation for --file to briefly explain the
operations on multiple files if the --file option is not provided.
Since the xdg file will not be used unless it actually exists, to
prevent the situation where some credentials are present in the xdg file
while some are present in the home file, users are recommended to not
create the xdg file if they require compatibility with old versions of
git or outdated tools. Note, though, that "erase" can be used to
explicitly erase matching credentials from all files.

Previously, git-credential-store only supported storing credentials in a
single file: ~/.git-credentials. In order to support the XDG base
directory specification[1], git-credential-store needs to be able to
lookup and erase credentials from multiple files, as well as to pick the
appropriate file to write to so that the credentials can be found on
subsequent lookups.
[1] http://standards.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-0.7.html
Note that some credential storage files may not be owned, readable or
writable by the user, as they may be system-wide files that are meant to
apply to every user.
Instead of a single file path, lookup_credential(), remove_credential()
and store_credential() now take a precedence-ordered string_list of
file paths. lookup_credential() expects both user-specific and
system-wide credential files to be provided to support the use case of
system administrators setting default credentials for users.
remove_credential() and store_credential() expect only the user-specific
credential files to be provided as usually the only config files that
users are allowed to edit are their own user-specific ones.
lookup_credential() will read these (user-specific and system-wide) file
paths in order until it finds the 1st matching credential and print it.
As some files may be private and thus unreadable, any file which cannot
be read will be ignored silently.
remove_credential() will erase credentials from all (user-specific)
files in the list. This is because if credentials are only erased from
the file with the highest precedence, a matching credential may still be
found in a file further down the list. (Note that due to the lockfile
code, this requires the directory to be writable, which should be so for
user-specific config files)
store_credential() will write the credentials to the first existing
(user-specific) file in the list. If none of the files in the list
exist, store_credential() will write to the filename specified by the
first item of the filename list. For backwards compatibility, this
filename should be "~/.git-credentials".

This patch puts the usage info strings that were not already in docopt-
like format into docopt-like format, which will be a litle easier for
end users and a lot easier for translators. Changes include:
- Placing angle brackets around fill-in-the-blank parameters
- Putting dashes in multiword parameter names
- Adding spaces to [-f|--foobar] to make [-f | --foobar]
- Replacing <foobar>* with [<foobar>...]

Move the interface declaration for the functions in lockfile.c from
cache.h to a new file, lockfile.h. Add #includes where necessary (and
remove some redundant includes of cache.h by files that already
include builtin.h).
Move the documentation of the lock_file state diagram from lockfile.c
to the new header file.

Sparse issues 68 errors (two errors for each main() function) such
as the following:
SP git.c
git.c:510:5: error: too many arguments for function mingw_main
git.c:510:5: error: symbol 'mingw_main' redeclared with different type \
(originally declared at git.c:510) - different argument counts
The errors are caused by the 'main' macro used by the MinGW build
to provide a replacement main() function. The original main function
is effectively renamed to 'mingw_main' and is called from the new
main function. The replacement main is used to execute certain actions
common to all git programs on MinGW (e.g. ensure the standard I/O
streams are in binary mode).
In order to suppress the errors, we change the macro to include the
parameters in the declaration of the mingw_main function.
Unfortunately, this change provokes both sparse and gcc to complain
about 9 calls to mingw_main(), such as the following:
CC git.o
git.c: In function 'main':
git.c:510: warning: passing argument 2 of 'mingw_main' from \
incompatible pointer type
git.c:510: note: expected 'const char **' but argument is of \
type 'char **'
In order to suppress these warnings, since both of the main
functions need to be declared with the same prototype, we
change the declaration of the 9 main functions, thus:
int main(int argc, char **argv)

This is like "cache", except that we actually put the
credentials on disk. This can be terribly insecure, of
course, but we do what we can to protect them by filesystem
permissions, and we warn the user in the documentation.
This is not unlike using .netrc to store entries, but it's a
little more user-friendly. Instead of putting credentials in
place ahead of time, we transparently store them after
prompting the user for them once.
