This replaces run_apply() implementation with a new one that
uses the apply API that has been previously prepared in
apply.c and apply.h.
This shoud improve performance a lot in certain cases.
As the previous implementation was creating a new `git apply`
process to apply each patch, it could be slow on systems like
Windows where it is costly to create new processes.
Also the new `git apply` process had to read the index from
disk, and when the process was done the calling process
discarded its own index and read back from disk the new
index that had been created by the `git apply` process.
This could be very inefficient with big repositories that
have big index files, especially when the system decided
that it was a good idea to run the `git apply` processes on
a different processor core.
Also eliminating index reads enables further performance
improvements by using:
`git update-index --split-index`
For example here is a benchmark of a multi hundred commit
rebase on the Linux kernel on a Debian laptop with SSD:
command: git rebase --onto 1993b17 52bef0c 29dde7c
Vanilla "next" without split index: 1m54.953s
Vanilla "next" with split index: 1m22.476s
This series on top of "next" without split index: 1m12.034s
This series on top of "next" with split index: 0m15.678s
(using branch "next" from mid April 2016.)

Parsing `git apply` options can be useful to other commands that
want to call the libified apply functionality, because this way
they can easily pass some options from their own command line to
the libified apply functionality.
This will be used by `git am` in a following patch.
To make this possible, let's refactor the `git apply` option
parsing code into a new libified apply_parse_options() function.
Doing that makes it possible to remove some functions definitions
from "apply.h" and make them static in "apply.c".

This changes 'int apply_verbosely' into 'enum apply_verbosity', and
changes the possible values of the variable from a bool to
a tristate.
The previous 'false' state is changed into 'verbosity_normal'.
The previous 'true' state is changed into 'verbosity_verbose'.
The new added state is 'verbosity_silent'. It should prevent
anything to be printed on both stderr and stdout.
This is needed because `git am` wants to first call apply
functionality silently, if it can then fall back on 3-way merge
in case of error.
Printing on stdout, and calls to warning() or error() are not
taken care of in this patch, as that will be done in following

When pack-objects is given --include-tag, it peels each tag
ref down to a non-tag object, and if that non-tag object is
going to be packed, we include the tag, too. But what
happens if we have a chain of tags (e.g., tag "A" points to
tag "B", which points to commit "C")?
We'll peel down to "C" and realize that we want to include
tag "A", but we do not ever consider tag "B", leading to a
broken pack (assuming "B" was not otherwise selected).
Instead, we have to walk the whole chain, adding any tags we
find to the pack.
Interestingly, it doesn't seem possible to trigger this
problem with "git fetch", but you can with "git clone
--single-branch". The reason is that we generate the correct
pack when the client explicitly asks for "A" (because we do
a real reachability analysis there), and "fetch" is more
willing to do so. There are basically two cases:
1. If "C" is already a ref tip, then the client can deduce
that it needs "A" itself (via find_non_local_tags), and
will ask for it explicitly rather than relying on the
include-tag capability. Everything works.
2. If "C" is not already a ref tip, then we hope for
include-tag to send us the correct tag. But it doesn't;
it generates a broken pack. However, the next step is
to do a follow-up run of find_non_local_tags(),
followed by fetch_refs() to backfill any tags we
learned about.
In the normal case, fetch_refs() calls quickfetch(),
which does a connectivity check and sees we have no
new objects to fetch. We just write the refs.
But for the broken-pack case, the connectivity check
fails, and quickfetch will follow-up with the remote,
asking explicitly for each of the ref tips. This picks
up the missing object in a new pack.
For a regular "git clone", we are similarly OK, because we
explicitly request all of the tag refs, and get a correct
pack. But with "--single-branch", we kick in tag
auto-following via "include-tag", but do _not_ do a
follow-up backfill. We just take whatever the server sent us
via include-tag and write out tag refs for any tag objects
we were sent. So prior to c6807a4 (clone: open a shortcut
for connectivity check, 2013-05-26), we actually claimed the
clone was a success, but the result was silently
corrupted! Since c6807a4, index-pack's connectivity
check catches this case, and we correctly complain.
The included test directly checks that pack-objects does not
generate a broken pack, but also confirms that "clone
--single-branch" does not hit the bug.
Note that tag chains introduce another interesting question:
if we are packing the tag "B" but not the commit "C", should
"A" be included?
Both before and after this patch, we do not include "A",
because the initial peel_ref() check only knows about the
bottom-most level, "C". To realize that "B" is involved at
all, we would have to switch to an incremental peel, in
which we examine each tagged object, asking if it is being
packed (and including the outer tag if so).
But that runs contrary to the optimizations in peel_ref(),
which avoid accessing the objects at all, in favor of using
the value we pull from packed-refs. It's OK to walk the
whole chain once we know we're going to include the tag (we
have to access it anyway, so the effort is proportional to
the pack we're generating). But for the initial selection,
we have to look at every ref. If we're only packing a few
objects, we'd still have to parse every single referenced
tag object just to confirm that it isn't part of a tag
chain.
This could be addressed if packed-refs stored the complete
tag chain for each peeled ref (in most cases, this would be
the same cost as now, as each "chain" is only a single
link). But given the size of that project, it's out of scope
for this fix (and probably nobody cares enough anyway, as
it's such an obscure situation). This commit limits itself
to just avoiding the creation of a broken pack.

Add an extension to git-diff and git-log (and any other graph-aware
displayable output) such that "--line-prefix=<string>" will print the
additional line-prefix on every line of output.
To make this work, we have to fix a few bugs in the graph API that force
graph_show_commit_msg to be used only when you have a valid graph.
Additionally, we extend the default_diff_output_prefix handler to work
even when no graph is enabled.
This is somewhat of a hack on top of the graph API, but I think it
should be acceptable here.
This will be used by a future extension of submodule display which
displays the submodule diff as the actual diff between the pre and post
commit in the submodule project.
Add some tests for both git-log and git-diff to ensure that the prefix
is honored correctly.

Since 3b75ee9 ("blame: allow to blame paths freshly added to the index",
2016-07-16) git blame also looks at the index to determine if there is a
file that was freshly added to the index.
cache_name_pos returns -pos - 1 in case there is no match is found, or
if the name matches, but the entry has a stage other than 0. As git
blame should work for unmerged files, it uses strcmp to determine
whether the name of the returned position matches, in which case the
file exists, but is merely unmerged, or if the file actually doesn't
exist in the index.
If the repository is empty, or if the file would lexicographically be
sorted as the last file in the repository, -cache_name_pos - 1 is
outside of the length of the active_cache array, causing git blame to
segfault. Guard against that, and die() normally to restore the old
behaviour.

When `--recursive` and `--reference` is given, it is reasonable to
expect that the submodules are created with references to the submodules
of the given alternate for the superproject.
An initial attempt to do this was presented to the mailing list, which
used flags that are passed around ("--super-reference") that instructed
the submodule clone to look for a reference in the submodules of the
referenced superproject. This is not well thought out, as any further
`submodule update` should also respect the initial setup.
When a new submodule is added to the superproject and the alternate
of the superproject does not know about that submodule yet, we rather
error out informing the user instead of being unclear if we did or did
not use a submodules alternate.
