Move the responsibility for normalizing prefixes from
longest_ancestor_length() to its callers. Use slightly different
normalizations at the two callers:
In setup_git_directory_gently_1(), use the old normalization, which
ignores paths that are not usable. In the next commit we will change
this caller to also resolve symlinks in the paths from
GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES as part of the normalization.
In "test-path-utils longest_ancestor_length", use the old
normalization, but die() if any paths are unusable. Also change t0060
to only pass normalized paths to the test program (no empty entries or
non-absolute paths, strip trailing slashes from the paths, and remove
tests that thereby become redundant).
The point of this change is to reduce the scope of the ancestor_length
tests in t0060 from testing normalization+longest_prefix to testing
only mostly longest_prefix. This is necessary because when
setup_git_directory_gently_1() starts resolving symlinks as part of
its normalization, it will not be reasonable to do the same in the
test suite, because that would make the test results depend on the
contents of the root directory of the filesystem on which the test is
run. HOWEVER: under Windows, bash mangles arguments that look like
absolute POSIX paths into DOS paths. So we have to retain the level
of normalization done by normalize_path_copy() to convert the
bash-mangled DOS paths (which contain backslashes) into paths that use
forward slashes.

Only the first half of the test works only on POSIX, the second half
passes on Windows as well.
A later test "real path removes other extra slashes" looks very similar,
but it does not make sense to split it in the same way: When two slashes
are prepended in front of an absolute DOS-style path on Windows, the
meaning of the path is changed (//server/share style), so that the test
cannot pass on Windows.

The change has two points:
1. Do not strip off a leading slash, because that erroneously turns an
absolute path into a relative path.
2. Do not remove slashes from groups of multiple slashes; instead let
chdir() handle them. It could be, for example, that it wants to
leave leading double-slashes alone.

There is currently a bug: if passed an absolute top-level path that
doesn't exist (e.g., "/foo") it incorrectly interprets the path as a
relative path (e.g., returns "$(pwd)/foo"). So mark the test as
failing.
These tests are skipped on Windows because test-path-utils operates on
a DOS-style absolute path even if a POSIX style absolute path is
passed as argument.

Some platforms like to stick extra whitespace in the output
of "wc -c"; using the result without quotes gets the shell
to collapse the whitespace.

Since the MSYS bash mangles absolute paths that it passes as command line
arguments to non-MSYS progams (such as git or test-path-utils), we have to
bend over backwards to squeeze some usefulness out of the existing tests.
In particular, a set of path normalization tests is added that test
relative paths. Some paths in the ancestor path tests are adjusted to help
MSYS bash's path mangling heuristics.

The function strip_path_suffix() will try to strip a given suffix from
a given path. The suffix must start at a directory boundary (i.e. "core"
is not a path suffix of "libexec/git-core", but "git-core" is).
Arbitrary runs of directory separators ("slashes") are assumed identical.
Example:
strip_path_suffix("C:\\msysgit/\\libexec\\git-core",
"libexec///git-core", &prefix)
will set prefix to "C:\\msysgit" and return 0.

This changes the test-path-utils utility to invoke normalize_path_copy()
instead of normalize_absolute_path() because the latter is about to be
removed.
The test cases in t0060 are adjusted in two regards:
- normalize_path_copy() more often leaves a trailing slash in the result.
This has no negative side effects because the new user of this function,
longest_ancester_length(), already accounts for this behavior.
- The function can fail.
The tests uncover a flaw in normalize_path_copy(): If there are
sufficiently many '..' path components so that the root is reached, such as
in "/d1/s1/../../d2", then the leading slash was lost. This manifested
itself that (assuming there is a repository at /tmp/foo)
$ git add /d1/../tmp/foo/some-file
reported 'pathspec is outside repository'. This is now fixed.
Moreover, the test case descriptions of t0060 now include the test data and
expected outcome.

Make git recognize a new environment variable that prevents it from
chdir'ing up into specified directories when looking for a GIT_DIR.
Useful for avoiding slow network directories.
For example, I use git in an environment where homedirs are automounted
and "ls /home/nonexistent" takes about 9 seconds. Setting
GIT_CEILING_DIRS="/home" allows "git help -a" (for bash completion) and
"git symbolic-ref" (for my shell prompt) to run in a reasonable time.

normalize_absolute_path removes several oddities form absolute paths,
giving nice clean paths like "/dir/sub1/sub2". Also add a test case
for this utility, based on a new test program (in the style of test-sha1).
