When name-rev needs to format an actual name, we do so into
a fixed-size buffer. That includes the actual ref tip, as
well as any traversal information. Since refs can exceed
1024 bytes, this means you can get a bogus result. E.g.,
doing:
git tag $(perl -e 'print join("/", 1..1024)')
git describe --contains HEAD^
results in ".../282/283", when it should be
".../1023/1024~1".
We can solve this by using a heap buffer. We'll use a
strbuf, which lets us write into the same buffer from our
loop without having to reallocate.

We generate a reflog message that contains some fixed text
plus a branch name, and use a buffer of size PATH_MAX + 20.
This mostly works if you assume that refnames are shorter
than PATH_MAX, but:
1. That's not necessarily true. PATH_MAX is not always the
filesystem's limit.
2. The "20" is not sufficiently large for the fixed text
anyway.
Let's just switch to a heap buffer so we don't have to even
care.

In create_branch() we write the reflog msg into a buffer in
the main function, but then use it only inside a
conditional. If you carefully follow the logic, you can
confirm that we never use the buffer uninitialized nor write
when it would not be used. But we can make this a lot more
obvious by simply moving the write step inside the
conditional.

Like the previous commit, we'd like to avoid the assumption
that refs fit into PATH_MAX-sized buffers. These callsites
have an extra twist, though: they write the refnames using
mksnpath. This does two things beyond a regular snprintf:
1. It quietly writes "/bad-path/" when truncation occurs.
This saves the caller having to check the error code,
but if you aren't actually feeding the result to a
system call (and we aren't here), it's questionable.
2. It calls cleanup_path(), which removes leading
instances of "./". That's questionable when dealing
with refnames, as we could silently canonicalize a
syntactically bogus refname into a valid one.
Let's convert each case to use a strbuf. This is preferable
to xstrfmt() because we can reuse the same buffer as we
loop.

Many functions which handle refs use a PATH_MAX-sized buffer
to do so. This is mostly reasonable as we have to write
loose refs into the filesystem, and at least on Linux the 4K
PATH_MAX is big enough that nobody would care. But:
1. The static PATH_MAX is not always the filesystem limit.
2. On other platforms, PATH_MAX may be much smaller.
3. As we move to alternate ref storage, we won't be bound
by filesystem limits.
Let's convert these to heap buffers so we don't have to
worry about truncation or size limits.
We may want to eventually constrain ref lengths for sanity
and to prevent malicious names, but we should do so
consistently across all platforms, and in a central place
(like the ref code).

Part of the reflog content comes from the environment, which
can be much larger than our fixed buffer. Let's use a heap
buffer so we avoid truncating it.

We format the tag header into a fixed 1024-byte buffer. But
since the tag-name and tagger ident can be arbitrarily
large, we may unceremoniously die with "tag header too big".
Let's just use a strbuf instead.
Note that it looks at first glance like we can just format
this directly into the "buf" strbuf where it will ultimately
go. But that buffer may already contain the tag message, and
we have no easy way to prepend formatted data to a strbuf
(we can only splice in an already-generated buffer). This
isn't a performance-critical path, so going through an extra
buffer isn't a big deal.

To generate a patch id, we format the diff header into a
fixed-size buffer, and then feed the result to our sha1
computation. The fixed buffer has size '4*PATH_MAX + 20',
which in theory accommodates the four filenames plus some
extra data. Except:
1. The filenames may not be constrained to PATH_MAX. The
static value may not be a real limit on the current
filesystem. Moreover, we may compute patch-ids for
names stored only in git, without touching the current
filesystem at all.
2. The 20 bytes is not nearly enough to cover the
extra content we put in the buffer.
As a result, the data we feed to the sha1 computation may be
truncated, and it's possible that a commit with a very long
filename could erroneously collide in the patch-id space
with another commit. For instance, if one commit modified
"really-long-filename/foo" and another modified "bar" in the
same directory.
In practice this is unlikely. Because the filenames are
repeated, and because there's a single cutoff at the end of
the buffer, the offending filename would have to be on the
order of four times larger than PATH_MAX.
We could fix this by moving to a strbuf. However, we can
observe that the purpose of formatting this in the first
place is to feed it to git_SHA1_Update(). So instead, let's
just feed each part of the formatted string directly. This
actually ends up more readable, and we can even factor out
some duplicated bits from the various conditional branches.
Technically this may change the output of patch-id for very
long filenames, but it's not worth making an exception for
this in the --stable output. It was a bug, and one that only
affected an unlikely set of paths. And anyway, the exact
value would have varied from platform to platform depending
on the value of PATH_MAX, so there is no "stable" value.

Since git_path_buf() is smart enough to replace "objects/"
with the correct object path, we can use it instead of
manually assembling the path. That's slightly shorter, and
will clean up any non-canonical bits in the path.

The odb_mkstemp() function expects the caller to provide a
fixed buffer to write the resulting tempfile name into. But
it creates the template using snprintf without checking the
return value. This means we could silently truncate the
filename.
In practice, it's unlikely that the truncation would end in
the template-pattern that mkstemp needs to open the file. So
we'd probably end up failing either way, unless the path was
specially crafted.
The simplest fix would be to notice the truncation and die.
However, we can observe that most callers immediately
xstrdup() the result anyway. So instead, let's switch to
using a strbuf, which is easier for them (and isn't a big
deal for the other 2 callers, who can just strbuf_release
when they're done with it).
Note that many of the callers used static buffers, but this
was purely to avoid putting a large buffer on the stack. We
never passed the static buffers out of the function, so
there's no complicated memory handling we need to change.

The odb_mkstemp function does not return an error; it dies
on failure instead. But many of its callers compare the
resulting descriptor against -1 and die themselves.
Mostly this is just pointless, but it does raise a question
when looking at the callers: if they show the results of the
"template" buffer after a failure, what's in it? The answer
is: it doesn't matter, because it cannot happen.
So let's make that clear by removing the bogus error checks.
In bitmap_writer_finish(), we can drop the error-handling
code entirely. In the other two cases, it's shared with the
open() in another code path; we can just move the
error-check next to that open() call.
And while we're at it, let's flesh out the function's
docstring a bit to make the error behavior clear.

sha1dc/sha1.c wanted to check the endianness of the target platform
at compilation time and used a CPP macro with a rather overly
generic name, "BIGENDIAN", to pass the result of the check around
in the file. It wasn't prepared for the same macro set to 0
(false) by the platform to signal that the target is _not_ a big
endian box, and assumed that the endianness detection logic it has
alone would be the one that is setting the macro, resulting in a
breakage on Windows. This has been fixed by using a bit less
generic name for the same purpose.
