Currently `git_config()` uses a callback mechanism and file rereads for
config values. Due to this approach, it is not uncommon for the config
files to be parsed several times during the run of a git program, with
different callbacks picking out different variables useful to themselves.
Add a `config_set`, that can be used to construct an in-memory cache for
config-like files that the caller specifies (i.e., files like `.gitmodules`,
`~/.gitconfig` etc.). Add two external functions `git_configset_get_value`
and `git_configset_get_value_multi` for querying from the config sets.
`git_configset_get_value` follows `last one wins` semantic (i.e. if there
are multiple matches for the queried key in the files of the configset the
value returned will be the last entry in `value_list`).
`git_configset_get_value_multi` returns a list of values sorted in order of
increasing priority (i.e. last match will be at the end of the list). Add
type specific query functions like `git_configset_get_bool` and similar.
Add a default `config_set`, `the_config_set` to cache all key-value pairs
read from usual config files (repo specific .git/config, user wide
~/.gitconfig, XDG config and the global /etc/gitconfig). `the_config_set`
is populated using `git_config()`.
Add two external functions `git_config_get_value` and
`git_config_get_value_multi` for querying in a non-callback manner from
`the_config_set`. Also, add type specific query functions that are
implemented as a thin wrapper around the `config_set` API.

When we see the core.commentchar config option, we extract
the string with git_config_string, which does two things:
1. It complains via config_error_nonbool if there is no
string value.
2. It makes a copy of the string.
Since we immediately parse the string into its
single-character value, we only care about (1). And in fact
(2) is a detriment, as it means we leak the copy. Instead,
let's just check the pointer value ourselves, and parse
directly from the const string we already have.

The skip_prefix() function returns a pointer to the content
past the prefix, or NULL if the prefix was not found. While
this is nice and simple, in practice it makes it hard to use
for two reasons:
1. When you want to conditionally skip or keep the string
as-is, you have to introduce a temporary variable.
For example:
tmp = skip_prefix(buf, "foo");
if (tmp)
buf = tmp;
2. It is verbose to check the outcome in a conditional, as
you need extra parentheses to silence compiler
warnings. For example:
if ((cp = skip_prefix(buf, "foo"))
/* do something with cp */
Both of these make it harder to use for long if-chains, and
we tend to use starts_with() instead. However, the first line
of "do something" is often to then skip forward in buf past
the prefix, either using a magic constant or with an extra
strlen(3) (which is generally computed at compile time, but
means we are repeating ourselves).
This patch refactors skip_prefix() to return a simple boolean,
and to provide the pointer value as an out-parameter. If the
prefix is not found, the out-parameter is untouched. This
lets you write:
if (skip_prefix(arg, "foo ", &arg))
do_foo(arg);
else if (skip_prefix(arg, "bar ", &arg))
do_bar(arg);

This makes config's lowercase() function obsolete, though

We could continue to offer a pure-string lowercase, but

When we see a relative config include like:

we make it relative to the containing directory of the file
that contains the snippet. This makes no sense for config
read from a blob, as it is not on the filesystem. Something
like "HEAD:some/path" could have a relative path within the
tree, but:
1. It would not be part of include.path, which explicitly
refers to the filesystem.
2. It would need different parsing rules anyway to
determine that it is a tree path.
The current code just uses the "name" field, which is wrong.

"git config" did not provide a way to set or access numbers larger
than a native "int" on the platform; it now provides 64-bit signed
integers on all platforms.
* jk/config-int-range-check:
git-config: always treat --int as 64-bit internally
config: make numeric parsing errors more clear
config: set errno in numeric git_parse_* functions
config: properly range-check integer values
config: factor out integer parsing from range checks
When you run "git config --int", the maximum size of integer
you get depends on how git was compiled, and what it
considers to be an "int".
This is almost useful, because your scripts calling "git
config" will behave similarly to git internally. But relying
on this is dubious; you have to actually know how git treats
each value internally (e.g., int versus unsigned long),
which is not documented and is subject to change. And even
if you know it is "unsigned long", we do not have a
git-config option to match that behavior.
Furthermore, you may simply be asking git to store a value
on your behalf (e.g., configuration for a hook). In that
case, the relevant range check has nothing at all to do with
git, but rather with whatever scripting tools you are using
(and git has no way of knowing what the appropriate range is
there).
Not only is the range check useless, but it is actively
harmful, as there is no way at all for scripts to look
at config variables with large values. For instance, one
cannot reliably get the value of pack.packSizeLimit via
git-config. On an LP64 system, git happily uses a 64-bit
"unsigned long" internally to represent the value, but the
script cannot read any value over 2G.
Ideally, the "--int" option would simply represent an
arbitrarily large integer. For practical purposes, however,
a 64-bit integer is large enough, and is much easier to
implement (and if somebody overflows it, we will still
notice the problem, and not simply return garbage).

If we try to parse an integer config argument and get a
number outside of the representable range, we die with the
cryptic message: "bad config value for '%s'".
We can improve two things:
1. Show the value that produced the error (e.g., bad
config value '3g' for 'foo.bar').
2. Mention the reason the value was rejected (e.g.,
"invalid unit" versus "out of range").
A few tests need to be updated with the new output, but that
should not be representative of real-world breakage, as
scripts should not be depending on the exact text of our
stderr output, which is subject to i18n anyway.

When we are parsing an integer or unsigned long, we use
the strto*max functions, which properly set errno to ERANGE
if we get a large value. However, we also do further range
checks after applying our multiplication factor, but do not
set ERANGE. This means that a caller cannot tell if an error
was caused by ERANGE or if the input was simply not a valid
number.
This patch teaches git_parse_signed and git_parse_unsigned to set
ERANGE for range errors, and EINVAL for other errors, so that the
caller can reliably tell these cases apart.

When we look at a config value as an integer using the
git_config_int function, we carefully range-check the value
we get and complain if it is out of our range. But the range
we compare to is that of a "long", which we then cast to an
"int" in the function's return value. This means that on
systems where "int" and "long" have different sizes (e.g.,
LP64 systems), we may pass the range check, but then return
nonsense by truncating the value as we cast it to an int.
We can solve this by converting git_parse_long into
git_parse_int, and range-checking the "int" range. Nobody
actually cared that we used a "long" internally, since the
result was truncated anyway. And the only other caller of
git_parse_long is git_config_maybe_bool, which should be
fine to just use int (though we will now forbid out-of-range
nonsense like setting "merge.ff" to "10g" to mean "true",
which is probably a good thing).

When we are parsing integers for config, we use an intmax_t

maximum representable value, which will let us re-use the
parsing code for a variety of range checks.
Unfortunately, we cannot combine the signed and unsigned
parsing functions easily, as we have to rely on the signed

According to C99, section 7.1.4:
Any function declared in a header may be additionally
implemented as a function-like macro defined in the
header.
Therefore calling our struct member function pointer "fgetc"
may run afoul of unwanted macro expansion when we call:
char c = cf->fgetc(cf);
This turned out to be a problem on uclibc, which defines
fgetc as a macro and causes compilation failure.
The standard suggests fixing this in a few ways:
1. Using extra parentheses to inhibit the function-like
macro expansion. E.g., "(cf->fgetc)(cf)". This is
undesirable as it's ugly, and each call site needs to
remember to use it (and on systems without the macro,
forgetting will compile just fine).
2. Using #undef (because a conforming implementation must
also be providing fgetc as a function). This is
undesirable because presumably the implementation was
using the macro for a performance benefit, and we are
dropping that optimization.
Instead, we can simply use non-colliding names.
