Change those tests that assumed that a .git/info directory would be
created for them when writing .git/info/attributes to explicitly
create the directory by setting "TEST_CREATE_REPO_NO_TEMPLATE=1"
before sourcing test-lib.sh, and using the "--template=" argument to
"git clone".
The change here in here in t7814-grep-recurse-submodules.sh would
continue "succeeding" with only the "TEST_CREATE_REPO_NO_TEMPLATE=1"
part of this change. That's because those tests use
"test_expect_failure", so they'd "pass" without this change, as
"test_expect_failure" by design isn't discerning about what failure
conditions it'll accept.
But as we're fixing these sorts of issues across the test suite let's
fix this one too. This issue was spotted with a local merge with
another topic of mine[1], which introduces a stricter alternative to
"test_expect_failure".

As in 7ff24785cb (leak tests: mark some misc tests as passing with
SANITIZE=leak, 2021-10-12) continue marking various miscellaneous
tests as passing when git is compiled with SANITIZE=leak. They'll now
be listed as running under the "GIT_TEST_PASSING_SANITIZE_LEAK=true"
test mode (the "linux-leaks" CI target).

While git doesn't track empty directories, git archive can be tricked
into putting some into archives. One way is to construct an empty tree
object, as t5004 does. While that is supported by the object database,
it can't be represented in the index and thus it's unlikely to occur in
the wild.
Another way is using the literal name of a directory in an exclude
pathspec -- its contents are are excluded, but the directory stub is
included. That's inconsistent: exclude pathspecs containing wildcards
don't leave empty directories in the archive.
Yet another way is have a few levels of nested subdirectories (e.g.
d1/d2/d3/file1) and ignoring the entries at the leaves (e.g. file1).
The directories with the ignored content are ignored as well (e.g. d3),
but their empty parents are included (e.g. d2).
As empty directories are not supported by git, they should also not be
written into archives. If an empty directory is really needed then it
can be tracked and archived by placing an empty .gitignore file in it.
There already is a mechanism in place for suppressing empty directories.
When read_tree_recursive() encounters a directory excluded by a pathspec
then it enters it anyway because it might contain included entries. It
calls the callback function before it is able to decide if the directory
is actually needed. For that reason git archive adds directories to a
queue and writes entries for them only when it encounters the first
child item -- but currently only if pathspecs with wildcards are used.
Queue *all* directories, no matter if there even are pathspecs present.
This prevents git archive from writing entries for empty directories in
all cases.

Prior to v1.8.1.1, with:
git init
echo content >foo &&
mkdir subdir &&
echo content >subdir/bar &&
echo "subdir export-ignore" >.gitattributes
git add . &&
git commit -m one &&
git archive HEAD | tar tf -
the resulting archive would contain only "foo" and ".gitattributes",
not subdir. This was broken with a recent change that intended to
allow "subdir/ export-ignore" to also exclude the directory, but
instead ended up _requiring_ the trailing slash by mistake.
A pattern "subdir" should match any path "subdir", whether it is a
directory or a non-directory. A pattern "subdir/" insists that a
path "subdir" must be a directory for it to match.
This patch adds test not just for this simple case, but also for
deeper cross-directory cases, as well as cases with wildcards.

The manpage of gitattributes says: "The rules how the pattern
matches paths are the same as in .gitignore files" and the gitignore
pattern matching has a pattern ending with / for directory matching.
This rule is specifically relevant for the 'export-ignore' rule used
for git archive.
