"git pull" had various corner cases that were not well thought out
around its --rebase backend, e.g. "git pull --ff-only" did not stop
but went ahead and rebased when the history on other side is not a
descendant of our history. The series tries to fix them up.

9af0b8dbe2 (t0000-basic: more commit-tree tests., 2006-04-26) adds
tests for commit-tree that mask the return exit from git as described
in a378fee5b0 (Documentation: add shell guidelines, 2018-10-05).
Fix the tests, to avoid pipes by using a temporary file instead.

b8ba412bf7 (tree-diff: avoid alloca for large allocations, 2016-06-07)
adds a way to route some bigger allocations out of the stack and free
them through the addition of two conveniently named macros, but leaves
the calls to free the xalloca part, which could be also in the heap,
if the system doesn't HAVE_ALLOCA_H (ex: macOS and other BSD).
Add the missing free call, xalloca_free(), which is a noop if we
allocated memory in the stack frame, but a real free() if we
allocated in the heap instead, and while at it, change the expression
to match in both macros for ease of readability.
This avoids a leak reported by LSAN while running t0000 but that
wouldn't fail the test (which is fixed in the next patch):
SUMMARY: LeakSanitizer: 1034 byte(s) leaked in 15 allocation(s).

While 'git version' is probably the least complex git command,
it is a non-experimental user-facing builtin command. As such
it should have a help page.
Both `git help` and `git version` can be called as options
(`--help`/`--version`) that internally get converted to the
corresponding command. Add a small paragraph to
Documentation/git.txt describing how these two options
interact with each other and link to this help page for the
sub-options that `--version` can take. Well, currently there
is only one sub-option, but that could potentially increase
in future versions of Git.

The t5562 script occasionally takes 60 extra seconds to complete due to
a race condition in the invoke-with-content-length.pl helper.
The way it's supposed to work is this:
- we set up a SIGCLD handler
- we kick off http-backend and write to it with a set content-length,
but _don't_ close the pipe
- we sleep for 60 seconds, assuming that SIGCLD from http-backend
finishing will interrupt us
- after the sleep finishes (whetherby 60 seconds or because it was
interrupted by the signal), we check a flag to see if our SIGCLD
handler was called. If not, then we complain.
This usually completes immediately, because the signal interrupts our
sleep. But very occasionally the child process dies _before_ we hit the
sleep, so we don't realize it. The test still completes successfully
(because our $exited flag is set), but it takes an extra 60 seconds.
There's no way to check the flag and sleep atomically. So the best we
can do with this approach is to sleep in smaller chunks (say, 1 second)
and check the flag incrementally. Then we waste a maximum of 1 second if
we lose the race. This was proposed in:
https://lore.kernel.org/git/20190218205028.32486-1-max@max630.net/
and it does work. But we can do better.
Instead of blocking on sleep and waiting for the child signal to
interrupt us, we can block on the child exiting and set an alarm signal
to trigger the timeout.
This lets us exit the script immediately when the child behaves (with no
race possible), and wait a maximum of 60 seconds when it doesn't.
Note one small subtlety: perl is very willing to restart the waitpid()
call after the alarm is delivered, even if we've thrown an exception via
die. "perldoc -f alarm" claims you can get around this with an eval/die
combo (and even has some example code), but it doesn't seem to work for
me with waitpid(); instead, we continue waiting until the child exits.
So instead, we'll instruct the child process to exit in the alarm
handler itself. In the original code this was done by calling
close($out). That would continue to work, since our child is always
http-backend, which should exit when its stdin closes. But we can be
even more robust against a hung or confused child by sending a KILL
signal, which should terminate it immediately.
