If the original version of `write_locked_index()` returned with an
error, it didn't roll back the lockfile unless the error occured at the
very end, during closing/committing. See commit 03b866477 (read-cache:
new API write_locked_index instead of write_index/write_cache,
2014-06-13).
In commit 9f41c7a6b (read-cache: close index.lock in do_write_index,
2017-04-26), we learned to close the lock slightly earlier in the
callstack. That was mostly a side-effect of lockfiles being implemented
using temporary files, but didn't cause any real harm.
Recently, commit 076aa2cbd (tempfile: auto-allocate tempfiles on heap,
2017-09-05) introduced a subtle bug. If the temporary file is deleted
(i.e., the lockfile is rolled back), the tempfile-pointer in the `struct
lock_file` will be left dangling. Thus, an attempt to reuse the
lockfile, or even just to roll it back, will induce undefined behavior
-- most likely a crash.
Besides not crashing, we clearly want to make things consistent. The
guarantees which the lockfile-machinery itself provides is A) if we ask
to commit and it fails, roll back, and B) if we ask to close and it
fails, do _not_ roll back. Let's do the same for consistency.
Do not delete the temporary file in `do_write_index()`. One of its
callers, `write_locked_index()` will thereby avoid rolling back the
lock. The other caller, `write_shared_index()`, will delete its
temporary file anyway. Both of these callers will avoid undefined
behavior (crashing).
Teach `write_locked_index(..., COMMIT_LOCK)` to roll back the lock
before returning. If we have already succeeded and committed, it will be
a noop. Simplify the existing callers where we now have a superfluous
call to `rollback_lockfile()`. That should keep future readers from
wondering why the callers are inconsistent.

When using the hashmap a common need is to have access to caller provided
data in the compare function. A couple of times we abuse the keydata field
to pass in the data needed. This happens for example in patch-ids.c.
This patch changes the function signature of the compare function
to have one more void pointer available. The pointer given for each
invocation of the compare function must be defined in the init function
of the hashmap and is just passed through.
Documentation of this new feature is deferred to a later patch.
This is a rather mechanical conversion, just adding the new pass-through
parameter. However while at it improve the naming of the fields of all
compare functions used by hashmaps by ensuring unused parameters are
prefixed with 'unused_' and naming the parameters what they are (instead
of 'unused' make it 'unused_keydata').

Fix configuration codepath to pay proper attention to commondir
that is used in multi-worktree situation, and isolate config API
into its own header file.
* bw/config-h:
config: don't implicitly use gitdir or commondir
config: respect commondir
setup: teach discover_git_directory to respect the commondir
config: don't include config.h by default
config: remove git_config_iter
config: create config.h
Stop including config.h by default in cache.h. Instead only include
config.h in those files which require use of the config system.

The left and right base directories were pointed to the buf field of
two strbufs, which were subject to change.
A contrived test case shows the problem where a file with a long enough
name to force the strbuf to grow is up-to-date (hence the code path is
used where the work tree's version of the file is reused), and then a
file that is not up-to-date needs to be written (hence the code path is
used where checkout_entry() uses the previously recorded base_dir that
is invalid by now).
Let's just copy the base_dir strings for use with checkout_entry(),
never touch them until the end, and release them then. This is an easily
verifiable fix (as opposed to the next-obvious alternative: to re-set
base_dir after every loop iteration).

In order to checkout files, difftool reads "diff --raw"
output and feeds the names to checkout_entry(). That
function requires us to have a "struct cache_entry". And
because that struct uses a FLEX_ARRAY for the name field, we
have to actually copy in our new name.
The current code allocates a single re-usable cache_entry
that can hold a name up to PATH_MAX, and then copies
filenames into it using strcpy(). But there's no guarantee
that incoming names are smaller than PATH_MAX. They've come
from "diff --raw" output which might be diffing between two
trees (and hence we'd be subject to the PATH_MAX of some
other system, or even none at all if they were created
directly via "update-index").
We can fix this by using make_cache_entry() to create a
correctly-sized cache_entry for each name. This incurs an
extra allocation per file, but this is negligible compared
to actually writing out the file contents.
To make this simpler, we can push this procedure into a new
helper function. Note that we can also get rid of the "len"
variables for src_path and dst_path (and in fact we must, as
the compiler complains that they are unused).

Previously, a null symlink object ID would crash difftool.

Building with "gcc -Wall" will complain that the format in:
warning("")
is empty. Which is true, but the warning is over-eager. We
are calling the function for its side effect of printing
"warning:", even with an empty string.
Our DEVELOPER Makefile knob disables the warning, but not
everybody uses it. Let's silence the warning in the code so
that nobody reports it or tries to "fix" it.

This patch gives life to the skeleton added in the previous patch.
The motivation for converting the difftool is that Perl scripts are not at
all native on Windows, and that `git difftool` therefore is pretty slow on
that platform, when there is no good reason for it to be slow.
In addition, Perl does not really have access to Git's internals. That
means that any script will always have to jump through unnecessary
hoops, and it will often need to perform unnecessary work (e.g. when
reading the entire config every time `git config` is called to query a
single config value).
The current version of the builtin difftool does not, however, make full
use of the internals but instead chooses to spawn a couple of Git
processes, still, to make for an easier conversion. There remains a lot
of room for improvement, left later.
Note: to play it safe, the original difftool is still called unless the
config setting difftool.useBuiltin is set to true.
The reason: this new, experimental, builtin difftool was shipped as part
of Git for Windows v2.11.0, to allow for easier large-scale testing, but
of course as an opt-in feature.
The speedup is actually more noticable on Linux than on Windows: a quick
test shows that t7800-difftool.sh runs in (2.183s/0.052s/0.108s)
(real/user/sys) in a Linux VM, down from (6.529s/3.112s/0.644s), while on
Windows, it is (36.064s/2.730s/7.194s), down from (47.637s/2.407s/6.863s).
The culprit is most likely the overhead incurred from *still* having to
shell out to mergetool-lib.sh and difftool--helper.sh.
Still, it is an improvement.

This adds a builtin difftool that still falls back to the legacy Perl
version, which has been renamed to `legacy-difftool`.
The idea is that the new, experimental, builtin difftool immediately hands
off to the legacy difftool for now, unless the config variable
difftool.useBuiltin is set to true.
This feature flag will be used in the upcoming Git for Windows v2.11.0
release, to allow early testers to opt-in to use the builtin difftool and
flesh out any bugs.
