When using cruft packs, the following race can occur when a geometric
repack that writes a MIDX bitmap takes place afterwords:
- First, create an unreachable object and do an all-into-one cruft
repack which stores that object in the repository's cruft pack.
- Then make that object reachable.
- Finally, do a geometric repack and write a MIDX bitmap.
Assuming that we are sufficiently unlucky as to select a commit from the
MIDX which reaches that object for bitmapping, then the `git
multi-pack-index` process will complain that that object is missing.
The reason is because we don't include cruft packs in the MIDX when
doing a geometric repack. Since the "make that object reachable" doesn't
necessarily mean that we'll create a new copy of that object in one of
the packs that will get rolled up as part of a geometric repack, it's
possible that the MIDX won't see any copies of that now-reachable
object.
Of course, it's desirable to avoid including cruft packs in the MIDX
because it causes the MIDX to store a bunch of objects which are likely
to get thrown away. But excluding that pack does open us up to the above
race.
This patch demonstrates the bug, and resolves it by including cruft
packs in the MIDX even when doing a geometric repack.

We use the `util` pointer for items in the `existing_packs` string list
to indicate which packs are going to be deleted. Since that has so far
been the only use of that `util` pointer, we just set it to 0 or 1.
But we're going to add an additional state to this field in the next
patch, so prepare for that by adding a #define for the first bit so we
can more expressively inspect the flags state.

In a previous patch, pack-objects learned how to generate a cruft pack
so long as no objects are dropped.
This patch teaches pack-objects to handle the case where a non-never
`--cruft-expiration` value is passed. This case is slightly more
complicated than before, because we want pack-objects to save
unreachable objects which would have been pruned when there is another
recent (i.e., non-prunable) unreachable object which reaches the other.
We'll call these objects "unreachable but reachable-from-recent".
Here is how pack-objects handles `--cruft-expiration`:
- Instead of adding all objects outside of the kept pack(s) into the
packing list, only handle the ones whose mtime is within the grace
period.
- Construct a reachability traversal whose tips are the
unreachable-but-recent objects.
- Then, walk along that traversal, stopping if we reach an object in
the kept pack. At each step along the traversal, we add the object
we are visiting to the packing list.
In the majority of these cases, any object we visit in this traversal
will already be in our packing list. But we will sometimes encounter
reachable-from-recent cruft objects, which we want to retain even if
they aged out of the grace period.
The most subtle point of this process is that we actually don't need to
bother to update the rescued object's mtime. Even though we will write
an .mtimes file with a value that is older than the expiration window,
it will continue to survive cruft repacks so long as any objects which
reach it haven't aged out.
That is, a future repack will also exclude that object from the initial
packing list, only to discover it later on when doing the reachability
traversal.
Finally, stopping early once an object is found in a kept pack is safe
to do because the kept packs ordinarily represent which packs will
survive after repacking. Assuming that it _isn't_ safe to halt a
traversal early would mean that there is some ancestor object which is
missing, which implies repository corruption (i.e., the complete set of
reachable objects isn't present).

This function behaves very similarly to what we will need in
pack-objects in order to implement cruft packs with expiration. But it
is lacking a couple of things. Namely, it needs:
- a mechanism to communicate the timestamps of individual recent
objects to some external caller
- and, in the case of packed objects, our future caller will also want
to know the originating pack, as well as the offset within that pack
at which the object can be found
- finally, it needs a way to skip over packs which are marked as kept
in-core.
To address the first two, add a callback interface in this patch which
reports the time of each recent object, as well as a (packed_git,
off_t) pair for packed objects.
Likewise, add a new option to the packed object iterators to skip over
packs which are marked as kept in core. This option will become
implicitly tested in a future patch.

Teach `pack-objects` how to generate a cruft pack when no objects are
dropped (i.e., `--cruft-expiration=never`). Later patches will teach
`pack-objects` how to generate a cruft pack that prunes objects.
When generating a cruft pack which does not prune objects, we want to
collect all unreachable objects into a single pack (noting and updating
their mtimes as we accumulate them). Ordinary use will pass the result
of a `git repack -A` as a kept pack, so when this patch says "kept
pack", readers should think "reachable objects".
Generating a non-expiring cruft packs works as follows:
- Callers provide a list of every pack they know about, and indicate
which packs are about to be removed.
- All packs which are going to be removed (we'll call these the
redundant ones) are marked as kept in-core.
Any packs the caller did not mention (but are known to the
`pack-objects` process) are also marked as kept in-core. Packs not
mentioned by the caller are assumed to be unknown to them, i.e.,
they entered the repository after the caller decided which packs
should be kept and which should be discarded.
Since we do not want to include objects in these "unknown" packs
(because we don't know which of their objects are or aren't
reachable), these are also marked as kept in-core.
- Then, we enumerate all objects in the repository, and add them to
our packing list if they do not appear in an in-core kept pack.
This results in a new cruft pack which contains all known objects that
aren't included in the kept packs. When the kept pack is the result of
`git repack -A`, the resulting pack contains all unreachable objects.

This structure will be used to communicate the per-object mtimes when
writing a cruft pack. Here, we need the full packing_data structure
because the mtime information is stored in an array there, not on the
individual object_entry's themselves (to avoid paying the overhead in
structure width for operations which do not generate a cruft pack).
We haven't passed this information down before because one of the two
callers (in bulk-checkin.c) does not have a packing_data structure at
all. In that case (where no cruft pack will be generated), NULL is
passed instead.

To store the individual mtimes of objects in a cruft pack, introduce a
new `.mtimes` format that can optionally accompany a single pack in the
repository.
The format is defined in Documentation/technical/pack-format.txt, and
stores a 4-byte network order timestamp for each object in name (index)
order.
This patch prepares for cruft packs by defining the `.mtimes` format,
and introducing a basic API that callers can use to read out individual
mtimes.

Narrowly fixing that commit would have been easy, just add call
repo_init_revisions() right before get_object_list(), which is
effectively what was done before that commit.
But an unstated constraint when setting it up early is that it was
needed for the subsequent [2] (pack-objects: parse --filter directly
into revs.filter, 2022-03-22), i.e. we might have a --filter
command-line option, and need to either have the "struct rev_info"
setup when we encounter that option, or later.
Let's just change the control flow so that we'll instead set up the
"struct rev_info" only when we need it. Doing so leads to a bit more
verbosity, but it's a lot clearer what we're doing and why.
An earlier version of this commit[3] went behind
opt_parse_list_objects_filter()'s back by faking up a "struct option"
before calling it. Let's avoid that and instead create a blessed API
for this pattern.
We could furthermore combine the two get_object_list() invocations
here by having repo_init_revisions() invoked on &pfd.revs, but I think
clearly separating the two makes the flow clearer. Likewise
redundantly but explicitly (i.e. redundant v.s. a "{ 0 }") "0" to
"have_revs" early in cmd_pack_objects().
While we're at it add parentheses around the arguments to the OPT_*
macros in in list-objects-filter-options.h, as we need to change those
lines anyway. It doesn't matter in this case, but is good general
practice.

Teach fsmonitor--daemon client threads to create a cookie file
inside the .git directory and then wait until FS events for the
cookie are observed by the FS listener thread.
This helps address the racy nature of file system events by
blocking the client response until the kernel has drained any
event backlog.
This is especially important on MacOS where kernel events are
only issued with a limited frequency. See the `latency` argument
of `FSeventStreamCreate()`. The kernel only signals every `latency`
seconds, but does not guarantee that the kernel queue is completely
drained, so we may have to wait more than one interval. If we
increase the latency, the system is more likely to drop events.
We avoid these issues by having each client thread create a unique
cookie file and then wait until it is seen in the event stream.

Teach fsmonitor--daemon to periodically truncate the list of
modified files to save some memory.
Clients will ask for the set of changes relative to a token that they
found in the FSMN index extension in the index. (This token is like a
point in time, but different). Clients will then update the index to
contain the response token (so that subsequent commands will be
relative to this new token).
Therefore, the daemon can gradually truncate the in-memory list of
changed paths as they become obsolete (older than the previous token).
Since we may have multiple clients making concurrent requests with a
skew of tokens and clients may be racing to the talk to the daemon,
we lazily truncate the list.
We introduce a 5 minute delay and truncate batches 5 minutes after
they are considered obsolete.

Teach fsmonitor--daemon to build a list of changed paths and associate
them with a token-id. This will be used by the platform-specific
backends to accumulate changed paths in response to filesystem events.
The platform-specific file system listener thread receives file system
events containing one or more changed pathnames (with whatever
bucketing or grouping that is convenient for the file system). These
paths are accumulated (without locking) by the file system layer into
a `fsmonitor_batch`.
When the file system layer has drained the kernel event queue, it will
"publish" them to our token queue and make them visible to concurrent
client worker threads. The token layer is free to combine and/or de-dup
paths within these batches for efficient presentation to clients.

Teach fsmonitor--daemon to classify relative and absolute
pathnames and decide how they should be handled. This will
be used by the platform-specific backend to respond to each
filesystem event.
When we register for filesystem notifications on a directory,
we get events for everything (recursively) in the directory.
We want to report to clients changes to tracked and untracked
paths within the working directory proper. We do not want to
report changes within the .git directory, for example.
This classification will be used in a later commit by the
different backends to classify paths as events are received.

Implement 'git fsmonitor--daemon start' command. This command starts
an instance of 'git fsmonitor--daemon run' in the background using
the new 'start_bg_command()' function.
We avoid the fork-and-call technique on Unix systems in favor of a
fork-and-exec technique. This gives us more uniform Trace2 child-*
events. It also makes our usage more consistent with Windows usage.
On Windows, teach 'git fsmonitor--daemon run' to optionally call
'FreeConsole()' to release handles to the inherited Win32 console
(despite being passed invalid handles for stdin/out/err). Without
this, command prompts and powershell terminal windows could hang
in "exit" until the last background child process exited or released
their Win32 console handle. (This was not seen with git-bash shells
because they don't have a Win32 console attached to them.)

Implement `run` command to try to begin listening for file system events.
This version defines the thread structure with a single fsmonitor_fs_listen
thread to watch for file system events and a simple IPC thread pool to
watch for connection from Git clients over a well-known named pipe or
Unix domain socket.
This commit does not actually do anything yet because the platform
backends are still just stubs.

Implement `stop` and `status` client commands to control and query the
status of a `fsmonitor--daemon` server process (and implicitly start a
server process if necessary).
Later commits will implement the actual server and monitor the file
system.

Create a built-in file system monitoring daemon that can be used by
the existing `fsmonitor` feature (protocol API and index extension)
to improve the performance of various Git commands, such as `status`.
The `fsmonitor--daemon` feature builds upon the `Simple IPC` API and
provides an alternative to hook access to existing fsmonitors such
as `watchman`.
This commit merely adds the new command without any functionality.

Move fsmonitor config settings to a new and opaque
`struct fsmonitor_settings` structure. Add a lazily-loaded pointer
to this into `struct repo_settings`
Create an `enum fsmonitor_mode` type in `struct fsmonitor_settings` to
represent the state of fsmonitor. This lets us represent which, if
any, fsmonitor provider (hook or IPC) is enabled.
Create `fsm_settings__get_*()` getters to lazily look up fsmonitor-
related config settings.
Get rid of the `core_fsmonitor` global variable. Move the code to
lookup the existing `core.fsmonitor` config value into the fsmonitor
settings.
Create a hook pathname variable in `struct fsmonitor-settings` and
only set it when in hook mode.
Extend the definition of `core.fsmonitor` to be either a boolean
or a hook pathname. When true, the builtin FSMonitor is used.
When false or unset, no FSMonitor (neither builtin nor hook) is
used.
The existing `core_fsmonitor` global variable was used to store the
pathname to the fsmonitor hook *and* it was used as a boolean to see
if fsmonitor was enabled. This dual usage and global visibility leads
to confusion when we add the IPC-based provider. So lets hide the
details in fsmonitor-settings.c and let it decide which provider to
use in the case of multiple settings. This avoids cluttering up
repo-settings.c with these private details.
A future commit in builtin-fsmonitor series will add the ability to
disqualify worktrees for various reasons, such as being mounted from a
remote volume, where fsmonitor should not be started. Having the
config settings hidden in fsmonitor-settings.c allows such worktree
restrictions to override the config values used.

In the short help output from "git reset -h", the recently added
"--[no-]refresh" option is shown like so:
--refresh skip refreshing the index after reset
which explains what happens when the option is given in the negative
form, i.e. "--no-refresh". We could rephrase the explanation to
read "refresh the index after reset (default)" to hint that the user
can say "--no-refresh" to override the default, but listing the
"--no-refresh" form in the list of options would be more helpful.
