The git-config command has always implemented its own file
lookup and parsing order. This was necessary because its
duplicate-entry handling did not match the way git's
internal callbacks worked. Now that this is no longer the
case, we are free to reuse the existing parsing code.
This saves us a few lines of code, but most importantly, it
means that the logic for which files are examined is
contained only in one place and cannot diverge.

If git-config is asked for a single value, it will complain
and exit with an error if it finds multiple instances of
that value. This is unlike the usual internal config
parsing, however, which will generally overwrite previous
values, leaving only the final one. For example:
[set a multivar]
$ git config user.email one@example.com
$ git config --add user.email two@example.com
[use the internal parser to fetch it]
$ git var GIT_AUTHOR_IDENT
Your Name <two@example.com> ...
[use git-config to fetch it]
$ git config user.email
one@example.com
error: More than one value for the key user.email: two@example.com
This overwriting behavior is critical for the regular
parser, which starts with the lowest-priority file (e.g.,
/etc/gitconfig) and proceeds to the highest-priority file
($GIT_DIR/config). Overwriting yields the highest priority
value at the end.
Git-config solves this problem by implementing its own
parsing. It goes from highest to lowest priorty, but does
not proceed to the next file if it has seen a value.
So in practice, this distinction never mattered much,
because it only triggered for values in the same file. And
there was not much point in doing that; the real value is in
overwriting values from lower-priority files.
However, this changed with the implementation of config
include files. Now we might see an include overriding a
value from the parent file, which is a sensible thing to do,
but git-config will flag as a duplication.
This patch drops the duplicate detection for git-config and
switches to a pure-overwrite model (for the single case;
--get-all can still be used if callers want to do something
more fancy).
As is shown by the modifications to the test suite, this is
a user-visible change in behavior. An alternative would be
to just change the include case, but this is much cleaner
for a few reasons:
1. If you change the include case, then to what? If you
just stop parsing includes after getting a value, then
you will get a _different_ answer than the regular
config parser (you'll get the first value instead of
the last value). So you'd want to implement overwrite
semantics anyway.
2. Even though it is a change in behavior for git-config,
it is bringing us in line with what the internal
parsers already do.
3. The file-order reimplementation is the only thing
keeping us from sharing more code with the internal
config parser, which will help keep differences to a
minimum.
Going under the assumption that the primary purpose of
git-config is to behave identically to how git's internal
parsing works, this change can be seen as a bug-fix.

This is a refactor that will allow us to more easily tweak
the behavior for multi-valued variables, and it will
ultimately allow us to remove a lot git-config's custom code
in favor of the regular git_config code.
It does mean we're no longer streaming, and we're storing
more in memory for the --get-all case, but in practice it is
a tiny amount of data, and the results are instantaneous.

The get_value function has a goto label for cleaning up on
errors, but it only cleans up half of what the function
might allocate. Let's also clean up the key and regexp
variables there.
Note that we need to take special care when compiling the
regex fails to clean it up ourselves, since it is in a
half-constructed state (we would want to free it, but not
regfree it).
Similarly, we fix git_config_parse_key to return NULL when
it fails, not a pointer to some already-freed memory.

We check that we can "--get-all" a multi-valued variable,
but we do not actually confirm that the output is sensible.
Doing so reveals that it works fine, but this will help us
ensure we do not have regressions in the next few patches,
which will touch this area.

The t1300 test script is quite old, and does not use our
modern techniques or styles. This patch updates it in the
following ways:
1. Use test_cmp instead of cmp (to make failures easier to
debug).
2. Use test_cmp instead of 'test $(command) = expected'.
This makes failures much easier to debug, and also
makes sure that $(command) exits appropriately.
3. Use test_must_fail (easier to read, and checks more
rigorously for signal death).
4. Write tests with the usual style of:
test_expect_success 'test name' '
test commands &&
...
'
rather than one-liners, or using backslash-continuation.
This is purely a style fixup.
There are still a few command happening outside of
test_expect invocations, but they are all innoccuous system
commands like "cat" and "cp". In an ideal world, each test
would be self sufficient and all commands would happen
inside test_expect, but it is not immediately obvious how
the grouping should work (some of the commands impact the
subsequent tests, and some of them are setting up and
modifying state that many tests depend on). This patch just
picks the low-hanging style fruit, and we can do more fixes
on top later.

When running "git-gui blame" from a subfolder (which means prefix is
non-empty), if we pass a full path as argument, the argument parsing
will fail to recognize the argument as a file name, because prefix is
prepended to the argument.
This patch handles that scenario by adding an additional branch that
checks the file name without using the prefix.

http: fix segfault in handle_curl_result
When we create an http active_request_slot, we can set its
"results" pointer back to local storage. The http code will
fill in the details of how the request went, and we can
access those details even after the slot has been cleaned
up.
Commit 8809703 (http: factor out http error code handling)
switched us from accessing our local results struct directly
to accessing it via the "results" pointer of the slot. That
means we're accessing the slot after it has been marked as
finished, defeating the whole purpose of keeping the results
storage separate.
Most of the time this doesn't matter, as finishing the slot
does not actually clean up the pointer. However, when using
curl's multi interface with the dumb-http revision walker,
we might actually start a new request before handing control
back to the original caller. In that case, we may reuse the
slot, zeroing its results pointer, and leading the original
caller to segfault while looking for its results inside the
slot.
Instead, we need to pass a pointer to our local results
storage to the handle_curl_result function, rather than
relying on the pointer in the slot struct. This matches what
the original code did before the refactoring (which did not
use a separate function, and therefore just accessed the
results struct directly).
