When we stuff config options into GIT_CONFIG_PARAMETERS, we shell-quote
each one as a single unit, like:
'section.one=value1' 'section.two=value2'
On the reading side, we de-quote to get the individual strings, and then
parse them by splitting on the first "=" we find. This format is
ambiguous, because an "=" may appear in a subsection. So the config
represented in a file by both:
[section "subsection=with=equals"]
key = value
and:
[section]
subsection = with=equals.key=value
ends up in this flattened format like:
'section.subsection=with=equals.key=value'
and we can't tell which was desired. We have traditionally resolved this
by taking the first "=" we see starting from the left, meaning that we
allowed arbitrary content in the value, but not in the subsection.
Let's make our environment format a bit more robust by separately
quoting the key and value. That turns those examples into:
'section.subsection=with=equals.key'='value'
and:
'section.subsection'='with=equals.key=value'
respectively, and we can tell the difference between them. We can detect
which format is in use for any given element of the list based on the
presence of the unquoted "=". That means we can continue to allow the
old format to work to support any callers which manually used the old
format, and we can even intermingle the two formats. The old format
wasn't documented, and nobody was supposed to be using it. But it's
likely that such callers exist in the wild, so it's nice if we can avoid
breaking them. Likewise, it may be possible to trigger an older version
of "git -c" that runs a script that calls into a newer version of "git
-c"; that new version would see the intermingled format.
This does create one complication, which is that the obvious format in
the new scheme for
[section]
some-bool
is:
'section.some-bool'
with no equals. We'd mistake that for an old-style variable. And it even
has the same meaning in the old style, but:
[section "with=equals"]
some-bool
does not. It would be:
'section.with=equals=some-bool'
which we'd take to mean:
[section]
with = equals=some-bool
in the old, ambiguous style. Likewise, we can't use:
'section.some-bool'=''
because that's ambiguous with an actual empty string. Instead, we'll
again use the shell-quoting to give us a hint, and use:
'section.some-bool'=
to show that we have no value.
Note that this commit just expands the reading side. We'll start writing
the new format via "git -c" in a future patch. In the meantime, the
existing "git -c" tests will make sure we didn't break reading the old
format. But we'll also add some explicit coverage of the two formats to
make sure we continue to handle the old one after we move the writing
side over.
And one final note: since we're now using the shell-quoting as a
semantically meaningful hint, this closes the door to us ever allowing
arbitrary shell quoting, like:
'a'shell'would'be'ok'with'this'.key=value
But we have never supported that (only what sq_quote() would produce),
and we are probably better off keeping things simple, robust, and
backwards-compatible, than trying to make it easier for humans. We'll
continue not to advertise the format of the variable to users, and
instead keep "git -c" as the recommended mechanism for setting config
(even if we are trying to be kind not to break users who may be relying
on the current undocumented format).

The function `git_config_parse_parameter` is responsible for parsing a
`foo.bar=baz`-formatted configuration key, sanitizing the key and then
processing it via the given callback function. Given that we're about to
add a second user which is going to process keys which already has keys
and values separated, this commit extracts a function
`config_parse_pair` which only does the sanitization and processing
part as a preparatory step.

We provide a function for dequoting an entire string, as well as one for
handling a space-separated list of quoted strings. But there's no way
for a caller to parse a string like 'foo'='bar', even though it is easy
to generate one using sq_quote_buf() or similar.
Let's make the single-step function available to callers outside of
quote.c. Note that we do need to adjust its implementation slightly: it
insists on seeing whitespace between items, and we'd like to be more
flexible than that. Since it only has a single caller, we can move that
check (and slurping up any extra whitespace) into that caller.

While it's already possible to pass runtime configuration via `git -c
<key>=<value>`, it may be undesirable to use when the value contains
sensitive information. E.g. if one wants to set `http.extraHeader` to
contain an authentication token, doing so via `-c` would trivially leak
those credentials via e.g. ps(1), which typically also shows command
arguments.
To enable this usecase without leaking credentials, this commit
introduces a new switch `--config-env=<key>=<envvar>`. Instead of
directly passing a value for the given key, it instead allows the user
to specify the name of an environment variable. The value of that
variable will then be used as value of the key.

When the `--super-prefix` option was implmented in 74866d7579 (git: make
super-prefix option, 2016-10-07), its existence was only documented in
the manpage but not in the command's own usage string. Given that the
commit message didn't mention that this was done intentionally and given
that it's documented in the manpage, this seems like an oversight.

In 83bbf9b92e (mergetool--lib: improve support for vimdiff-style tool
variants, 2020-07-29), we introduced a `list_tool_variants` function
in the spirit of Postel's Law: be lenient in what you accept as input.
In this particular instance, we wanted to allow not only `bc` but also
`bc3` as name for the Beyond Compare tool.
However, what this patch overlooked is that it is totally allowed for
users to override the defaults in `mergetools/`. But now that we strip
off trailing digits, the name that the user gave the tool might not
actually be in the list produced by `list_tool_variants`.
So let's do the same as for the `diff_cmd` and the `merge_cmd`: override
it with the trivial version in case a user-defined setup was detected.

As of 83bbf9b92e (mergetool--lib: improve support for vimdiff-style
tool variants, 2020-07-29), we already list `bc` and `bc3` as aliases
for that mergetool/difftool.
However, the current Beyond Compare version is _4_, therefore the `bc4`
alias is missing from that list.
Most notably, this is the root cause of the breakage reported in
https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/issues/2893 where a
well-configured `bc4` difftool stopped working as of v2.29.0:
`setup_tool` would notice that after stripping off the trailing digit,
it finds a match in `mergetools/` (the `bc` file), source it, and then
the alias would not match the list offered by the `list_tool_variants`
function, and simply exit without doing anything, but pretending
success.

By default, we do not use a mempool and strdup_strings is true; in this
case, we can avoid both an extra allocation and an extra free by just
over-allocating for the strmap_entry leaving enough space at the end to
copy the key. FLEXPTR_ALLOC_STR exists for exactly this purpose, so
make use of it.
Also, adjust the case when we are using a memory pool and strdup_strings
is true to just do one allocation from the memory pool instead of two so
that the strmap_clear() and strmap_remove() code can just avoid freeing
the key in all cases.
