Jeff King 320fa579ec tempfile: update comment describing state transitions
Back when 1a9d15db25 (tempfile: a new module for handling temporary
files, 2015-08-10) added this comment, tempfile structs were held in
memory for the life of a process, and there were various guarantees
about which fields were valid in which states.

Since 422a21c6a0 (tempfile: remove deactivated list entries, 2017-09-05)
and 076aa2cbda (tempfile: auto-allocate tempfiles on heap, 2017-09-05),
the flow is quite different: objects come and go from the list, and
inactive ones are deallocated. And the previous commit removed the
"active" flag from the struct entirely.

Let's bring the comment up to date with the current code.

/*
* State diagram and cleanup
* -------------------------
*
* If the program exits while a temporary file is active, we want to
* make sure that we remove it. This is done by remembering the active
* temporary files in a linked list, `tempfile_list`. An `atexit(3)`
* handler and a signal handler are registered, to clean up any active
* temporary files.
*
* Because the signal handler can run at any time, `tempfile_list` and
* the `tempfile` objects that comprise it must be kept in
* self-consistent states at all times.
*
* The possible states of a `tempfile` object are as follows:
*
* - Inactive/unallocated. The only way to get a tempfile is via a creation
* function like create_tempfile(). Once allocated, the tempfile is on the
* global tempfile_list and considered active.
*
* - Active, file open (after `create_tempfile()` or
* `reopen_tempfile()`). In this state:
*
* - the temporary file exists
* - `filename` holds the filename of the temporary file
* - `fd` holds a file descriptor open for writing to it
* - `fp` holds a pointer to an open `FILE` object if and only if
* `fdopen_tempfile()` has been called on the object
* - `owner` holds the PID of the process that created the file
*
* - Active, file closed (after `close_tempfile_gently()`). Same
* as the previous state, except that the temporary file is closed,
* `fd` is -1, and `fp` is `NULL`.
*
* - Inactive (after `delete_tempfile()`, `rename_tempfile()`, or a
* failed attempt to create a temporary file). The struct is removed from
* the global tempfile_list and deallocated.
*
* A temporary file is owned by the process that created it. The
* `tempfile` has an `owner` field that records the owner's PID. This
* field is used to prevent a forked process from deleting a temporary
* file created by its parent.
