Create a new unified tracing facility for git. The eventual intent is to
replace the current trace_printf* and trace_performance* routines with a
unified set of git_trace2* routines.
In addition to the usual printf-style API, trace2 provides higer-level
event verbs with fixed-fields allowing structured data to be written.
This makes post-processing and analysis easier for external tools.
Trace2 defines 3 output targets. These are set using the environment
variables "GIT_TR2", "GIT_TR2_PERF", and "GIT_TR2_EVENT". These may be
set to "1" or to an absolute pathname (just like the current GIT_TRACE).
* GIT_TR2 is intended to be a replacement for GIT_TRACE and logs command
summary data.
* GIT_TR2_PERF is intended as a replacement for GIT_TRACE_PERFORMANCE.
It extends the output with columns for the command process, thread,
repo, absolute and relative elapsed times. It reports events for
child process start/stop, thread start/stop, and per-thread function
nesting.
* GIT_TR2_EVENT is a new structured format. It writes event data as a
series of JSON records.
Calls to trace2 functions log to any of the 3 output targets enabled
without the need to call different trace_printf* or trace_performance*
routines.

merge-options.txt: correct wording of --no-commit option
The former wording implied that --no-commit would always cause the
merge operation to "pause" and allow the user to make further changes
and/or provide a special commit message for the merge commit. This
is not the case for fast-forward merges, as there is no merge commit
to create. Without a merge commit, there is no place where it makes
sense to "stop the merge and allow the user to tweak changes"; doing
that would require a full rebase of some sort.
Since users may be unaware of whether their branches have diverged or
not, modify the wording to correctly address fast-forward cases as well
and suggest using --no-ff with --no-commit if the point is to ensure
that the merge stops before completing.

The resolve_ref_unsafe() function can, and sometimes will in the case
of this codepath, return the char * passed to it to the caller. In
this case we construct a strbuf, free it, and then continue using the
dst_name after that free().
The code being fixed dates back to da3efdb17b ("receive-pack: detect
aliased updates which can occur with symrefs", 2010-04-19). When it
was originally added it didn't have this bug, it was introduced when
it was subsequently modified to use strbuf in 6b01ecfe22 ("ref
namespaces: Support remote repositories via upload-pack and
receive-pack", 2011-07-08).
This is theoretically a security issue, the C standard makes no
guarantees that a value you use after free() hasn't been poked at or
changed by something else on the system, but in practice modern OSs
will have mapped the relevant page to this process, so nothing else
would have used it. We do no further allocations between the free()
and use-after-free, so we ourselves didn't corrupt or change the
value.
Jeff investigated that and found: "It probably would be an issue if
the allocation were larger. glibc at least will use mmap()/munmap()
after some cutoff[1], in which case we'd get a segfault from hitting
the unmapped page. But for small allocations, it just bumps brk() and
the memory is still available for further allocations after
free(). [...] If you had a sufficiently large refname you might be
able to trigger the bug [...]. I tried to push such a ref. I had to
manually make a packed-refs file with the long name to avoid
filesystem limits (though probably you could have a long a/b/c/ name
on ext4). But the result can't actually be pushed, because it all has
to fit into a 64k pkt-line as part of the push protocol.".
An a alternative and more succinct way of implementing this would have
been to do the strbuf_release() at the end of check_aliased_update()
and use "goto out" instead of the early "return" statements. Hopefully
this approach of using a helper instead makes it easier to follow.
1. Jeff: "Weirdly, the mmap() cutoff on my glibc system is 135168
bytes. Which is...2^17 + 2^12? 33 pages? I'm sure there's a good
reason for that, but I didn't dig into it."

tests: teach the test-tool to generate NUL bytes and use it
In cc95bc2025 (t5562: replace /dev/zero with a pipe from
generate_zero_bytes, 2019-02-09), we replaced usage of /dev/zero (which
is not available on NonStop, apparently) by a Perl script snippet to
generate NUL bytes.
Sadly, it does not seem to work on NonStop, as t5562 reportedly hangs.
Worse, this also hangs in the Ubuntu 16.04 agents of the CI builds on
Azure Pipelines: for some reason, the Perl script snippet that is run
via `generate_zero_bytes` in t5562's 'CONTENT_LENGTH overflow ssite_t'
test case tries to write out an infinite amount of NUL bytes unless a
broken pipe is encountered, that snippet never encounters the broken
pipe, and keeps going until the build times out.
Oddly enough, this does not reproduce on the Windows and macOS agents,
nor in a local Ubuntu 18.04.
This developer tried for a day to figure out the exact circumstances
under which this hang happens, to no avail, the details remain a
mystery.
In the end, though, what counts is that this here change incidentally
fixes that hang (maybe also on NonStop?). Even more positively, it gets
rid of yet another unnecessary Perl invocation.

returning EOF probably would be even safer than providing some
meaningless data.
Replace /dev/zero with /dev/null to avoid issues with platforms which do
not have /dev/zero.

mingw: safe-guard a bit more against getenv() problems
Running up to v2.21.0, we fixed two bugs that were made prominent by the
Windows-specific change to retain copies of only the 30 latest getenv()
calls' returned strings, invalidating any copies of previous getenv()
calls' return values.
While this really shines a light onto bugs of the form where we hold
onto getenv()'s return values without copying them, it is also a real
problem for users.
And even if Jeff King's patches merged via 773e408881 (Merge branch
'jk/save-getenv-result', 2019-01-29) provide further work on that front,
we are far from done. Just one example: on Windows, we unset environment
variables when spawning new processes, which potentially invalidates
strings that were previously obtained via getenv(), and therefore we
have to duplicate environment values that are somehow involved in
spawning new processes (e.g. GIT_MAN_VIEWER in show_man_page()).
We do not have a chance to investigate, let address, all of those issues
in time for v2.21.0, so let's at least help Windows users by increasing
the number of getenv() calls' return values that are kept valid. The
number 64 was determined by looking at the average number of getenv()
calls per process in the entire test suite run on Windows (which is
around 40) and then adding a bit for good measure. And it is a power of
two (which would have hit yesterday's theme perfectly).

Many of our grab_* functions, which parse the object content, take a
buf/sz pair of the object bytes. However, the functions which actually
parse the buffers (like find_wholine() and find_subpos()) never look at
"sz", and instead use functions like strchr() and strchrnul() that
assume the result is NUL-terminated.
This is OK in practice (and common for Git's parsing code), since we
always allocate an extra NUL when loading an object into memory (and
likewise, we are OK with stopping parsing if a commit or tag contains an
embedded NUL).
Let's drop these extra "sz" parameters, as they are misleading about how
the functions intend to access the buffer. We can drop from both the
functions mentioned above, which in turn lets us drop from their
callers, cascading all the way up to the top-level grab_values().

index, we fall back to generating an array of pointers by calling
oe_map_new_pack().
Perhaps counter-intuitively, that function does not need to actually see
our new index-less pack. It only allocates and populates the array with
the existing packs, after which oe_set_in_pack() actually adds the new
pack to the array.

The git-prune command checks reachability by doing a traversal, and then
checking whether a given object exists in the global object hash. This
can yield false positives if any other part of the code had to create an
object struct for some reason. It's not clear whether this is even
possible, but it's more robust to rely on something a little more
concrete: the SEEN flag set by our traversal.
Note that there is a slight possibility of regression here, as we're
relying on mark_reachable_objects() to consistently set the flag.
However, it has always done so, and we're already relying on that fact
in prune_shallow(), which is called as part of git-prune. So this is
making these two parts of the prune operation more consistent.

Pruning generally has to traverse the whole commit graph in order to
see which objects are reachable. This is the exact problem that
reachability bitmaps were meant to solve, so let's use them (if they're
available, of course).
Here are timings on git.git:
Test HEAD^ HEAD
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5304.6: prune with bitmaps 3.65(3.56+0.09) 1.01(0.92+0.08) -72.3%
And on linux.git:
Test HEAD^ HEAD
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
5304.6: prune with bitmaps 35.05(34.79+0.23) 3.00(2.78+0.21) -91.4%
The tests show a pretty optimal case, as we'll have just repacked and
should have pretty good coverage of all refs with our bitmaps. But
that's actually pretty realistic: normally prune is run via "gc" right
after repacking.
A few notes on the implementation:
- the change is actually in reachable.c, so it would improve
reachability traversals by "reflog expire --stale-fix", as well.
Those aren't performed regularly, though (a normal "git gc" doesn't
use --stale-fix), so they're not really worth measuring. There's a
low chance of regressing that caller, since the use of bitmaps is
totally transparent from the caller's perspective.
- The bitmap case could actually get away without creating a "struct
object", and instead the caller could just look up each object id in
the bitmap result. However, this would be a marginal improvement in
runtime, and it would make the callers much more complicated. They'd
have to handle both the bitmap and non-bitmap cases separately, and
in the case of git-prune, we'd also have to tweak prune_shallow(),
which relies on our SEEN flags.
- Because we do create real object structs, we go through a few
contortions to create ones of the right type. This isn't strictly
necessary (lookup_unknown_object() would suffice), but it's more
memory efficient to use the correct types, since we already know
them.

The general strategy of "git prune" is to do a full reachability walk,
then for each loose object see if we found it in our walk. But if we
don't have any loose objects, we don't need to do the expensive walk in
the first place.
This patch postpones that walk until the first time we need to see its
results.
Note that this is really a specific case of a more general optimization,
which is that we could traverse only far enough to find the object under
consideration (i.e., stop the traversal when we find it, then pick up
again when asked about the next object, etc). That could save us in some
instances from having to do a full walk. But it's actually a bit tricky
to do with our traversal code, and you'd need to do a full walk anyway
if you have even a single unreachable object (which you generally do, if
any objects are actually left after running git-repack).
So in practice this lazy-load of the full walk catches one easy but
common case (i.e., you've just repacked via git-gc, and there's nothing
unreachable).
The perf script is fairly contrived, but it does show off the
improvement:
Test HEAD^ HEAD
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
5304.4: prune with no objects 3.66(3.60+0.05) 0.00(0.00+0.00) -100.0%
and would let us know if we accidentally regress this optimization.
Note also that we need to take special care with prune_shallow(), which
relies on us having performed the traversal. So this optimization can
only kick in for a non-shallow repository. Since this is easy to get
wrong and is not covered by existing tests, let's add an extra test to
t5304 that covers this case explicitly.
