attr: convert git_check_attrs() callers to use the new API
The remaining callers are all simple "I have N attributes I am
interested in. I'll ask about them with various paths one by one".
After this step, no caller to git_check_attrs() remains. After
removing it, we can extend "struct attr_check" struct with data
that can be used in optimizing the query for the specific N
attributes it contains.

attr: convert git_all_attrs() to use "struct attr_check"
This updates the other two ways the attribute check is done via an
array of "struct attr_check_item" elements. These two niches
appear only in "git check-attr".
* The caller does not know offhand what attributes it wants to ask
about and cannot use attr_check_initl() to prepare the
attr_check structure.
* The caller may not know what attributes it wants to ask at all,
and instead wants to learn everything that the given path has.
Such a caller can call attr_check_alloc() to allocate an empty
attr_check, and then call attr_check_append() to add attribute names
one by one.

attr: (re)introduce git_check_attr() and struct attr_check
A common pattern to check N attributes for many paths is to
(1) prepare an array A of N attr_check_item items;
(2) call git_attr() to intern the N attribute names and fill A;
(3) repeatedly call git_check_attrs() for path with N and A;
A look-up for these N attributes for a single path P scans the
entire attr_stack, starting from the .git/info/attributes file and
then .gitattributes file in the directory the path P is in, going
upwards to find .gitattributes file found in parent directories.
An earlier commit 06a604e6 (attr: avoid heavy work when we know the
specified attr is not defined, 2014-12-28) tried to optimize out
this scanning for one trivial special case: when the attribute being
sought is known not to exist, we do not have to scan for it. While
this may be a cheap and effective heuristic, it would not work well
when N is (much) more than 1.
What we would want is a more customized way to skip irrelevant
entries in the attribute stack, and the definition of irrelevance
is tied to the set of attributes passed to git_check_attrs() call,
i.e. the set of attributes being sought. The data necessary for
this optimization needs to live alongside the set of attributes, but
a simple array of git_attr_check_elem simply does not have any place
for that.
Introduce "struct attr_check" that contains N, the number of
attributes being sought, and A, the array that holds N
attr_check_item items, and a function git_check_attr() that
takes a path P and this structure as its parameters. This structure
can later be extended to hold extra data necessary for optimization.
Also, to make it easier to write the first two steps in common
cases, introduce git_attr_check_initl() helper function, which takes
a NULL-terminated list of attribute names and initialize this
structure.

attr: rename function and struct related to checking attributes
The traditional API to check attributes is to prepare an N-element
array of "struct git_attr_check" and pass N and the array to the
function "git_check_attr()" as arguments.
In preparation to revamp the API to pass a single structure, in
which these N elements are held, rename the type used for these
individual array elements to "struct attr_check_item" and rename
the function to "git_check_attrs()".

When a patch inserts a block of lines, whose last lines are the
same as the existing lines that appear before the inserted block,
"git diff" can choose any place between these existing lines as the
boundary between the pre-context and the added lines (adjusting the
end of the inserted block as appropriate) to come up with variants
of the same patch, and some variants are easier to read than others.
We have been trying to improve the choice of this boundary, and Git
2.11 shipped with an experimental "compaction-heuristic". Since
then another attempt to improve the logic further resulted in a new
"indent-heuristic" logic. It is agreed that the latter gives better
result overall, and the former outlived its usefulness.
Retire "compaction", and keep "indent" as an experimental feature.
The latter hopefully will be turned on by default in a future
release, but that should be done as a separate step.

mingw: fix colourization on Cygwin pseudo terminals
Git only colours the output and uses pagination if isatty() returns 1.
MSYS2 and Cygwin emulate pseudo terminals via named pipes, meaning that
isatty() returns 0.
f7f90e0f4f (mingw: make isatty() recognize MSYS2's pseudo terminals
(/dev/pty*), 2016-04-27) fixed this for MSYS2 terminals, but not for
Cygwin.
The named pipes that Cygwin and MSYS2 use are very similar. MSYS2 PTY pipes
are called 'msys-*-pty*' and Cygwin uses 'cygwin-*-pty*'. This commit
modifies the existing check to allow both MSYS2 and Cygwin PTY pipes to be
identified as TTYs.
Note that pagination is still broken when running Git for Windows from
within Cygwin, as MSYS2's less.exe is spawned (and does not like to
interact with Cygwin's PTY).

When determining whether a handle corresponds to a *real* Win32 Console
(as opposed to, say, a character device such as /dev/null), we use the
GetConsoleOutputBufferInfo() function as a tell-tale.
However, that does not work for *input* handles associated with a
console. Let's just use the GetConsoleMode() function for input handles,
and since it does not work on output handles fall back to the previous
method for those.
This patch prepares for using is_console() instead of my previous
misguided attempt in cbb3f3c9b1 (mingw: intercept isatty() to handle

fast-import: properly fanout notes when tree is imported
In typical uses of fast-import, trees are inherited from a parent
commit. In that case, the tree_entry for the branch looks like:
.versions[1].sha1 = $some_sha1
.tree = <tree structure loaded from $some_sha1>
However, when trees are imported, rather than inherited, that is not the
case. One can import a tree with a filemodify command, replacing the
root tree object.
e.g.
"M 040000 $some_sha1 \n"
In this case, the tree_entry for the branch looks like:
.versions[1].sha1 = $some_sha1
.tree = NULL
When adding new notes with the notemodify command, do_change_note_fanout
is called to get a notes count, and to do so, it loops over the
tree_entry->tree, but doesn't do anything when the tree is NULL.
In the latter case above, it means do_change_note_fanout thinks the tree
contains no notes, and new notes are added with no fanout.
Interestingly, do_change_note_fanout does check whether subdirectories
have a NULL .tree, in which case it uses load_tree(). Which means the
right behaviour happens when using the filemodify command to import
subdirectories.
This change makes do_change_note_fanount call load_tree() whenever the
tree_entry it is given has no tree loaded, making all cases handled
equally.

Since 6b4b013f18 (mailinfo: handle in-body header continuations,
2016-09-20, v2.11.0) mailinfo.c has contained new code with an
assert of the form:
assert(call_a_function(...))
The function in question, check_header, has side effects. This
means that when NDEBUG is defined during a release build the
function call is omitted entirely, the side effects do not
take place and tests (fortunately) start failing.
Since the only time that mi->inbody_header_accum is appended to is
in check_inbody_header, and appending onto a blank
mi->inbody_header_accum always happens when is_inbody_header is
true, this guarantees a prefix that causes check_header to always
return true.
Therefore replace the assert with an if !check_header + DIE
combination to reflect this.
