xdiff: clamp function context indices in post-image
After finding a function line for --function-context in the pre-image,
xdl_emit_diff() calculates the equivalent line in the post-image. It
assumes that the lines between changes are the same on both sides. If
the option --ignore-blank-lines was also given then this is not
necessarily true.
Clamp the calculation results for start and end of the function context
to prevent out-of-bounds array accesses.
Note that this _just_ fixes the case where our mismatch sends us off the
beginning of the file. There are likely other cases where our assumption
causes us to go to the wrong line within the file. Nobody has developed
a test case yet, and the ultimate fix is likely more complicated than
this patch. But this at least prevents a segfault in the meantime.
Credit for finding the bug goes to "Liu Wei of Tencent Security Xuanwu
Lab".

C99 'for' loop initial declaration, i.e. 'for (int i = 0; i < n; i++)',
is not allowed in Git's codebase yet, to maintain compatibility with
some older compilers.
Our Travis CI builds used to catch 'for' loop initial declarations,
because the GETTEXT_POISON job has always built Git with the default
'cc', which in Travis CI's previous default Linux image (based on
Ubuntu 14.04 Trusty) is GCC 4.8, and that GCC version errors out on
this construct (not only with DEVELOPER=1, but with our default CFLAGS
as well). Alas, that's not the case anymore, becase after 14.04's EOL
Travis CI's current default Linux image is based on Ubuntu 16.04
Xenial [1] and its default 'cc' is now GCC 5.4, which, just like all
later GCC and Clang versions, simply accepts this construct, even if
we don't explicitly specify '-std=c99'.
Ideally we would adjust our CFLAGS used with DEVELOPER=1 to catch this
undesired construct already when contributors build Git on their own
machines. Unfortunately, however, there seems to be no compiler
option that would catch only this particular construct without choking
on many other things, e.g. while a later compiler with '-std=c90'
and/or '-ansi' does catch this construct, it can't build Git because
of several screenfulls of other errors.
Add the 'linux-gcc-4.8' job to Travis CI, in order to build Git with
GCC 4.8, and thus to timely catch any 'for' loop initial declarations.
To catch those it's sufficient to only build Git with GCC 4.8, so
don't run the test suite in this job, because 'make test' takes rather
long [2], and it's already run five times in other jobs, so we
wouldn't get our time's worth.
[1] The Azure Pipelines builds have been using Ubuntu 16.04 images
from the start, so I belive they never caught 'for' loop initial
declarations.
[2] On Travis CI 'make test' alone would take about 9 minutes in this
new job (without running httpd, Subversion, and P4 tests). For
comparison, starting the job and building Git with GCC 4.8 takes
only about 2 minutes.

clean: show an error message when the path is too long
When `lstat()` failed, `git clean` would abort without an error
message, leaving the user quite puzzled.
In particular on Windows, where the default maximum path length is
quite small (yet there are ways to circumvent that limit in many
cases), it is very important that users be given an indication why
their command failed because of too long paths when it did.
This test case makes sure that a warning is issued that would have
helped the user who reported this issue:
https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/issues/521
Note that we temporarily set `core.longpaths = false` in the regression
test; this ensures forward-compatibility with the `core.longpaths`
feature that has not yet been upstreamed from Git for Windows.

rm: resolving by removal is not a warning-worthy event
When resolving a conflict on a path in favor of removing it, using
"git rm" on it is the standard way to do so. The user however is
greeted with a "needs merge" message during that operation:
The removal by "git rm" does get performed, but an uninitiated user
may find it confusing, "needs merge? so I need to resolve conflict
before being able to remove it???"
The message is coming from "update-index --refresh" that is called
internally to make sure "git rm" knows which paths are clean and
which paths are dirty, in order to prevent removal of paths modified
relative to the index without the "-f" option. We somehow ended up
not squelching this message which seeped through to the UI surface.
Use the same mechanism used by "git commit", "git describe", etc. to
squelch the message.
stash: fix handling removed files with --keep-index
git stash push --keep-index is supposed to keep all changes that have
been added to the index, both in the index and on disk.
Currently this doesn't behave correctly when a file is removed from
the index. Instead of keeping it deleted on disk, --keep-index
currently restores the file.
Fix that behaviour by using 'git checkout' in no-overlay mode which
can faithfully restore the index and working tree. This also
simplifies the code.
Note that this will overwrite untracked files if the untracked file
has the same name as a file that has been deleted in the index.

mingw: support spawning programs containing spaces in their names
On some older Windows versions (e.g. Windows 7), the CreateProcessW()
function does not really support spaces in its first argument,
lpApplicationName. But it supports passing NULL as lpApplicationName,
which makes it figure out the application from the (possibly quoted)
first argument of lpCommandLine.
Let's use that trick (if we are certain that the first argument matches
the executable's path) to support launching programs whose path contains
spaces.
We will abuse the test-fake-ssh.exe helper to verify that this works and
does not regress.

transport-helper: enforce atomic in push_refs_with_push
Teach transport-helper how to notice if skipping a ref during push would
violate atomicity on the client side. We notice that a ref would be
rejected, and choose not to send it, but don't notice that if the client
has asked for --atomic we are violating atomicity if all the other
pushes we are sending would succeed. Asking the server end to uphold
atomicity wouldn't work here as the server doesn't have any idea that we
tried to update a ref that's broken.
The added test-case is a succinct way to reproduce this issue that fails
today. The same steps work fine when we aren't using a transport-helper
to get to the upstream, i.e. when we've added a local repository as a
remote:
