mingw: make isatty() recognize MSYS2's pseudo terminals (/dev/pty*)
MSYS2 emulates pseudo terminals via named pipes, and isatty() returns 0
for such file descriptors. Therefore, some interactive functionality
(such as launching a pager, asking if a failed unlink should be repeated
etc.) doesn't work when run in a terminal emulator that uses MSYS2's
ptys (such as mintty).
However, MSYS2 uses special names for its pty pipes ('msys-*-pty*'),
which allows us to distinguish them from normal piped input / output.
On startup, check if stdin / stdout / stderr are connected to such pipes
using the NtQueryObject API from NTDll.dll. If the names match, adjust
the flags in MSVCRT's ioinfo structure accordingly.

Commit f2f0267 (archive-tar: use xsnprintf for trivial
formatting, 2015-09-24) converted cases of "sprintf" to
"xsnprintf", but accidentally left one as just "snprintf".
This meant that we could silently truncate the resulting
buffer instead of flagging an error.
In practice, this is impossible to achieve, as we are
formatting a ustar checksum, which can be at most 7
characters. But the point of xsnprintf is to document and
check for "should be impossible" conditions; this site was
just accidentally mis-converted during f2f0267.

test_patch_id_file_order shell function uses $name variable to hold
one filename, and calls another shell function calc_patch_id as a
downstream of one pipeline. The called function, however, also uses
the same $name variable. With a shell implementation that runs the
callee in the current shell environment, the caller's $name would
be clobbered by the callee's use of the same variable.
This hasn't been an issue with dash and bash. ksh93 reveals the
breakage in the test script.
Fix it by using a distinct variable name in the callee.

ksh88 eats the backslash and produces a wrong expect file to
compare the actual output with.
Using \\" works this around without breaking other POSIX shells
(which collapse backslash-backslash to a single backslash), and
ksh88 does so, too.
It makes it easier to read, too, because the reason why we are
writing backslash there is *not* because we think dq is special and
want to quote it (if that were the case we would have two more
backslashes on that line). It is simply because we want a single
literal backslash there. Since backslash is treated specially in
unquoted here-document, explicitly doubling it to quote it expresses
our intent better than relying on the character that immediately
comes after it (i.e. '"') not being a special character.

cat-file: default to --buffer when --batch-all-objects is used
Traditionally cat-file's batch-mode does not do any output
buffering. The reason is that a caller may have pipes
connected to its input and output, and would want to use
cat-file interactively, getting output immediately for each
input it sends.
This may involve a lot of small write() calls, which can be
slow. So we introduced --buffer to improve this, but we
can't turn it on by default, as it would break the
interactive case above.
However, when --batch-all-objects is used, we do not read
stdin at all. We generate the output ourselves as quickly as
possible, and then exit. In this case buffering is a strict
win, and it is simply a hassle for the user to have to
remember to specify --buffer.
This patch makes --buffer the default when --batch-all-objects
is used. Specifying "--buffer" manually is still OK, and you
can even override it with "--no-buffer" if you're a
masochist (or debugging).
cat-file: avoid noop calls to sha1_object_info_extended
It is not unreasonable to ask cat-file for a batch-check
format of simply "%(objectname)". At first glance this seems
like a noop (you are generally already feeding the object
names on stdin!), but it has a few uses:
1. With --batch-all-objects, you can generate a listing of
the sha1s present in the repository, without any input.
2. You do not have to feed sha1s; you can feed arbitrary
sha1 expressions and have git resolve them en masse.
3. You can even feed a raw sha1, with the result that git
will tell you whether we actually have the object or
not.
In case 3, the call to sha1_object_info is useful; it tells
us whether the object exists or not (technically we could
swap this out for has_sha1_file, but the cost is roughly the
same).
In case 2, the existence check is of debatable value. A
mass-resolution might prefer performance to safety (against
outputting a value for a corrupted ref, for example).
However, the object lookup cost is likely not as noticeable
compared to the resolution cost. And since we have provided
that safety in the past, the conservative choice is to keep
it.
In case 1, though, the object lookup is a definite noop; we
know about the object because we found it in the object
database. There is no new information gained by making the
call.
This patch detects that case and optimizes out the call.
Here are best-of-five timings for linux.git:
[before]
$ time git cat-file --buffer \
--batch-all-objects \
--batch-check='%(objectname)'
real 0m2.117s
user 0m2.044s
sys 0m0.072s
[after]
$ time git cat-file --buffer \
--batch-all-objects \
--batch-check='%(objectname)'
real 0m1.230s
user 0m1.176s
sys 0m0.052s
There are two implementation details to note here.
One is that we detect the noop case by seeing that "struct
object_info" does not request any information. But besides
object existence, there is one other piece of information
which sha1_object_info may fill in: whether the object is
cached, loose, or packed. We don't currently provide that
information in the output, but if we were to do so later,
we'd need to take note and disable the optimization in that
case.
And that leads to the second note. If we were to output
that information, a better implementation would be to
remember where we saw the object in --batch-all-objects in
the first place, and avoid looking it up again by sha1.
In fact, we could probably squeeze out some extra
performance for less-trivial cases, too, by remembering the
pack location where we saw the object, and going directly
there to find its information (like type, size, etc). That
would in theory make this optimization unnecessary.
I didn't pursue that path here for two reasons:
1. It's non-trivial to implement, and has memory
implications. Because we sort and de-dup the list of
output sha1s, we'd have to record the pack information
for each object, too.
2. It doesn't save as much as you might hope. It saves the
find_pack_entry() call, but getting the size and type
for deltified objects requires walking down the delta
chain (for the real type) or reading the delta data
header (for the size). These costs tend to dominate the
non-trivial cases.
By contrast, this optimization is easy and self-contained,
and speeds up a real-world case I've used.

t1500: avoid setting environment variables outside of tests
Ideally, each test should be responsible for setting up state it needs
rather than relying upon transient global state. Toward this end, teach
test_rev_parse() to accept a "-g <dir>" option to allow callers to
specify the value of the GIT_DIR environment variable explicitly. Take
advantage of this new option to avoid polluting the global scope with
GIT_DIR assignments.
Implementation note: Typically, tests avoid polluting the global state
by wrapping transient environment variable assignments within a
subshell, however, this technique doesn't work here since test_config()
and test_unconfig() need to know GIT_DIR, as well, but neither function
can be used within a subshell. Consequently, GIT_DIR is instead cleared
manually via test_when_finished().

Under the hood, "-b <value>" invokes "test_config -C <dir>" (or
"test_unconfig -C <dir>"), thus git-config knows explicitly where to
find its configuration file. Consequently, the global GIT_CONFIG
environment variable required by the manual git-config invocations
outside of tests is no longer needed, and is thus dropped.

Implementation note: test_rev_parse() passes "-C <dir>" along to
git-rev-parse with <dir> properly quoted. The natural and POSIX way to
do so is via ${dir:+-C "$dir"}, however, with some older broken shells,
this expression evaluates incorrectly to a single argument ("-C <dir>")
rather than the expected two (-C and "<dir>"). Work around this problem
with the slightly ungainly expression: ${dir:+-C} ${dir:+"$dir"}
