test_ln_s_add: refresh stat info of fake symbolic links
We have a helper function test_ln_s_add that inserts a symbolic link
into the index even if the file system does not support symbolic links.
There is a small flaw in the emulation path: the added entry does not
pick up stat information of the fake symbolic link from the file system,
as a consequence, the index is not exactly the same as for the "regular"
path (where symbolic links are available). To fix this, just call
git update-index again.
This flaw was revealed by the earlier change that tightened
compare_diff_raw(), because a test case in t4008 depends on the
correctly updated index.

The ssh:// syntax was added in 2386d658 (Add first cut at "git
protocol" connect logic., 2005-07-13), it accepted
ssh://user@2001:db8::1/repo.git, which is now legacy.
Over the years the parser was improved to support [] and port numbers,
but the combination of ssh://user@[2001:db8::1]:222/repo.git did
never work.
The only only way to use a user name, a literall IPV6 address and a port
number was ssh://[user@2001:db8::1]:222/repo.git
(Thanks to Christian Taube <lists@hcf.yourweb.de> for reporting this long

New users would use ssh://user@[2001:db8::1]:222/repo.git,

We use the daemon_avoid_alias function to make sure that the
pathname the user gives us is sane. However, after applying
that check, we might then interpolate the path using a
string given by the server admin, but which may contain more
untrusted data from the client. We should be sure to
sanitize this data, as well.
We cannot use daemon_avoid_alias here, as it is more strict
than we need in requiring a leading '/'. At the same time,
we can be much more strict here. We are interpreting a
hostname, which should not contain slashes or excessive runs
of dots, as those things are not allowed in DNS names.
Note that in addition to cleansing the hostname field, we
must check the "canonical hostname" (%CH) as well as the
port (%P), which we take as a raw string. For the canonical
hostname, this comes from an actual DNS lookup on the
accessed IP, which makes it a much less likely vector for
problems. But it does not hurt to sanitize it in the same
way. Unfortunately we cannot test this case easily, as it
would involve a custom hostname lookup.
We do not need to check %IP, as it comes straight from
inet_ntop, so must have a sane form.

git_connect: let user override virtual-host we send to daemon
When we connect to a git-daemon at a given host and port, we
actually send the string "localhost:9418" to the other side,
which allows it to do virtual-hosting lookups. For testing
and debugging, we'd like to be able to send arbitrary
strings, rather than the hostname we actually connected to.
Using "insteadOf" config does not work for this purpose, as
the hostname determination happens at a very low level,
right before we feed the hostname to our lookup routines.
You could use /etc/hosts or similar to get around this, but
we cannot do that portably from our test suite.
Instead, this patch provides an environment variable that
can be used to send an arbitrary string.

1. Determine the current value of HEAD (if any).
2. Create the new commit object.
3. Update HEAD.
Please note that step 2 can take arbitrarily long, because it might
involve the user editing a commit message.
If a second process sneaks in a commit during step 2, then the first
commit process should fail. This is usually done correctly, because
step 3 verifies that HEAD still points at the same commit that it
pointed to during step 1.
However, if there is a race when creating an *orphan* commit, then the
test in step 3 is skipped.
Add tests for proper handling of such races. One of the new tests
