doc: clarify syntax for %C(auto,...) in pretty formats
The manual correctly describes the syntax with `auto,` but the
trailing `,` is hard to spot in a terminal. The HTML format does not
have this problem. Adding an example helps both worlds.

When a remote server uses git-shell, the client side will
connect to it like:
ssh server "git-upload-pack 'foo.git'"
and we literally exec ("git-upload-pack", "foo.git"). In
early versions of upload-pack and receive-pack, we took a
repository argument and nothing else. But over time they
learned to accept dashed options. If the user passes a
repository name that starts with a dash, the results are
confusing at best (we complain of a bogus option instead of
a non-existent repository) and malicious at worst (the user
can start an interactive pager via "--help").
We could pass "--" to the sub-process to make sure the
user's argument is interpreted as a branch name. I.e.:
git-upload-pack -- -foo.git
But adding "--" automatically would make us inconsistent
with a normal shell (i.e., when git-shell is not in use),
where "-foo.git" would still be an error. For that case, the
client would have to specify the "--", but they can't do so
reliably, as existing versions of git-shell do not allow
more than a single argument.
The simplest thing is to simply disallow "-" at the start of
the repo name argument. This hasn't worked either with or
without git-shell since version 1.0.0, and nobody has
complained.
Note that this patch just applies to do_generic_cmd(), which
runs upload-pack, receive-pack, and upload-archive. There
are two other types of commands that git-shell runs:
- do_cvs_cmd(), but this already restricts the argument to
be the literal string "server"
- admin-provided commands in the git-shell-commands
directory. We'll pass along arbitrary arguments there,
so these commands could have similar problems. But these
commands might actually understand dashed arguments, so
we cannot just block them here. It's up to the writer of
the commands to make sure they are safe. With great
power comes great responsibility.

Jan Palus noticed that some here-doc are spelled incorrectly,
resulting the entire remainder of the test snippet being slurped
into the "expect" file as if it were data, e.g. in this sequence
the last command of the test is "cat" that sends everything to
'expect' and succeeds.
Fixing these issues in t7004 and t7030 reveals that "git tag -v"
and "git verify-tag" with their --format option do not work as the
test was expecting originally. Instead of showing both valid tags
and tags with incorrect signatures on their output, tags that do not
pass verification are omitted from the output. Another breakage that
is uncovered is that these tests must be restricted to environment
where gpg is available.
Arguably, that is a safer behaviour, and because the format
specifiers like %(tag) do not have a way to show if the signature
verifies correctly, the command with the --format option cannot be
used to get a list of tags annotated with their signature validity
anyway.
For now, let's fix the here-doc syntax, update the expectation to
match the reality, and update the test prerequisite.
Maybe later when we extend the --format language available to "git
tag -v" and "git verify-tag" to include things like "%(gpg:status)",
we may want to change the behaviour so that piping a list of tag
names into
becomes a good way to produce such a list, but that is a separate
topic.

sucked into the here-doc, which is why the test succeeded.
* The variable $submodulesha1 was not expanded as it was inside a quoted
here text. We do not want to quote EOF marker for this.
* The redirection from the git command to the output file for comparison
was wrong as the -C operator from git doesn't apply to the redirect path.

push: mention "push.default=tracking" in the documentation

The "tracking" option was renamed to "upstream" back in 53c4031 ("push.default: Rename 'tracking' to 'upstream'", 2011-02-16),
this section was then subsequently rewritten in 87a70e4 ("config doc:
rewrite push.default section", 2013-06-19) to remove any mention of
"tracking".
Maybe we should just warn or die nowadays if this option is in the
config, but I had some old config of mine use this option, I'd
forgotten that it was a synonym, and nothing in git's documentation
mentioned that.
That's bad, either we shouldn't support it at all, or we should
document what it does. This patch does the latter.

pickaxe: fix segfault with '-S<...> --pickaxe-regex'
'git {log,diff,...} -S<...> --pickaxe-regex' can segfault as a result
of out-of-bounds memory reads.
diffcore-pickaxe.c:contains() looks for all matches of the given regex
in a buffer in a loop, advancing the buffer pointer to the end of the
last match in each iteration. When we switched to REG_STARTEND in b7d36ffca (regex: use regexec_buf(), 2016-09-21), we started passing
the size of that buffer to the regexp engine, too. Unfortunately,
this buffer size is never updated on subsequent iterations, and as the
buffer pointer advances on each iteration, this "bufptr+bufsize"
points past the end of the buffer. This results in segmentation
fault, if that memory can't be accessed. In case of 'git log' it can
also result in erroneously listed commits, if the memory past the end
of buffer is accessible and happens to contain data matching the
regex.
Reduce the buffer size on each iteration as the buffer pointer is
advanced, thus maintaining the correct end of buffer location.
Furthermore, make sure that the buffer pointer is not dereferenced in
the control flow statements when we already reached the end of the
buffer.
The new test is flaky, I've never seen it fail on my Linux box even
without the fix, but this is expected according to db5dfa3 (regex:
-G<pattern> feeds a non NUL-terminated string to regexec() and fails,
2016-09-21). However, it did fail on Travis CI with the first (and
incomplete) version of the fix, and based on that commit message I
would expect the new test without the fix to fail most of the time on
Windows.

run-command: fix segfault when cleaning forked async process
Callers of the run-command API may mark a child as
"clean_on_exit"; it gets added to a list and killed when the
main process dies. Since commit 46df6906f
(execv_dashed_external: wait for child on signal death,
2017-01-06), we respect an extra "wait_after_clean" flag,
which we expect to find in the child_process struct.
When Git is built with NO_PTHREADS, we start "struct
async" processes by forking rather than spawning a thread.
The resulting processes get added to the cleanup list but
they don't have a child_process struct, and the cleanup
function ends up dereferencing NULL.
We should notice this case and assume that the processes do
not need to be waited for (i.e., the same behavior they had
before 46df6906f).

tests: make the 'test_pause' helper work in non-verbose mode
When the 'test_pause' helper function invokes the shell mid-test, it
explicitly redirects the shell's stdout and stderr to file descriptors
3 and 4, which are the stdout and stderr of the tests (i.e. where they
would be connected anyway without those redirections). These file
descriptors are only attached to the terminal in verbose mode, hence
the restriction of 'test_pause' to work only with '-v'.
Redirect the shell's stdout and stderr to the test environment's
original stdout and stderr, allowing it to work properly even in
non-verbose mode, and the restriction can be lifted.

tests: create an interactive gdb session with the 'debug' helper
The 'debug' test helper is supposed to facilitate debugging by running
a command of the test suite under gdb. Unfortunately, its usefulness
is severely limited, because that gdb session is not interactive,
since the test's, and thus gdb's standard input is redirected from
/dev/null (for a good reason, see 781f76b15 (test-lib: redirect stdin
of tests, 2011-12-15)).
Redirect gdb's standard file descriptors from/to the test
environment's stdin, stdout and stderr in the 'debug' helper, thus
creating an interactive gdb session (even in non-verbose mode), which
is much, much more useful.
