When git is passed the --paginate option, starting up a pager requires
deciding what pager to start, which requires access to the core.pager
configuration.
At the relevant moment, the repository has not been searched for yet.
Attempting to access the configuration at this point results in
git_dir being set to .git [*], which is almost certainly not what was
wanted. In particular, when run from a subdirectory of the toplevel,
git --paginate does not respect the core.pager setting from the
current repository.
[*] unless GIT_DIR or GIT_CONFIG is set
So delay the pager startup when possible:
1. run_argv() already commits pager choice inside run_builtin() if a
command is found. For commands that use RUN_SETUP, waiting until
then fixes the problem described above: once git knows where to
look, it happily respects the core.pager setting.
2. list_common_cmds_help() prints out 29 lines and exits. This can
benefit from pagination, so we need to commit the pager choice
before writing this output.
Luckily ‘git’ without subcommand has no other reason to access a
repository, so it would be intuitive to ignore repository-local
configuration in this case. Simpler for now to choose a pager
using the funny code that notices a repository that happens to be
at .git. That this accesses a repository when it is very
convenient to is a bug but not an important one.
3. help_unknown_cmd() prints out a few lines to stderr. It is not
important to paginate this, so don’t.

When git is passed the --paginate option, starting up a pager requires
deciding what pager to start, which requires access to the core.pager
configuration. If --paginate is handled before searching for the
git dir, this configuration will be missed.
In other words, with --paginate and only with --paginate, any
repository-local core.pager setting is being ignored [*].
[*] unless the git directory is ./.git or GIT_DIR or GIT_CONFIG was
set explicitly.
Add a test to demonstrate this counterintuitive behavior. Noticed
while reading over a patch by Duy that fixes it.

Test choice of pager at several stages of repository setup. This
provides some (admittedly uninteresting) examples to keep in mind when
considering changes to the setup procedure.

The current tests test pager configuration for ‘git log’, but other
commands use a different setup procedure and should therefore be
tested separately. Add a helper to make this easier.
This patch introduces the helper and changes some existing tests to
use it. The only functional change should be the introduction of ‘git
log - ’ to a few test descriptions.

Asciidoc interprets two dashes separated by spaces as a single big
dash. So let's escape the first dash, so that "\--" will properly
appear as "--".

In particular, the following warning is issued while compiling
notes.c:
notes.c(927) : warning C4550: expression evaluates to a \
function which is missing an argument list
along with identical warnings on lines 928, 1016 and 1017.
In order to suppress the warning, we change the definition of
combine_notes_fn, so that the symbol type is an (explicit)
"pointer to function ...". As a result, several other
declarations need some minor fix-up to take account of the
new typedef.

When using the protocol git+ssh:// for example we do not want to
decode the '+' as a space. The url decoding must take place only
for the server name and parameters.
This fixes a regression introduced in 9d2e942.
