Use of the `the_repository` variable is deprecated nowadays, and we
slowly but steadily convert the codebase to not use it anymore. Instead,
callers should be passing down the repository to work on via parameters.
It is hard though to prove that a given code unit does not use this
variable anymore. The most trivial case, merely demonstrating that there
is no direct use of `the_repository`, is already a bit of a pain during
code reviews as the reviewer needs to manually verify claims made by the
patch author. The bigger problem though is that we have many interfaces
that implicitly rely on `the_repository`.
Introduce a new `USE_THE_REPOSITORY_VARIABLE` macro that allows code
units to opt into usage of `the_repository`. The intent of this macro is
to demonstrate that a certain code unit does not use this variable
anymore, and to keep it from new dependencies on it in future changes,
be it explicit or implicit
For now, the macro only guards `the_repository` itself as well as
`the_hash_algo`. There are many more known interfaces where we have an
implicit dependency on `the_repository`, but those are not guarded at
the current point in time. Over time though, we should start to add
guards as required (or even better, just remove them).
Define the macro as required in our code units. As expected, most of our
code still relies on the global variable. Nearly all of our builtins
rely on the variable as there is no way yet to pass `the_repository` to
their entry point. For now, declare the macro in "biultin.h" to keep the
required changes at least a little bit more contained.

hash.h depends upon and includes repository.h, due to the definition and
use of the_hash_algo (defined as the_repository->hash_algo). However,
most headers trying to include hash.h are only interested in the layout
of the structs like object_id. Move the parts of hash.h that do not
depend upon repository.h into a new file hash-ll.h (the "low level"
parts of hash.h), and adjust other files to use this new header where
the convenience inline functions aren't needed.
This allows hash.h and object.h to be fairly small, minimal headers. It
also exposes a lot of hidden dependencies on both path.h (which was
brought in by repository.h) and repository.h (which was previously
implicitly brought in by object.h), so also adjust other files to be
more explicit about what they depend upon.

By moving several declarations to setup.h, the previous patch made it
possible to remove the include of cache.h in several source files. Do
so.

These defines and enum are all oid-related and as such seem to make
more sense being included in hash.h. Further, moving them there
allows us to remove some includes of cache.h in other files.
The change to line-log.h might look unrelated, but line-log.h includes
diffcore.h, which previously included cache.h, which included the
kitchen sink. Since this patch makes diffcore.h no longer include
cache.h, the compiler complains about the 'struct string_list *'
function parameter. Add a forward declaration for struct string_list to
address this.

In preparation for a subsequent commit that migrates code using
add_submodule_odb() to repo_submodule_init(), teach
repo_submodule_init() to support submodules with unabsorbed gitdirs.
(See the documentation for "git submodule absorbgitdirs" for more
information about absorbed and unabsorbed gitdirs.)

Up until recently, object IDs did not have an algorithm member, only a
hash. Consequently, it was possible to share one null (all-zeros)
object ID among all hash algorithms. Now that we're going to be
handling objects from multiple hash algorithms, it's important to make
sure that all object IDs have a correct algorithm field.
Introduce a per-algorithm null OID, and add it to struct hash_algo.
Introduce a wrapper function as well, and use it everywhere we used to
use the null_oid constant.

Many functions take an argv/argc pair, but never actually look at argc.
This makes it useless at best (we use the NULL sentinel in argv to find
the end of the array), and misleading at worst (what happens if the argc
count does not match the argv NULL?).
In each of these instances, the argv NULL does match the argc count, so
there are no bugs here. But let's tighten the interfaces to make it
harder to get wrong (and to reduce some -Wunused-parameter complaints).

When constructing a struct repository for a submodule for some revision
of the superproject where the submodule is not contained in the index,
it may not be present in the working tree currently either. In that
situation giving a 'path' argument is not useful. Upgrade the
repo_submodule_init function to take a struct submodule instead.
The submodule struct can be obtained via submodule_from_{path, name} or
an artificial submodule struct can be passed in.
While we are at it, rename the repository struct in the repo_submodule_init
function, which is to be initialized, to a name that is not confused with
the struct submodule as easily. Perform such renames in similar functions
as well.
Also move its documentation into the header file.

Add a test tool to exercise config_from_gitmodules(), in particular for
the case of nested submodules.
Add also a test to document that reading the submoudles config of nested
submodules does not work yet when the .gitmodules file is not in the
working tree but it still in the index.
This is because the git API does not always make it possible access the
object store of an arbitrary repository (see get_oid() usage in
config_from_gitmodules()).
When this git limitation gets fixed the aforementioned use case will be
supported too.
