commit_locked_index(), when writing to an alternate index file,
duplicates (poorly) the code in commit_lock_file(). And anyway, it
shouldn't have to know so much about the internal workings of lockfile
objects. So extract a new function commit_lock_file_to() that does the
work common to the two functions, and call it from both
commit_lock_file() and commit_locked_index().

Rewrite last_path_elm() to take a strbuf parameter and to trim off the
last path name element in place rather than returning a pointer to the
beginning of the last path name element. This simplifies the function
a bit and makes it integrate better with its caller, which is now also
strbuf-based. Rename the function accordingly and a bit less tersely.

For now, we still make sure to allocate at least PATH_MAX characters
for the strbuf because resolve_symlink() doesn't know how to expand
the space for its return value. (That will be fixed in a moment.)
Another alternative would be to just use a strbuf as scratch space in
lock_file() but then store a pointer to the naked string in struct
lock_file. But lock_file objects are often reused. By reusing the
same strbuf, we can avoid having to reallocate the string most times
when a lock_file object is reused.

The function remove_lock_file_on_signal() is used as a signal handler.
It is not realistic to make the signal handler conform strictly to the
C standard, which is very restrictive about what a signal handler is
allowed to do. But let's increase the likelihood that it will work:
The lock_file_list global variable and several fields from struct
lock_file are used by the signal handler. Declare those values
"volatile" to (1) force the main process to write the values to RAM
promptly, and (2) prevent updates to these fields from being reordered
in a way that leaves an opportunity for a jump to the signal handler
while the object is in an inconsistent state.
We don't mark the filename field volatile because that would prevent
the use of strcpy(), and it is anyway unlikely that a compiler
re-orders a strcpy() call across other expressions. So in practice it
should be possible to get away without "volatile" in the "filename"
case.

Because remove_lock_file() can be called any time by the signal
handler, it is important that any lock_file objects that are in the
lock_file_list are always in a valid state. And since lock_file
objects are often reused (but are never removed from lock_file_list),
that means we have to be careful whenever mutating a lock_file object
to always keep it in a well-defined state.
This was formerly not the case, because part of the state was encoded
by setting lk->filename to the empty string vs. a valid filename. It
is wrong to assume that this string can be updated atomically; for
example, even
strcpy(lk->filename, value)
is unsafe. But the old code was even more reckless; for example,
strcpy(lk->filename, path);
if (!(flags & LOCK_NODEREF))
resolve_symlink(lk->filename, max_path_len);
strcat(lk->filename, ".lock");
During the call to resolve_symlink(), lk->filename contained the name
of the file that was being locked, not the name of the lockfile. If a
signal were raised during that interval, then the signal handler would
have deleted the valuable file!
We could probably continue to use the filename field to encode the
state by being careful to write characters 1..N-1 of the filename
first, and then overwrite the NUL at filename[0] with the first
character of the filename, but that would be awkward and error-prone.
So, instead of using the filename field to determine whether the
lock_file object is active, add a new field "lock_file::active" for
this purpose. Be careful to set this field only when filename really
contains the name of a file that should be deleted on cleanup.

If closing an open lockfile fails, then we cannot be sure of the
contents of the lockfile, so there is nothing sensible to do but
delete it. This change also insures that the lock_file object is left
in a defined state in this error path (namely, unlocked).
The only caller that is ultimately affected by this change is
try_merge_strategy() -> write_locked_index(), which can call
close_lock_file() via various execution paths. This caller uses a
static lock_file object which previously could have been reused after
a failed close_lock_file() even though it was still in locked state.
This change causes the lock_file object to be unlocked on failure,
thus fixing this error-handling path.

The purpose of this change is to make the state diagram for
lock_file objects simpler and deterministic.
If locking fails, lock_file() sometimes leaves the lock_file object
partly initialized, but sometimes not. It sometimes registers the
object in lock_file_list, but sometimes not. This makes the state
diagram for lock_file objects effectively indeterministic and hard
to reason about. A future patch will also change the filename field
into a strbuf, which needs more involved initialization, so it will
become even more important that the state of a lock_file object is
well-defined after a failed attempt to lock.
The ambiguity doesn't currently have any ill effects, because
lock_file objects cannot be removed from the lock_file_list anyway.
But to make it easier to document and reason about the code, make
this behavior consistent: *always* initialize the lock_file object
and *always* register it in lock_file_list the first time it is
used, regardless of whether an error occurs.
While we're at it, make sure that all of the lock_file fields are
initialized to values appropriate for an unlocked object; the caller
is only responsible for making sure that on_list is set to zero before
the first time it is used.
