helper/test-oidtree.c along with t0069-oidtree.sh test the oidtree.h
library, which is a wrapper around crit-bit tree. Migrate them to
the unit testing framework for better debugging and runtime
performance. Along with the migration, add an extra check for
oidtree_each() test, which showcases how multiple expected matches can
be given to check_each() helper.
To achieve this, introduce a new library called 'lib-oid.h'
exclusively for the unit tests to use. It currently mainly includes
utility to generate object_id from an arbitrary hex string
(i.e. '12a' -> '12a0000000000000000000000000000000000000'). This also
handles the hash algo selection based on GIT_TEST_DEFAULT_HASH.
This library will also be helpful when we port other unit tests such
as oid-array, oidset etc.

When given a length that equals the current hash algorithm's hex size,
then `repo_find_unique_abbrev_r()` exits early without trying to find an
abbreviation. This is only sensible because there is nothing to
abbreviate in the first place, so searching through objects to find a
unique prefix would be a waste of compute.
What we don't handle though is the case where the user passes a length
greater than the hash length. This is fine in practice as we still
compute the correct result. But at the very least, this is a waste of
resources as we try to abbreviate a value that cannot be abbreviated,
which causes us to hit the object database.
Start to explicitly handle values larger than hexsz to avoid this
performance penalty, which leads to a measureable speedup. The following
benchmark has been executed in linux.git:
Benchmark 1: git -c core.abbrev=9000 log --abbrev-commit (revision = HEAD~)
Time (mean ± σ): 12.812 s ± 0.040 s [User: 12.225 s, System: 0.554 s]
Range (min … max): 12.723 s … 12.857 s 10 runs
Benchmark 2: git -c core.abbrev=9000 log --abbrev-commit (revision = HEAD)

Range (min … max): 11.037 s … 11.122 s 10 runs
Summary
git -c core.abbrev=9000 log --abbrev-commit HEAD (revision = HEAD) ran
1.15 ± 0.00 times faster than git -c core.abbrev=9000 log --abbrev-commit HEAD (revision = HEAD~)

The `OPT__ABBREV()` option allows the user to specify the length that
object hashes shall be abbreviated to. This length needs to be in the
range of `(MIN_ABBREV, the_hash_algo->hexsz)`, which is why we clamp the
value as required. While this makes sense in the case of `MIN_ABBREV`,
it is unnecessary for the upper boundary as the value is eventually
passed down to `repo_find_unnique_abbrev_r()`, which handles values
larger than the current hash length just fine.
In the preceding commit, we have changed parsing of the "core.abbrev"
config to stop clamping to the upper boundary. Let's do the same here so
that the code becomes simpler, we are consistent with how we treat the
"core.abbrev" config and so that we stop depending on `the_repository`.

The "core.abbrev" config allows the user to specify the minimum length
when abbreviating object hashes. Next to the values "auto" and "no",
this config also accepts a concrete length that needs to be bigger or
equal to the minimum length and smaller or equal to the hash algorithm's
hex length. While the former condition is trivial, the latter depends on
the object format used by the current repository. It is thus a variable
upper boundary that may either be 40 (SHA-1) or 64 (SHA-256).
This has two major downsides. First, the user that specifies this config
must be aware of the object hashes that its repository use. If they want
to configure the value globally, then they cannot pick any value in the
range `[41, 64]` if they have any repository that uses SHA-1. If they
did, Git would error out when parsing the config.
Second, and more importantly, parsing "core.abbrev" crashes when outside
of a Git repository because we dereference `the_hash_algo` to figure out
its hex length. Starting with c8aed5e8da (repository: stop setting SHA1
as the default object hash, 2024-05-07) though, we stopped initializing
`the_hash_algo` outside of Git repositories.
Fix both of these issues by not making it an error anymore when the
given length exceeds the hash length. Instead, leave the abbreviated
length intact. `repo_find_unique_abbrev_r()` handles this just fine
except for a performance penalty which we will fix in a subsequent
commit.

There are some usecases where we may want to append CFLAGS to the
default CFLAGS set by Git. This could for example be to enable or
disable specific compiler warnings or to change the optimization level
that code is compiled with. This cannot be done without overriding the
complete CFLAGS value though and thus requires the user to redeclare the
complete defaults used by Git.
Introduce a new variable `CFLAGS_APPEND` that gets appended to the
default value of `CFLAGS`. As compiler options are last-one-wins, this
fulfills both of the usecases mentioned above. It's also common practice
across many other projects to have such a variable.
While at it, also introduce a matching `LDFLAGS_APPEND` variable. While
there isn't really any need for this variable as there are no default
`LDFLAGS`, users may expect this variable to exist, as well.

When performing multi-pack reuse, reuse_partial_packfile_from_bitmap()
is responsible for generating an array of bitmapped_pack structs from
which to perform reuse.
In the multi-pack case, we loop over the MIDXs packs and copy the result
of calling `nth_bitmapped_pack()` to construct the list of reusable
paths.
But we may also want to do pack-reuse over a single pack, either because
we only had one pack to perform reuse over (in the case of single-pack
bitmaps), or because we explicitly asked to do single pack reuse even
with a MIDX[^1].
When this is the case, the array we generate of reusable packs contains
only a single element, which is either (a) the pack attached to the
single-pack bitmap, or (b) the MIDX's preferred pack.
In 795006fff4 (pack-bitmap: gracefully handle missing BTMP chunks,
2024-04-15), we refactored the reuse_partial_packfile_from_bitmap()
function and stopped assigning the pack_int_id field when reusing only
the MIDX's preferred pack. This results in an uninitialized read down in
try_partial_reuse() like so:
==7474==WARNING: MemorySanitizer: use-of-uninitialized-value
#0 0x55c5cd191dde in try_partial_reuse pack-bitmap.c:1887:8
#1 0x55c5cd191dde in reuse_partial_packfile_from_bitmap_1 pack-bitmap.c:2001:8
#2 0x55c5cd191dde in reuse_partial_packfile_from_bitmap pack-bitmap.c:2105:3
#3 0x55c5cce0bd0e in get_object_list_from_bitmap builtin/pack-objects.c:4043:3
#4 0x55c5cce0bd0e in get_object_list builtin/pack-objects.c:4156:27
#5 0x55c5cce0bd0e in cmd_pack_objects builtin/pack-objects.c:4596:3
#6 0x55c5ccc8fac8 in run_builtin git.c:474:11
which happens when try_partial_reuse() tries to call
midx_pair_to_pack_pos() when it tries to reject cross-pack deltas.
Avoid the uninitialized read by ensuring that the pack_int_id field is
set in the single-pack reuse case by setting it to either the MIDX
preferred pack's pack_int_id, or '-1', in the case of single-pack
bitmaps. In the latter case, we never read the pack_int_id field, so
the choice of '-1' is intentional as a "garbage in, garbage out"
measure.
Guard against further regressions in this area by adding a test which
ensures that we do not throw out deltas from the preferred pack as
"cross-pack" due to an uninitialized pack_int_id.
[^1]: This can happen for a couple of reasons, either because the
repository is configured with 'pack.allowPackReuse=(true|single)', or
because the MIDX was generated prior to the introduction of the BTMP
chunk, which contains information necessary to perform multi-pack
reuse.

Commit d6a8c58675 (midx-write.c: support reading an existing MIDX with
`packs_to_include`, 2024-05-29) changed the MIDX generation machinery to
support reading from an existing MIDX when writing a new one.
Unfortunately, the rest of the MIDX generation machinery is not prepared
to deal with such a change. For instance, the function responsible for
adding to the object ID fanout table from a MIDX source
(midx_fanout_add_midx_fanout()) will gladly add objects from an existing
MIDX for some fanout level regardless of whether or not those objects
came from packs that are to be included in the subsequent MIDX write.
This results in broken pseudo-pack object order (leading to incorrect
object traversal results) and segmentation faults, like so (generated by
running the added test prior to the changes in midx-write.c):
#0 0x000055ee31393f47 in midx_pack_order (ctx=0x7ffdde205c70) at midx-write.c:590
#1 0x000055ee31395a69 in write_midx_internal (object_dir=0x55ee32570440 ".git/objects",
packs_to_include=0x7ffdde205e20, packs_to_drop=0x0, preferred_pack_name=0x0,
refs_snapshot=0x0, flags=15) at midx-write.c:1171
#2 0x000055ee31395f38 in write_midx_file_only (object_dir=0x55ee32570440 ".git/objects",
packs_to_include=0x7ffdde205e20, preferred_pack_name=0x0, refs_snapshot=0x0, flags=15)
at midx-write.c:1274
[...]
In stack frame #0, the code on midx-write.c:590 is using the new pack ID
corresponding to some object which was added from the existing MIDX.
Importantly, the pack from which that object was selected in the
existing MIDX does not appear in the new MIDX as it was excluded via
`--stdin-packs`.
In this instance, the pack in question had pack ID "1" in the existing
MIDX, but since it was excluded from the new MIDX, we never filled in
that entry in the pack_perm table, resulting in:
(gdb) p *ctx->pack_perm@2
$1 = {0, 1515870810}
Which is what causes the segfault above when we try and read:
struct pack_info *pack = &ctx->info[ctx->pack_perm[i]];
if (pack->bitmap_pos == BITMAP_POS_UNKNOWN)
pack->bitmap_pos = 0;
Fundamentally, we should be able to read information from an existing
MIDX when generating a new one. But in practice the midx-write.c code
assumes that we won't run into issues like the above with incongruent
pack IDs, and often makes those assumptions in extremely subtle and
fragile ways.
Instead, let's avoid reading from an existing MIDX altogether, and stick
with the pre-d6a8c58675 implementation. Harden against any regressions
in this area by adding a test which demonstrates these issues.

- `do_diff_cache()` creates a shallow copy of `struct diff_options`,

- `diff_free()` and friends do not play nice when being called

diff.trustExitCode and diff.<driver>.trustExitCode and the environment
variable GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF_TRUST_EXIT_CODE. They pair with the config
options diff.external and diff.<driver>.command and the environment
variable GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF, respectively.
The new options are off by default, keeping the old behavior. Enabling
them indicates that the external diff returns exit code 1 if it finds
significant changes and 0 if it doesn't, like diff(1).
The name of the new options is taken from the git difftool and mergetool
options of similar purpose. (There they enable passing on the exit code
of a diff tool and to infer whether a merge done by a merge tool is
successful.)
The new feature sets the diff flag diff_from_contents in
diff_setup_done() if we need the exit code and are allowed to call
external diffs. This disables the optimization that avoids calling the
program with --quiet. Add it back by skipping the call if the external
diff is not able to report empty diffs. We can only do that check after
evaluating the file-specific attributes in run_external_diff().
If we do run the external diff with --quiet, send its output to
/dev/null.
I considered checking the output of the external diff to check whether
its empty. It was added as 11be65cfa4 (diff: fix --exit-code with
external diff, 2024-05-05) and quickly reverted, as it does not work
with external diffs that do not write to stdout. There's no reason why
a graphical diff tool would even need to write anything there at all.
I also considered using a non-zero exit code for empty diffs, which
could be done without adding new configuration options. We'd need to
disable the optimization that allows git diff --quiet to skip calling
external diffs, though -- that might be quite surprising if graphical
diff programs are involved. And assigning the opposite meaning of the
exit codes compared to diff(1) and git diff --exit-code to the external
diff can cause unnecessary confusion.

Wrap the string specifying the external diff command in a new struct to
simplify adding attributes, which the next patch will do.
Make sure external_diff() still returns NULL if neither the environment
variable GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF nor the configuration option diff.external is
set, to continue allowing its use in a boolean context.
Use a designated initializer for the default builtin userdiff driver to
adjust to the type change of the second struct member. Spelling out
only the non-zero members improves readability as a nice side-effect.
No functional change intended.

Add tests to check the exit code of git diff with its options --quiet
and --exit-code when using an external diff program. Currently we
cannot tell whether it found significant changes or not.
While at it, document briefly that --quiet turns off execution of
external diff programs because that behavior surprised me for a moment
while writing the tests.

A public function mem_pool_strfmt() takes printf like parameters,
but is not given an attribute as such. Also a few file-scope static
functions were missing their format attribute.
Add them.
