"git branch --set-upstream-to" behaves differently when advice is
enabled/disabled:
| | error prefix | exit code |
|-----------------+--------------+-----------|
| advice enabled | error: | 1 |
| advice disabled | fatal: | 128 |
Make both cases consistent by using die_message() when advice is
enabled (this was first proposed in [1]).

"git branch --recurse-submodules" does not propagate "--track=inherit"
or "--no-track" to submodules, which causes submodule branches to use
the wrong tracking mode [1]. To fix this, pass the correct options to
the "submodule--helper create-branch" child process and test for it.
While we are refactoring the same code, replace "--track" with the
synonymous, but more consistent-looking "--track=direct" option
(introduced at the same time as "--track=inherit", d3115660b4 (branch:
add flags and config to inherit tracking, 2021-12-20)).
[1] This bug is partially a timing issue: "branch --recurse-submodules"
was introduced around the same time as "--track=inherit", and even
though I rebased "branch --recurse-submodules" on top of that, I had
neglected to support the new tracking mode. Omitting "--no-track"
was just a plain old mistake, though.

To improve the submodules UX, we would like to teach Git to handle
branches in submodules. Start this process by teaching "git branch" the
--recurse-submodules option so that "git branch --recurse-submodules
topic" will create the `topic` branch in the superproject and its
submodules.
Although this commit does not introduce breaking changes, it does not
work well with existing --recurse-submodules commands because "git
branch --recurse-submodules" writes to the submodule ref store, but most
commands only consider the superproject gitlink and ignore the submodule
ref store. For example, "git checkout --recurse-submodules" will check
out the commits in the superproject gitlinks (and put the submodules in
detached HEAD) instead of checking out the submodule branches.
Because of this, this commit introduces a new configuration value,
`submodule.propagateBranches`. The plan is for Git commands to
prioritize submodule ref store information over superproject gitlinks if
this value is true. Because "git branch --recurse-submodules" writes to
submodule ref stores, for the sake of clarity, it will not function
unless this configuration value is set.
This commit also includes changes that support working with submodules
from a superproject commit because "branch --recurse-submodules" (and
future commands) need to read .gitmodules and gitlinks from the
superproject commit, but submodules are typically read from the
filesystem's .gitmodules and the index's gitlinks. These changes are:
* add a submodules_of_tree() helper that gives the relevant
information of an in-tree submodule (e.g. path and oid) and
initializes the repository
* add is_tree_submodule_active() by adding a treeish_name parameter to
is_submodule_active()
* add the "submoduleNotUpdated" advice to advise users to update the
submodules in their trees
Incidentally, fix an incorrect usage string that combined the 'list'
usage of git branch (-l) with the 'create' usage; this string has been
incorrect since its inception, a8dfd5eac4 (Make builtin-branch.c use
parse_options., 2007-10-07).

With the previous commit, there are no more invocations of
create_branch() that do not create a branch because:
* BRANCH_TRACK_OVERRIDE is no longer passed
* clobber_head_ok = true and force = false is never passed
Assert these situations, delete dead code and ensure that we're handling
clobber_head_ok and force correctly by introducing tests for `git branch
--force`. As a result, create_branch() now always creates a branch.

This commit is preparation for a future commit that will simplify
create_branch() so that it always creates a branch. This will allow
create_branch() to accept a dry_run parameter (which is needed for "git
branch --recurse-submodules").
create_branch() used to always create a branch, but 4fc5006676 (Add
branch --set-upstream, 2010-01-18) changed it to also be able to set
tracking information without creating a branch.
Refactor the code that sets tracking information into its own functions
dwim_branch_start() and dwim_and_setup_tracking(). Also change an
invocation of create_branch() in cmd_branch() in builtin/branch.c to use
dwim_and_setup_tracking(), since that invocation is only for setting
tracking information (in "git branch --set-upstream-to").
As of this commit, create_branch() is no longer invoked in a way that
does not create branches.

Document that the accepted variants of the --track option are --track,
--track=direct, and --track=inherit. The equal sign in the latter two
cannot be replaced with whitespace; in general optional arguments need
to be attached firmly to their option.
Put "direct" consistently before "inherit", if only for the reasons
that the former is the default, explained first in the documentation,
and comes before the latter alphabetically.
Mention both modes in the short help so that readers don't have to look
them up in the full documentation. They are literal strings and thus
untranslatable. PARSE_OPT_LITERAL_ARGHELP is inferred due to the pipe
and parenthesis characters, so we don't have to provide that flag
explicitly.
Mention that -t has the same effect as --track and --track=direct.
There is no way to specify inherit mode using the short option, because
short options generally don't accept optional arguments.

It can be helpful when creating a new branch to use the existing
tracking configuration from the branch point. However, there is
currently not a method to automatically do so.
Teach git-{branch,checkout,switch} an "inherit" argument to the
"--track" option. When this is set, creating a new branch will cause the
tracking configuration to default to the configuration of the branch
point, if set.
For example, if branch "main" tracks "origin/main", and we run
`git checkout --track=inherit -b feature main`, then branch "feature"
will track "origin/main". Thus, `git status` will show us how far
ahead/behind we are from origin, and `git pull` will pull from origin.
This is particularly useful when creating branches across many
submodules, such as with `git submodule foreach ...` (or if running with
a patch such as [1], which we use at $job), as it avoids having to
manually set tracking info for each submodule.
Since we've added an argument to "--track", also add "--track=direct" as
another way to explicitly get the original "--track" behavior ("--track"
without an argument still works as well).
Finally, teach branch.autoSetupMerge a new "inherit" option. When this
is set, "--track=inherit" becomes the default behavior.

Change the "error: " output when we exit with 128 due to gc.log errors
to use a "fatal: " prefix instead. To do this add a
die_message_errno() a sibling function to the die_errno() added in a
preceding commit.
Before this we'd expect report_last_gc_error() to return -1 from
error_errno() in this case. It already treated a status of 0 and 1
specially. Let's just document that anything that's not 0 or 1 should
be returned.
We could also retain the "ret < 0" behavior here without hardcoding
128 by returning -128, and having the caller do a "return -ret", but I
think this makes more sense, and preserves the path from
die_message*()'s return value to the "return" without hardcoding
"128".

This change also demonstrates why the return value of
die_message_routine() needed to be that of "report_fn". We have
callers such as the run-command.c::child_err_spew() which would like
to replace its error routine with the return value of
"get_die_message_routine()".

We have code in various places that would like to call die(), but
wants to defer the exit(128) it would invoke, e.g. to print an
additional message, or adjust the exit code. Add a die_message()
helper routine to bridge this gap in the API.
Functionally this behaves just like the error() routine, except it'll
print a "fatal: " prefix, and it will return with 128 instead of -1,
this is so that caller can pass the return value to "exit()", instead
of having to hardcode "exit(128)".
Note that as with the other routines the "die_message_builtin" needs
to return "void" and otherwise conform to the "report_fn"
signature.
As we'll see in a subsequent commit callers will want to replace
e.g. their default "die_routine" with a "die_message_routine".
For now we're just adding the routine and making die_builtin() in
usage.c itself use it. In order to do that we need to add a
get_die_message_routine() function, which works like the other
get_*_routine() functions in usage.c. There is no
set_die_message_rotine(), as it hasn't been needed yet. We can add it
if we ever need it.
