Right now, SHA-1 is the default hash algorithm in Git. However, this
may change in the future.
We have many places in our code that use the SHA-1 constant to indicate
the default hash if none is specified, but it will end up being more
practical to specify this explicitly and clearly using a constant for
whatever the default hash algorithm is. Then, if we decide to change it
in the future, we can simply replace the constant representing the
default with a new value.
For these reasons, introduce GIT_HASH_DEFAULT to represent the default
hash algorithm.

The "--recursive" flag for git-grep(1) allows users to grep for a string
across submodule boundaries. To make this work we add each submodule's
object sources to our own object database so that the objects can be
accessed directly.
The infrastructure for this depends on a global string list of submodule
paths. The caller is expected to call `add_submodule_odb_by_path()` for
each source and the object database will then eventually register all
submodule sources via `do_oid_object_info_extended()` in case it isn't
able to look up a specific object.
This reliance on global state is of course suboptimal with regards to
our libification efforts.
Refactor the logic so that the list of submodule sources is instead
tracked in the object database itself. This allows us to lose the
condition of `r == the_repository` before registering submodule sources
as we only ever add submodule sources to `the_repository` anyway. As
such, behaviour before and after this refactoring should always be the
same.
Rename the functions accordingly.

In subsequent commits we'll get rid of our use of `the_repository` in
"odb.c" in favor of explicitly passing in a `struct object_database` or
a `struct odb_source`. In some cases though we'll need access to the
repository, for example to read a config value from it, but we don't
have a way to access the repository owning a specific object database.
Introduce parent pointers for `struct object_database` to its owning
repository as well as for `struct odb_source` to its owning object
database, which will allow us to adapt those use cases.
Note that this change requires us to pass through the object database to

source there. The callchain is adapted to pass through the object

The `object_directory` structure is used as an access point for a single
object directory like ".git/objects". While the structure isn't yet
fully self-contained, the intent is for it to eventually contain all
information required to access objects in one specific location.
While the name "object directory" is a good fit for now, this will
change over time as we continue with the agenda to make pluggable object
databases a thing. Eventually, objects may not be accessed via any kind
of directory at all anymore, but they could instead be backed by any
kind of durable storage mechanism. While it seems quite far-fetched for
now, it is thinkable that eventually this might even be some form of a
database, for example.
As such, the current name of this structure will become worse over time
as we evolve into the direction of pluggable ODBs. Immediate next steps
will start to carve out proper self-contained object directories, which
requires us to pass in these object directories as parameters. Based on
our modern naming schema this means that those functions should then be
named after their subsystem, which means that we would start to bake the
current name into the codebase more and more.
Let's preempt this by renaming the structure. There have been a couple
alternatives that were discussed:
- `odb_backend` was discarded because it led to the association that
one object database has a single backend, but the model is that one
alternate has one backend. Furthermore, "backend" is more about the
actual backing implementation and less about the high-level concept.
- `odb_alternate` was discarded because it is a bit of a stretch to
also call the main object directory an "alternate".
Instead, pick `odb_source` as the new name. It makes it sufficiently
clear that there can be multiple sources and does not cause confusion
when mixed with the already-existing "alternate" terminology.
In the future, this change allows us to easily introduce for example a
`odb_files_source` and other format-specific implementations.

The `raw_object_store` structure is the central entry point for reading
and writing objects in a repository. The main purpose of this structure
is to manage object directories and provide an interface to access and
write objects in those object directories.
Right now, many of the functions associated with the raw object store
implicitly rely on `the_repository` to get access to its `objects`
pointer, which is the `raw_object_store`. As we want to generally get
rid of using `the_repository` across our codebase we will have to
convert this implicit dependency on this global variable into an
explicit parameter.
This conversion can be done by simply passing in an explicit pointer to
a repository and then using its `->objects` pointer. But there is a
second effort underway, which is to make the object subsystem more
selfcontained so that we can eventually have pluggable object backends.
As such, passing in a repository wouldn't make a ton of sense, and the
goal is to convert the object store interfaces such that we always pass
in a reference to the `raw_object_store` instead.
This will expose the `raw_object_store` type to a lot more callers
though, which surfaces that this type is named somewhat awkwardly. The
"raw_" prefix makes readers wonder whether there is a non-raw variant of
the object store, but there isn't. Furthermore, we nowadays want to name
functions in a way that they can be clearly attributed to a specific
subsystem, but calling them e.g. `raw_object_store_has_object()` is just
too unwieldy, even when dropping the "raw_" prefix.
Instead, rename the structure to `object_database`. This term is already
used a lot throughout our codebase, and it cannot easily be mistaken for
"object directories", either. Furthermore, its acronym ODB is already
well-known and works well as part of a function's name, like for example
`odb_has_object()`.

After going through the "failed" label, load_bitmap() will return -1,
and its caller (either prepare_bitmap_walk() or prepare_bitmap_git())
will then call free_bitmap_index().
That function would have done:
struct stored_bitmap *sb;
kh_foreach_value(b->bitmaps, sb {
ewah_pool_free(sb->root);
free(sb);
});
, but won't since load_bitmap() already called kh_destroy_oid_map() and
NULL'd the "bitmaps" pointer from within its "failed" label. Thus if you
got part of the way through loading bitmap entries and then failed, you
would leak all of the previous entries that you were able to load
successfully.
The solution is to remove the error handling code in load_bitmap(), because
its caller will always call free_bitmap_index() in case of an error.
