completion: handle unusual characters for sparse-checkout

characters in directory names. Although this initially involved an attempt
to re-use the logic in __git_index_files, this method removed
subdirectories (e.g. folder1/0/ became folder1/), so instead new custom
logic was placed directly in the __gitcomp_directories method.
Note there are two tests for this new functionality - one for spaces and
accents and one for backslashes and tabs. The backslashes and tabs test
uses FUNNYNAMES to avoid running on Windows. This is because:
1. Backslashes are explicitly not allowed in Windows file paths.
2. Although tabs appear to be allowed when creating a file in a Windows
bash shell, they actually are not renderable (and appear as empty boxes
in the shell).

The unusual character caveat from the previous commit will be fixed by the
final commit in this series.
Correct multiple issues with tab completion of the git sparse-checkout
command. These issues were:
1. git sparse-checkout <TAB> previously resulted in an incomplete list of
subcommands (it was missing reapply and add).
2. Subcommand options were not tab-completable.
3. git sparse-checkout set <TAB> and git sparse-checkout add <TAB> showed
both file names and directory names. While this may be a less surprising
behavior for non-cone mode, cone mode sparse checkouts should complete
only directory names.
Note that while the new strategy of just using git ls-tree to complete on
directory names is simple and a step in the right direction, it does have
some caveats. These are:
1. Likelihood of poor performance in large monorepos (as a result of
recursively completing directory names).
2. Inability to handle paths containing unusual characters.
These caveats will be fixed by subsequent commits in this series.

diff-merges: avoid history simplifications when diffing merges
Doing diffs for merges are special; they should typically avoid history
simplification. For example, with
git log --diff-merges=first-parent -- path
the default history simplification would remove merge commits from
consideration if the file "path" matched the second parent. That is
counter to what the user wants when looking for first-parent diffs.
Similar comments can be made for --diff-merges=separate (which diffs
against both parents) and --diff-merges=remerge (which diffs against a
remerge of the merge commit).
However, history simplification still makes sense if not doing diffing
merges, and it also makes sense for the combined and dense-combined
forms of diffing merges (because both of those are defined to only show
a diff when the merge result at the relevant paths differs from *both*
parents).
So, for separate, first-parent, and remerge styles of diff-merges, turn
off history simplification.

intersperse messages about other paths, particularly when renames

* The deferral of messages means we can avoid printing spurious

prematurely checks for local modifications in the way via
unpack_trees() and gets the check wrong both in terms of false

Since some callers may want to send warning messages to somewhere other
than stdout/stderr, stop printing "warning: Cannot merge binary files"

probably does not belong in a "low-level merge" anyway.
This commit continues printing the message as-is, just from the callers
instead of within ll_merge(). Future changes will start handling the
message differently in the merge-ort codepath.
There was one special case here: the callers in rerere.c do NOT check
for and print such a message; since those code paths explicitly skip
over binary files, there is no reason to check for a return status of
LL_MERGE_BINARY_CONFLICT or print the related message.
Note that my methodology included first modifying ll_merge() to return
a struct, so that the compiler would catch all the callers for me and
ensure I had modified all of them. After modifying all of them, I then
changed the struct to an enum.

show, log: provide a --remerge-diff capability
When this option is specified, we remerge all (two parent) merge commits
and diff the actual merge commit to the automatically created version,
in order to show how users removed conflict markers, resolved the
different conflict versions, and potentially added new changes outside
of conflict regions in order to resolve semantic merge problems (or,
possibly, just to hide other random changes).
This capability works by creating a temporary object directory and
marking it as the primary object store. This makes it so that any blobs
or trees created during the automatic merge are easily removable
afterwards by just deleting all objects from the temporary object
directory.
There are a few ways that this implementation is suboptimal:
* `log --remerge-diff` becomes slow, because the temporary object
directory can fill with many loose objects while running
* the log output can be muddied with misplaced "warning: cannot merge
binary files" messages, since ll-merge.c unconditionally writes those
messages to stderr while running instead of allowing callers to
manage them.
* important conflict and warning messages are simply dropped; thus for
conflicts like modify/delete or rename/rename or file/directory which
are not representable with content conflict markers, there may be no
way for a user of --remerge-diff to know that there had been a
conflict which was resolved (and which possibly motivated other
changes in the merge commit).

and warning messages might start being included. We should instead

refs API: remove "failure_errno" from refs_resolve_ref_unsafe()
Remove the now-unused "failure_errno" parameter from the
refs_resolve_ref_unsafe() signature. In my recent 96f6623ada0 (Merge
branch 'ab/refs-errno-cleanup', 2021-11-29) series we made all of its
callers explicitly request the errno via an output parameter.
As that series shows all but one caller ended up passing in a
boilerplate "ignore_errno", since they only cared about whether the
return value was NULL or not, i.e. if the ref could be resolved.
There was one small issue with that series fixed with a follow-up in 31e39123695 (Merge branch 'ab/refs-errno-cleanup', 2022-01-14) a small
bug in that series was fixed.
After those two there was one caller left in sequencer.c that used the
"failure_errno', but as of the preceding commit it uses a boilerplate
"ignore_errno" instead.
This leaves the public refs API without any use of "failure_errno" at
all. We could still do with a bit of cleanup and generalization
between refs.c and refs/files-backend.c before the "reftable"
integration lands, but that's all internal to the reference code
itself.
So let's remove this output parameter. Not only isn't it used now, but
it's unlikely that we'll want it again in the future. We'd like to
slowly move the refs API to a more file-backend independent way of
communicating error codes, having it use a "failure_errno" was only
the first step in that direction. If this or any other function needs
to communicate what specifically is wrong with the requested "refname"
it'll be better to have the function set some output enum of
well-defined error states than piggy-backend on "errno".

When we fail to resolve "HEAD" after the sequencer runs it doesn't
really help to say what the "errno" value is, since the fake backend
errno may or may not reflect anything real about the state of the
".git/HEAD". With the upcoming reftable backend this fakery will
become even more pronounced.
So let's just die() instead of die_errno() here. This will also help

sequencer, stash: fix running from worktree subdir
In commits bc3ae46b42 ("rebase: do not attempt to remove
startup_info->original_cwd", 2021-12-09) and 0fce211ccc ("stash: do not
attempt to remove startup_info->original_cwd", 2021-12-09), we wanted to
allow the subprocess to know which directory the parent process was
running from, so that the subprocess could protect it. However...
When run from a non-main worktree, setup_git_directory() will note
that the discovered git directory
(/PATH/TO/.git/worktree/non-main-worktree) does not match
DEFAULT_GIT_DIR_ENVIRONMENT (see setup_discovered_git_dir()), and
decide to set GIT_DIR in the environment. This matters because...
Whenever git is run with the GIT_DIR environment variable set, and
GIT_WORK_TREE not set, it presumes that '.' is the working tree. So...
This combination results in the subcommand being very confused about
the working tree. Fix it by also setting the GIT_WORK_TREE environment
variable along with setting cmd.dir.
A possibly more involved fix we could consider for later would be to
make setup.c set GIT_WORK_TREE whenever (a) it discovers both the git
directory and the working tree and (b) it decides to set GIT_DIR in the
environment. I did not attempt that here as such would be too big of a
change for a 2.35.1 release.

clone: support unusual remote ref configurations
When cloning a branchless and tagless but not refless remote using
protocol v0 or v1, Git calls transport_fetch_refs() with an empty ref
list. This makes the clone fail with the message "remote transport
reported error".
Git should have refrained from calling transport_fetch_refs(), just like
it does in the case that the remote is refless. Therefore, teach Git to
do this.
In protocol v2, this does not happen because the client passes
ref-prefix arguments that filter out non-branches and non-tags in the
ref advertisement, making the remote appear empty.
Note that this bug concerns logic in builtin/clone.c and only affects
cloning, not fetching.

mem-pool: don't assume uintmax_t is aligned enough for all types
mem_pool_alloc uses sizeof(uintmax_t) as a proxy for what should be
_Alignof(max_align_t) in C11. On most architectures this is sufficient
(though on m68k it is in fact overly strict, since the de-facto ABI,
which differs from the specified System V ABI, has the maximum alignment
of all types as 2 bytes), but on CHERI, and thus Arm's Morello
prototype, it is insufficient for any type that stores a pointer, which
must be aligned to 128 bits (on 64-bit architectures extended with
CHERI), whilst uintmax_t is a 64-bit integer.
Fix this by introducing our own approximation for max_align_t and a
means to compute _Alignof it without relying on C11. Currently this
union only contains uintmax_t and void *, but more types can be added as
needed.

We are about to introduce such additional checks, and indeed, t1091

sparse-index: sparse index is disallowed when split index is active
In 6e773527b6b (sparse-index: convert from full to sparse, 2021-03-30),
we introduced initial support for a sparse index, and were careful to
avoid converting to a sparse index in the presence of a split index.
However, when we _just_ read a freshly-initialized index, it might not
contain a split index even if _writing_ it will add one by virtue of
being asked for via the `GIT_TEST_SPLIT_INDEX` variable.
We did not notice any problems with checking _only_ for `split_index`
(and not `GIT_TEST_SPLIT_INDEX`) right until both
`vd/sparse-sparsity-fix-on-read` _and_ `vd/sparse-reset` were merged.
Those two topics' interplay triggers a bug in conjunction with running
t1091.15 when `GIT_TEST_SPLIT_INDEX=true` in the following way:
`vd/sparse-sparsity-fix-on-read` ensures that the index is made sparse
right after reading, and `vd/sparse-reset` ensures that the index is
made non-sparse again unless running in the `--soft` mode. Since the
split index feature is incompatible with the sparse index feature, we
see a symptom like this:
fatal: position for replacement 4 exceeds base index size 4
Let's fix this by avoiding the conversion to a sparse index when
`GIT_TEST_SPLIT_INDEX=true`.

checkout: avoid BUG() when hitting a broken repository
When 9081a421 (checkout: fix "branch info" memory leaks, 2021-11-16)
cleaned up existing memory leaks, we added an unrelated sanity check
to ensure that a local branch is truly local and not a symref to
elsewhere that dies with BUG() otherwise. This was misguided in two
ways. First of all, such a tightening did not belong to a leak-fix
patch. And the condition it detected was *not* a bug in our program
but a problem in user data, where warning() or die() would have been
more appropriate.
As the condition is not fatal (the result of computing the local
branch name in the code that is involved in the faulty check is only
used as a textual label for the commit), let's revert the code to
the original state, i.e. strip "refs/heads/" to compute the local
branch name if possible, and otherwise leave it NULL. The consumer
of the information in merge_working_tree() is prepared to see NULL
in there and act accordingly.

merge-ort: fix memory leak in merge_ort_internal()
The documentation for merge_incore_recursive(), modelled after
merge_recursive(), notes that
merge_bases will be consumed (emptied) so make a copy if you need it
However, in merge_ort_internal() (which merge_incore_recursive() calls),
it runs
merged_merge_bases = pop_commit(&merge_bases);
...
for (iter = merge_bases; iter; iter = iter->next) {
...
}
In other words, it only consumes the *first* entry of merge_bases, and
the rest it iterates through. If it iterated through all of them, the
caller could be responsible for free'ing the memory. If it consumed all
of them, the current documentation would be correct and the callers
would need to do nothing. The current middle ground makes it impossible
for callers to avoid memory leaks, since any attempt to use the
merge_bases it passes in would result in a use-after-free.
It turns out this part of the code was copied from merge-recursive.c,
which has had the same bug for 15.5 years. However, since we are trying
to keep merge-recursive.c stable as we sunset it, let's just fix the
leak in in merge_ort_internal() by having it actually consume all the
elements of the merge_bases commit_list.
Testing this commit against t6404 (the first testcase specifically
about recursive merges) under valgrind shows that this patch fixes
the following leak:

This is the only "open" in builtin/sparse-checkout.c that does not have

This reduces the amount of glue code, because we don't need a void
