On Windows, git repositories may have extra files which need cleaned
(e.g., a build directory) that may be arbitrarily deep. Suggest using
`core.longPaths` if such situations are encountered.

This is retry of #1419.
I added flush_fscache macro to flush cached stats after disk writing
with tests for regression reported in #1438 and #1442.
git checkout checks each file path in sorted order, so cache flushing does not
make performance worse unless we have large number of modified files in
a directory containing many files.
Using chromium repository, I tested `git checkout .` performance when I
delete 10 files in different directories.

Teach "add" to use preload-index and fscache features
to improve performance on very large repositories.
During an "add", a call is made to run_diff_files()
which calls check_remove() for each index-entry. This
calls lstat(). On Windows, the fscache code intercepts
the lstat() calls and builds a private cache using the
FindFirst/FindNext routines, which are much faster.
Somewhat independent of this, is the preload-index code
which distributes some of the start-up costs across
multiple threads.
We need to keep the call to read_cache() before parsing the
pathspecs (and hence cannot use the pathspecs to limit any preload)
because parse_pathspec() is using the index to determine whether a
pathspec is, in fact, in a submodule. If we would not read the index
first, parse_pathspec() would not error out on a path that is inside
a submodule, and t7400-submodule-basic.sh would fail with
not ok 47 - do not add files from a submodule
We still want the nice preload performance boost, though, so we simply
call read_cache_preload(&pathspecs) after parsing the pathspecs.

Windows' equivalent to "bind mounts", NTFS junction points, can be
unlinked without affecting the mount target. This is clearly what users
expect to happen when they call `git clean -dfx` in a worktree that
contains NTFS junction points: the junction should be removed, and the
target directory of said junction should be left alone (unless it is
inside the worktree).

It seems to be not exactly rare on Windows to install NTFS junction
points (the equivalent of "bind mounts" on Linux/Unix) in worktrees,
e.g. to map some development tools into a subdirectory.
In such a scenario, it is pretty horrible if `git clean -dfx` traverses
into the mapped directory and starts to "clean up".
Let's just not do that. Let's make sure before we traverse into a
directory that it is not a mount point (or junction).

The command "git tag -s" internally calls sign_buffer() to make a
cryptographic signature using the chosen backend like GPG and SSH.
The internal helper functions used by "git tag" implementation seem
to use a "negative return values are errors, zero or positive return
values are not" convention, and there are places (e.g., verify_tag()
that calls gpg_verify_tag()) that these internal helper functions
translate return values that signal errors to conform to this
convention, but do_sign() that calls sign_buffer() forgets to do so.
Fix it, so that a failed call to sign_buffer() that can return the
exit status from pipe_command() will not be overlooked.

"git show-ref --verify" is useful for scripts that want to look up a
fully qualified refname without falling back to the DWIM rules used by
"git rev-parse" rules when the ref does not exist. Currently it will
only accept "HEAD" or a refname beginning with "refs/". Running
git show-ref --verify CHERRY_PICK_HEAD
will always result in
fatal: 'CHERRY_PICK_HEAD' - not a valid ref
even when CHERRY_PICK_HEAD exists. By calling refname_is_safe() instead
of comparing the refname to "HEAD" we can accept all one-level refs that
contain only uppercase ascii letters and underscores.

The git-stash(1) command needs to write to the index for many of its
operations. When the index is locked by a concurrent writer it will thus
fail to operate, which is expected. What is not expected though is that
we do not print any error message at all in this case. The user can thus
easily miss the fact that the command didn't do what they expected it to
do and would be left wondering why that is.
Fix this bug and report failures to write to the index. Add tests for
the subcommands which hit the respective code paths.
While at it, unify error messages when writing to the index fails. The
chosen error message is already used in "builtin/stash.c".

Now that multi-pack reuse is supported, enable it via the
feature.experimental configuration in addition to the classic
`pack.allowPackReuse`.
This will allow more users to experiment with the new behavior who might
not otherwise be aware of the existing `pack.allowPackReuse`
configuration option.
The enum with values NO_PACK_REUSE, SINGLE_PACK_REUSE, and
MULTI_PACK_REUSE is defined statically in builtin/pack-objects.c's
compilation unit. We could hoist that enum into a scope visible from the
repository_settings struct, and then use that enum value in
pack-objects. Instead, define a single int that indicates what
pack-objects's default value should be to avoid additional unnecessary
code movement.
Though `feature.experimental` implies `pack.allowPackReuse=multi`, this
can still be overridden by explicitly setting the latter configuration
to either "single" or "false". Tests covering all of these cases are
showin t5332.

git-index-pack has a --strict option that can take an optional argument
to provide a list of fsck issues to change their severity.
--fsck-objects does not have such a utility, which would be useful if
one would like to be more lenient or strict on data integrity in a
repository.
Like --strict, allow --fsck-objects to also take a list of fsck msgs to
change the severity.
Remove the "For internal use only" note for --fsck-objects, and document
the option. This won't often be used by the normal end user, but it
turns out it is useful for Git forges like GitLab.

In 70c70de616 (refs: complete list of special refs, 2023-12-14) we have
inrtoduced a new `is_special_ref()` function that classifies some refs
as being special. The rule is that special refs are exclusively read and
written via the filesystem directly, whereas normal refs exclucsively go
via the refs API.
The intent of that commit was to record the status quo so that we know
to route reads of such special refs consistently. Eventually, the list
should be reduced to its bare minimum of refs which really are special,
namely FETCH_HEAD and MERGE_HEAD.
Follow up on this promise and convert the AUTO_MERGE ref to become a
normal pseudo-ref by using the refs API to both read and write it
instead of accessing the filesystem directly.

When creating a worktree we create the worktree's ref database manually
by first writing a "HEAD" file so that the directory is recognized as a
Git repository by other commands, and then running git-update-ref(1) or
git-symbolic-ref(1) to write the actual value. But while this is fine
for the files backend, this logic simply assumes too much about how the
ref backend works and will leave behind an invalid ref database once any
other ref backend lands.
Refactor the code to instead use `refs_init_db()` to initialize the ref
database so that git-worktree(1) itself does not need to know about how
to initialize it. This will allow future ref backends to customize how
the per-worktree ref database is set up. Furthermore, as we now already
have a worktree ref store around, we can also avoid spawning external
commands to write the HEAD reference and instead use the refs API to do
so.
Note that we do not have an equivalent to passing the `--quiet` flag to
git-symbolic-ref(1) as we did before. This flag does not have an effect
anyway though, as git-symbolic-ref(1) only honors it when reading a
symref, but never when writing one.
