On Windows, symbolic links actually have a type depending on the target:
it can be a file or a directory.
In certain circumstances, this poses problems, e.g. when a symbolic link
is supposed to point into a submodule that is not checked out, so there
is no way for Git to auto-detect the type.
To help with that, we will add support over the course of the next
commits to specify that symlink type via the Git attributes. This
requires an index_state, though, something that Git for Windows'
`symlink()` replacement cannot know about because the function signature
is defined by the POSIX standard and not ours to change.
So let's introduce a helper function to create symbolic links that
*does* know about the index_state.

I added flush_fscache macro to flush cached stats after disk writing

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.

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).

On Windows, Unix-like paths like `/bin/sh` make very little sense. In
the best case, they simply don't work, in the worst case they are
misinterpreted as absolute paths that are relative to the drive
associated with the current directory.
To that end, Git does not actually use the path `/bin/sh` that is
recorded e.g. when `run_command()` is called with a Unix shell
command-line. Instead, as of 776297548e (Do not use SHELL_PATH from
build system in prepare_shell_cmd on Windows, 2012-04-17), it
re-interprets `/bin/sh` as "look up `sh` on the `PATH` and use the
result instead".
This is the logic users expect to be followed when running `git var
GIT_SHELL_PATH`.
However, when 1e65721227 (var: add support for listing the shell,
2023-06-27) introduced support for `git var GIT_SHELL_PATH`, Windows was
not special-cased as above, which is why it outputs `/bin/sh` even
though that disagrees with what Git actually uses.
Let's fix this by using the exact same logic as `prepare_shell_cmd()`,
adjusting the Windows-specific `git var GIT_SHELL_PATH` test case to
verify that it actually finds a working executable.

When an end-user runs "git push" with an empty string for the remote
repository name, e.g.
$ git push '' main
"git push" fails with a BUG(). Even though this is a nonsense request
that we want to fail, we shouldn't hit a BUG(). Instead we want to give
a sensible error message, e.g., 'bad repository'".
This is because since 9badf97c42 (remote: allow resetting url list,
2024-06-14), we reset the remote URL if the provided URL is empty. When
a user of 'remotes_remote_get' tries to fetch a remote with an empty
repo name, the function initializes the remote via 'make_remote'. But
the remote is still not a valid remote, since the URL is empty, so it
tries to add the URL alias using 'add_url_alias'. This in-turn will call
'add_url', but since the URL is empty we call 'strvec_clear' on the
`remote->url`. Back in 'remotes_remote_get', we again check if the
remote is valid, which fails, so we return 'NULL' for the 'struct
remote *' value.
The 'builtin/push.c' code, calls 'set_refspecs' before validating the
remote. This worked with empty repo names earlier since we would get a
remote, albeit with an empty URL. With the new changes, we get a 'NULL'
remote value, this causes the check for remote to fail and raises the
BUG in 'set_refspecs'.
Do a simple fix by doing remote validation first. Also add a test to
validate the bug fix. With this, we can also now directly pass remote to
'set_refspecs' instead of it trying to lazily obtain it.

Use of the `the_repository` variable is deprecated nowadays, and we
slowly but steadily convert the codebase to not use it anymore. Instead,
callers should be passing down the repository to work on via parameters.
It is hard though to prove that a given code unit does not use this
variable anymore. The most trivial case, merely demonstrating that there
is no direct use of `the_repository`, is already a bit of a pain during
code reviews as the reviewer needs to manually verify claims made by the
patch author. The bigger problem though is that we have many interfaces
that implicitly rely on `the_repository`.
Introduce a new `USE_THE_REPOSITORY_VARIABLE` macro that allows code
units to opt into usage of `the_repository`. The intent of this macro is
to demonstrate that a certain code unit does not use this variable
anymore, and to keep it from new dependencies on it in future changes,
be it explicit or implicit
For now, the macro only guards `the_repository` itself as well as
`the_hash_algo`. There are many more known interfaces where we have an
implicit dependency on `the_repository`, but those are not guarded at
the current point in time. Over time though, we should start to add
guards as required (or even better, just remove them).
Define the macro as required in our code units. As expected, most of our
code still relies on the global variable. Nearly all of our builtins
rely on the variable as there is no way yet to pass `the_repository` to
their entry point. For now, declare the macro in "biultin.h" to keep the
required changes at least a little bit more contained.

drop the variants that do not accept one.
As those functions are now independent of `the_repository`, we can move
them from "hash.h" to "hash-ll.h".
Note that both in this and subsequent commits in this series we always
just pass `the_repository->hash_algo` as input even if it is obvious
that there is a repository in the context that we should be using the
hash from instead. This is done to be on the safe side and not introduce

When we want to know the push urls for a remote, there is some simple
logic:
- if the user configured any remote.*.pushurl keys, then those make
the complete set of push urls
- otherwise we push to all urls in remote.*.url
Many spots implement this with a level of indirection, assigning to a
local url/url_nr pair. But since both arrays are now strvecs, we can
just use a pointer to select the appropriate strvec, shortening the code
a bit.
Even though this is now a one-liner, since it is application logic that
is present in so many places, it's worth abstracting a helper function.
In fact, we already have such a function, but it's local to
builtin/push.c. So we'll just make it available everywhere via remote.h.
There are two spots to pay special attention to here:
1. in builtin/remote.c's get_url(), we are selecting first based on
push_mode and then falling back to "url" when we're in push_mode
but no pushurl is defined. The updated code makes that much more
clear, compared to the original which had an "else" fall-through.
2. likewise in that file's set_url(), we _only_ respect push_mode,
sine the point is that we are adding to pushurl in that case
(whether it is empty or not). And thus it does not use our helper
function.

Now that the url/pushurl fields of "struct remote" own their strings, we
can switch from bare arrays to strvecs. This has a few advantages:
- push/clear are now one-liners
- likewise the free+assigns in alias_all_urls() can use
strvec_replace()
- we now use size_t for storage, avoiding possible overflow
- this will enable some further cleanups in future patches
There's quite a bit of fallout in the code that reads these fields, as
it tends to access these arrays directly. But it's mostly a mechanical
replacement of "url_nr" with "url.nr", and "url[i]" with "url.v[i]",
with a few variations (e.g. "*url" could become "*url.v", but I used
"url.v[0]" for consistency).
