This branch allows third-party tools to call `git status
--no-lock-index` to avoid lock contention with the interactive Git usage
of the actual human user.

Just like with other Git commands, this option makes it read the paths
from the standard input. It comes in handy when resetting many, many
paths at once and wildcards are not an option (e.g. when the paths are
generated by a tool).
Note: we first parse the entire list and perform the actual reset action
only in a second phase. Not only does this make things simpler, it also
helps performance, as do_diff_cache() traverses the index and the
(sorted) pathspecs in simultaneously to avoid unnecessary lookups.
This feature is marked experimental because it is still under review in
the upstream Git project.

This is a brown paper bag. When adding the tests, we actually failed
to verify that the config variable is heeded in git-init at all. And
when changing the original patch that marked the .git/ directory as
hidden after reading the config, it was lost on this developer that
the new code would use the hide_dotfiles variable before the config
was read.
The fix is obvious: read the (limited, pre-init) config *before*
creating the .git/ directory.

When a third-party tool periodically runs `git status` in order to keep
track of the state of the working tree, it is a bad idea to lock the
index: it might interfere with interactive commands executed by the
user, e.g. when the user wants to commit files.
Let's introduce the option `--no-lock-index` to prevent such problems.
The idea is that the third-party tool calls `git status` with this
option, preventing it from ever updating the index.
The downside is that the periodic `git status` calls will be a little
bit more wasteful because they may have to refresh the index repeatedly,
only to throw away the updates when it exits. This cannot really be
helped, though, as tools wanting to get a periodic update of the status
have no way to predict when the user may want to lock the index herself.
Note that the regression test added in this commit does not *really*
verify that no index.lock file was written; that test is not possible in
a portable way. Instead, we verify that .git/index is rewritten *only*
when `git status` is run without `--no-lock-index`.

On Windows, files cannot be removed nor renamed if there are still
handles held by a process. To remedy that, we introduced the
close_all_packs() function.
Earlier, we made sure that the packs are released just before `git gc`
is spawned, in case that gc wants to remove no-longer needed packs.
But this developer forgot that gc itself also needs to let go of packs,
e.g. when consolidating all packs via the --aggressive option.
Likewise, `git repack -d` wants to delete obsolete packs and therefore
needs to close all pack handles, too.

For performance reasons `stdout` is not unbuffered by default. That leads
to problems if after printing to `stdout` a read on `stdin` is performed.
For that reason interactive commands like `git clean -i` do not function
properly anymore if the `stdout` is not flushed by `fflush(stdout)` before
trying to read from `stdin`.
In the case of `git clean -i` all reads on `stdin` were preceded by a
`fflush(stdout)` call.

The final() function accepts a NULL value for certain
parameters, and falls back to writing into a reusable "name"
buffer, and then either:
1. For "keep_name", requiring all uses to do "keep_name ?
keep_name : name.buf". This is awkward, and it's easy
to accidentally look at the maybe-NULL keep_name.
2. For "final_index_name" and "final_pack_name", aliasing
those pointers to the "name" buffer. This is easier to
use, but the aliased pointers become invalid after the
buffer is reused (this isn't a bug now, but it's a
potential pitfall).
One way to make this safer would be to introduce an extra
pointer to do the aliasing, and have its lifetime match the
validity of the "name" buffer. But it's still easy to
accidentally use the wrong name (i.e., to use
"final_pack_name" instead of the aliased pointer).
Instead, let's use three separate buffers that will remain
valid through the function. That makes it safe to alias the
pointers and use them consistently. The extra allocations
shouldn't matter, as this function is not performance
sensitive.

In several places we write the name of the pack filename
into a fixed-size buffer using snprintf(), but do not check
the return value. As a result, a very long object directory
could cause us to quietly truncate the pack filename
(potentially leading to a corrupted repository, as a newly
written packfile could be missing its .pack extension).
We can use odb_pack_name() to do this with a strbuf (and
shorten the code, as well).

The odb_pack_keep() function generates the name of a .keep
file and opens it. This has two problems:
1. It requires a fixed-size buffer to create the filename
and doesn't notice when the result is truncated.
2. Of the two callers, one sometimes wants to open a
filename it already has, which makes things awkward (it
has to do so manually, and skips the leading-directory
creation).
Instead, let's have odb_pack_keep() just open the file.
Generating the name isn't hard, and a future patch will
switch callers over to odb_pack_name() anyway.

All of these options do the same thing "--foo" iterates over
the "foo" refs, and "--foo=<glob>" does the same with a
glob. We can factor this into its own function to avoid
repeating ourselves.
There are two subtleties to note:
- the original called for_each_branch_ref(), etc, in the
non-glob case. Now we will call for_each_ref_in("refs/heads/")
which is exactly what for_each_branch_ref() did under
the hood.
- for --glob, we'll call for_each_glob_ref_in() with a
NULL "prefix" argument. Which is exactly what
for_each_glob_ref() was doing already.
So both cases should behave identically, and it seems
reasonable to assume that this will remain the same. The
functions we are calling now are the more-generic ones, and
the ones we are dropping are just convenience wrappers.

We can't just use a bare skip_prefix() for these cases,
because we need to match both the "--foo" form and the
"--foo=<value>" form (and tell the difference between the
two in the caller).
We can wrap this in a simple helper which has two obvious
callsites, and will gain some more in the next patch.
Note that the error output for abbrev-ref changes slightly,
as we don't keep our original "arg" pointer. However, the
new output should hopefully be more clear:

fatal: unknown mode for --abbrev-ref=foo
[after]

In 4ac9006f83 (real_path: have callers use real_pathdup and
strbuf_realpath, 2016-12-12), we changed the xstrdup(real_path())
pattern to use real_pathdup() directly.
The problem with this change is that real_path() calls
strbuf_realpath() with die_on_error = 1 while real_pathdup() calls
it with die_on_error = 0. Meaning that in cases where real_path()
causes Git to die() with an error message, real_pathdup() is silent
and returns NULL instead.
The callers, however, are ill-prepared for that change, as they expect
the return value to be non-NULL (and otherwise the function died
with an appropriate error message).
Fix this by extending real_pathdup()'s signature to accept the
die_on_error flag and simply pass it through to strbuf_realpath(),
and then adjust all callers after a careful audit whether they would
handle NULLs well.

The err_fd descriptor passed to the unpack() function is
intended to be handed off to the child index-pack, and our
async muxer will read until it gets EOF. However, if we
encounter an error before handing off the descriptor, we
must manually close(err_fd). Otherwise we will be waiting
for our muxer to finish, while the muxer is waiting for EOF
on err_fd.
We fixed an identical deadlock already in 49ecfa13f

When we parse "git checkout $NAME", we try to interpret
$NAME as a local branch-name. If it is, then we point HEAD
to that branch. Otherwise, we detach the HEAD at whatever
commit $NAME points to.
We do the interpretation by calling strbuf_branchname(), and
then blindly sticking "refs/heads/" on the front. This leads
to nonsense results when expansions like "@{upstream}" or
"@" point to something besides a local branch. We end up
with a local branch name like "refs/heads/origin/master" or
"refs/heads/HEAD".
Normally this has no user-visible effect because those
branches don't exist, and so we fallback to feeding the
result to get_sha1(), which resolves them correctly.
But as the new test in t3204 shows, there are corner cases
where the effect is observable, and we check out the wrong
local branch rather than detaching to the correct one.

We use strbuf_branchname() to expand the branch name from
the command line, so you can delete the branch given by
@{-1}, for example. However, we allow other nonsense like
"@", and we do not respect our "-r" flag (so we may end up
deleting an oddly-named local ref instead of a remote one).

The interpret_branch_name() function converts names like
@{-1} and @{upstream} into branch names. The expanded ref
names are not fully qualified, and may be outside of the
refs/heads/ namespace (e.g., "@" expands to "HEAD", and
"@{upstream}" is likely to be in "refs/remotes/").
This is OK for callers like dwim_ref() which are primarily
interested in resolving the resulting name, no matter where
it is. But callers like "git branch" treat the result as a
branch name in refs/heads/. When we expand to a ref outside
that namespace, the results are very confusing (e.g., "git
branch @" tries to create refs/heads/HEAD, which is
nonsense).
Callers can't know from the returned string how the
expansion happened (e.g., did the user really ask for a
branch named "HEAD", or did we do a bogus expansion?). One
fix would be to return some out-parameters describing the
types of expansion that occurred. This has the benefit that
the caller can generate precise error messages ("I
understood @{upstream} to mean origin/master, but that is a
remote tracking branch, so you cannot create it as a local
name").
However, out-parameters make the function interface somewhat
cumbersome. Instead, let's do the opposite: let the caller
tell us which elements to expand. That's easier to pass in,
and none of the callers give more precise error messages
than "@{upstream} isn't a valid branch name" anyway (which
should be sufficient).
The strbuf_branchname() function needs a similar parameter,
as most of the callers access interpret_branch_name()
through it.
We can break the callers down into two groups:
1. Callers that are happy with any kind of ref in the
result. We pass "0" here, so they continue to work
without restrictions. This includes merge_name(),
the reflog handling in add_pending_object_with_path(),
and substitute_branch_name(). This last is what powers
dwim_ref().
2. Callers that have funny corner cases (mostly in
git-branch and git-checkout). These need to make use of
the new parameter, but I've left them as "0" in this
patch, and will address them individually in follow-on
patches.

git-grep has always disallowed grepping in a tree (as
opposed to the working directory) with both --untracked
and --no-index. But we traditionally did so by first
collecting the revs, and then complaining when any were
provided.
The --no-index option recently learned to detect revs
much earlier. This has two user-visible effects:
- we don't bother to resolve revision names at all. So
when there's a rev/path ambiguity, we always choose to
treat it as a path.
- likewise, when you do specify a revision without "--",
the error you get is "no such path" and not "--untracked
cannot be used with revs".
The rationale for doing this with --no-index is that it is
meant to be used outside a repository, and so parsing revs
at all does not make sense.
This patch gives --untracked the same treatment. While it
_is_ meant to be used in a repository, it is explicitly
about grepping the non-repository contents. Telling the user
"we found a rev, but you are not allowed to use revs" is
not really helpful compared to "we treated your argument as
a path, and could not find it".

Before that we used readlink(), which took a maximum buffer
