On MacOS mark repos on NTFS or FAT32 volumes as incompatible.
The builtin FSMonitor used Unix domain sockets on MacOS for IPC
with clients. These sockets are kept in the .git directory.
Unix sockets are not supported by NTFS and FAT32, so the daemon
cannot start up.
Test for this during our compatibility checking so that client
commands do not keep trying to start the daemon.

VFS for Git virtual repositories are incompatible with FSMonitor.
VFS for Git is a downstream fork of Git. It contains its own custom
file system watcher that is aware of the virtualization. If a working
directory is being managed by VFS for Git, we should not try to watch
it because we may get incomplete results.
We do not know anything about how VFS for Git works, but we do
know that VFS for Git working directories contain a well-defined
config setting. If it is set, mark the working directory as
incompatible.

Extend generic incompatibility checkout with platform-specific
mechanism. Stub in Win32 version.
In the existing fsmonitor-settings code we have a way to mark
types of repos as incompatible with fsmonitor (whether via the
hook and IPC APIs). For example, we do this for bare repos,
since there are no files to watch.
Extend this exclusion mechanism for platform-specific reasons.
This commit just creates the framework and adds a stub for Win32.

Create a stress test to hammer on the fsmonitor daemon.
Create a client-side thread pool of n threads and have
each of them make m requests as fast as they can.
We do not currently inspect the contents of the response.
We're only interested in placing a heavy request load on
the daemon.
This test is useful for interactive testing and various
experimentation. For example, to place additional load
on the daemon while another test is running. We currently
do not have a test script that actually uses this helper.
We might add such a test in the future.

Teach FSMonitor daemon on Windows to recognize shortname paths as
aliases of normal longname paths. FSMonitor clients, such as `git
status`, should receive the longname spelling of changed files (when
possible).
Sometimes we receive FS events using the shortname, such as when a CMD
shell runs "RENAME GIT~1 FOO" or "RMDIR GIT~1". The FS notification
arrives using whatever combination of long and shortnames were used by
the other process. (Shortnames do seem to be case normalized,
however.)
Use Windows GetLongPathNameW() to try to map the pathname spelling in
the notification event into the normalized longname spelling. (This
can fail if the file/directory is deleted, moved, or renamed, because
we are asking the FS for the mapping in response to the event and
after it has already happened, but we try.)
Special case the shortname spelling of ".git" to avoid under-reporting
these events.

The first three commits are rebased versions of those in gitgitgadget/git#1215. These allow the following:
1. Fix `git config --global foo.bar <path>` from allowing the `<path>`. As a bonus, users with a config value starting with `/` will not get a warning about "old-style" paths needing a "`%(prefix)/`".
2. When in WSL, the path starts with `/` so it needs to be interpolated properly. Update the warning to include `%(prefix)/` to get the right value for WSL users. (This is specifically for using Git for Windows from Git Bash, but in a WSL directory.)
3. When using WSL, the ownership check fails and reports an error message. This is noisy, and happens even if the user has marked the path with `safe.directory`. Remove that error message.
After attempting to add directory on a network share to the `safe.directory` configuration with, for example:
```
git config --global --add safe.directory //servername/repos/myrepo
```
The warning about an outdated path style:
```
warning: encountered old-style '//servername/repos/myrepo' that should be '%(prefix)//servername/repos/myrepo'
```
However, the warning is missing a trailing `/` behind the prefix.
This PR fixes the warning such that the resulting configuration works.

In the case of Git for Windows (say, in a Git Bash window) running in a
Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) directory, the GetNamedSecurityInfoW()
call in is_path_owned_By_current_side() returns an error code other than
ERROR_SUCCESS. This is consistent behavior across this boundary.
In these cases, the owner would always be different because the WSL
owner is a different entity than the Windows user.
The change here is to suppress the error message that looks like this:
error: failed to get owner for '//wsl.localhost/...' (1)
Before this change, this warning happens for every Git command,
regardless of whether the directory is marked with safe.directory.

With the addition of the safe.directory in 8959555ce
(setup_git_directory(): add an owner check for the top-level directory,
2022-03-02) released in v2.35.2, we are receiving feedback from a
variety of users about the feature.
Some users have a very large list of shared repositories and find it
cumbersome to add this config for every one of them.
In a more difficult case, certain workflows involve running Git commands
within containers. The container boundary prevents any global or system
config from communicating `safe.directory` values from the host into the
container. Further, the container almost always runs as a different user
than the owner of the directory in the host.
To simplify the reactions necessary for these users, extend the
definition of the safe.directory config value to include a possible '*'
value. This value implies that all directories are safe, providing a
single setting to opt-out of this protection.
Note that an empty assignment of safe.directory clears all previous
values, and this is already the case with the "if (!value || !*value)"
condition.

It seems that nothing is ever checking to make sure the safe directories
in the configs actually have the key safe.directory, so some unrelated
config that has a value with a certain directory would also make it a
safe directory.

It is difficult to change the ownership on a directory in our test
suite, so insert a new GIT_TEST_ASSUME_DIFFERENT_OWNER environment
variable to trick Git into thinking we are in a differently-owned
directory. This allows us to test that the config is parsed correctly.

When an Administrator creates a file or directory, the created
file/directory is owned not by the Administrator SID, but by the
_Administrators Group_ SID. The reason is that users with administrator
privileges usually run in unprivileged ("non-elevated") mode, and their
user SID does not change when running in elevated mode.
This is is relevant e.g. when running a GitHub workflow on a build
agent, which runs in elevated mode: cloning a Git repository in a script
step will cause the worktree to be owned by the Administrators Group
SID, for example.
Let's handle this case as following: if the current user is an
administrator, Git should consider a worktree owned by the
Administrators Group as if it were owned by said user.

Git will die if a "rebase --preserve-merges" is in progress.
Users cannot --quit, --abort or --continue the rebase.
This sceario can occur if the user updates their Git, or switches
to another newer version, after starting a preserve-merges rebase,
commonly via the pull setting.
One trigger is an unexpectedly difficult to resolve conflict, as
reported on the `git-users` group.
(https://groups.google.com/g/git-for-windows/c/3jMWbBlXXHM)
Tell the user the cause, i.e. the existence of the directory.
The problem must be resolved manually, `git rebase --<option>`
commands will die, or the user must downgrade. Also, note that
the deleted options are no longer shown in the documentation.

This topic branch re-adds the deprecated --stdin/-z options to `git
reset`. Those patches were overridden by a different set of options in
the upstream Git project before we could propose `--stdin`.
We offered this in MinGit to applications that wanted a safer way to
pass lots of pathspecs to Git, and these applications will need to be
adjusted.
Instead of `--stdin`, `--pathspec-from-file=-` should be used, and
instead of `-z`, `--pathspec-file-nul`.

Rather than using private IFTTT Applets that send mails to this
maintainer whenever a new version of a Git for Windows component was
released, let's use the power of GitHub workflows to make this process
publicly visible.
This workflow monitors the Atom/RSS feeds, and opens a ticket whenever a
new version was released.
Note: Bash sometimes releases multiple patched versions within a few
minutes of each other (i.e. 5.1p1 through 5.1p4, 5.0p15 and 5.0p16). The
MSYS2 runtime also has a similar system. We can address those patches as
a group, so we shouldn't get multiple issues about them.
Note further: We're not acting on newlib releases, OpenSSL alphas, Perl
release candidates or non-stable Perl releases. There's no need to open
issues about them.

The `--stdin` option was a well-established paradigm in other commands,
therefore we implemented it in `git reset` for use by Visual Studio.
Unfortunately, upstream Git decided that it is time to introduce
`--pathspec-from-file` instead.
To keep backwards-compatibility for some grace period, we therefore
reinstate the `--stdin` option on top of the `--pathspec-from-file`
option, but mark it firmly as deprecated.

It was a bad idea to just remove that option from Git for Windows
v2.15.0, as early users of that (still experimental) option would have
been puzzled what they are supposed to do now.
So let's reintroduce the flag, but make sure to show the user good
advice how to fix this going forward.
We'll remove this option in a more orderly fashion when we're certain
that the option is no longer used (previous Visual Studio versions
relied on it).
The option is deprecated now, therefore we make sure that keeps saying
so until we finally remove it.
