Teach Git to perform binary search over the cache-entries for a directory
notification and then linearly scan forward to find the immediate children.
Previously, when the FSMonitor reported a modified directory Git would
perform a linear search on the entire cache-entry array for all
entries matching that directory prefix and invalidate them. Since the
cache-entry array is already sorted, we can use a binary search to
find the first matching entry and then only linearly walk forward and
invalidate entries until the prefix changes.
Also, the original code would invalidate anything having the same
directory prefix. Since a directory event should only be received for
items that are immediately within the directory (and not within
sub-directories of it), only invalidate those entries and not the
whole subtree.

Teach the listener thread to shutdown the daemon if the spelling of the
worktree root directory changes.

Force shutdown fsmonitor daemon if the worktree root directory
is moved, renamed, or deleted.
Use Windows low-level GetFileInformationByHandle() to get and
compare the Windows system unique ID for the directory with a
cached version when we started up. This lets us detect the
case where someone renames the directory that we are watching
and then creates a new directory with the original pathname.
This is important because we are listening to a named pipe for
requests and they are stored in the Named Pipe File System (NPFS)
which a kernel-resident pseudo filesystem not associated with
the actual NTFS directory.
For example, if the daemon was watching "~/foo/", it would have
a directory-watch handle on that directory and a named-pipe
handle for "//./pipe/...foo". Moving the directory to "~/bar/"
does not invalidate the directory handle. (So the daemon would
actually be watching "~/bar" but listening on "//./pipe/...foo".
If the user then does "git init ~/foo" and causes another daemon
to start, the first daemon will still have ownership of the pipe
and the second daemon instance will fail to start. "git status"
clients in "~/foo" will ask "//./pipe/...foo" about changes and
the first daemon instance will tell them about "~/bar".
This commit causes the first daemon to shutdown if the system unique
ID for "~/foo" changes (changes from what it was when the daemon
started). Shutdown occurs after a periodic poll. After the
first daemon exits and releases the lock on the named pipe,
subsequent Git commands may cause another daemon to be started
on "~/foo". Similarly, a subsequent Git command may cause another
daemon to be started on "~/bar".

Create another thread to watch over the daemon process and
automatically shut it down if necessary.
This commit creates the basic framework for a "health" thread
to monitor the daemon and/or the file system. Later commits
will add platform-specific code to do the actual work.
The "health" thread is intended to monitor conditions that
would be difficult to track inside the IPC thread pool and/or
the file system listener threads. For example, when there are
file system events outside of the watched worktree root or if
we want to have an idle-timeout auto-shutdown feature.
This commit creates the health thread itself, defines the thread-proc
and sets up the thread's event loop. It integrates this new thread
into the existing IPC and Listener thread models.
This commit defines the API to the platform-specific code where all of
the monitoring will actually happen.
The platform-specific code for MacOS is just stubs. Meaning that the
health thread will immediately exit on MacOS, but that is OK and
expected. Future work can define MacOS-specific monitoring.
The platform-specific code for Windows sets up enough of the
WaitForMultipleObjects() machinery to watch for system and/or custom
events. Currently, the set of wait handles only includes our custom
shutdown event (sent from our other theads). Later commits in this
series will extend the set of wait handles to monitor other
conditions.

VFS for Git virtual repositories are incompatible with FSMonitor.
VFS for Git is a downstream fork of Git. It contains its own custom

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 "FUNNYNAMES" test prerequisite passes on Cygwin, as the Cygwin
file system interface has a workaround for the underlying operating
system's lack of support for tabs, newlines or quotes. However, it does
not add support for backslash, which is treated as a directory
separator, meaning one of the tests added by 48803821b1 ("completion:
handle unusual characters for sparse-checkout", 2022-02-07) will fail on
Cygwin.
To avoid this failure while still getting maximal test coverage, split
that test into two: test handling of paths that include tabs on anything
that has the FUNNYNAMES prerequisite, but skip testing handling of paths
that include backslashes unless both FUNNYNAMES is set and the system is
not Cygwin.
It might be nice to have more granularity than "FUNNYNAMES" and its
sibling "FUNNIERNAMES" provide, so that tests could be run based on
specific individual characters supported by the file system being
tested, but that seems like it would make the prerequisite checks in
this area much more verbose for very little gain.

Under certain (not quite easy to force, apparently) circumstances, a Git

another Git process that then _also_ warns about that config setting.
Let's try to tone that down by setting an environment variable that
indicates that this process and all of its children no longer need to
tell the user about this deprecation.
Note: This patch does not help in situations where, say, scripts call
Git multiple times and each of those times Git prints this deprecation
notice. It is unclear whether we can do anything about this because
those Git processes would have to signal to their _parent_ process that
the advice was already provided.

Fix a regression in my dad9cd7d51 (Makefile: move ".SUFFIXES" rule to
shared.mak, 2022-03-03). As explained in the GNU make documentation
for the $* variable, available at:
info make --index-search='$*'
This rule relied on ".texi" being in the default list of suffixes, as
seen at:
make -f/dev/null -p | grep -v -e ^# -e ^$|grep -F .SUFFIXES
The documentation explains what was going on here:
In an explicit rule, there is no stem; so '$*' cannot be determined
in that way. Instead, if the target name ends with a recognized
suffix (*note Old-Fashioned Suffix Rules: Suffix Rules.), '$*' is
set to the target name minus the suffix. For example, if the
target name is 'foo.c', then '$*' is set to 'foo', since '.c' is a
suffix. GNU 'make' does this bizarre thing only for compatibility
with other implementations of 'make'. You should generally avoid
using '$*' except in implicit rules or static pattern rules.
If the target name in an explicit rule does not end with a
recognized suffix, '$*' is set to the empty string for that rule.
I.e. this rule added back in 5cefc33bff (Documentation: add
gitman.info target, 2007-12-10) was resolving gitman.texi from
gitman.info. We can instead just use the more obvious $< variable
referring to the prerequisite.
This was the only use of $* in our Makefiles in an explicit rule, the
three remaining ones are all implicit rules, and therefore didn't
depend on the ".SUFFIXES" list.
