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.

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 platfor-specific reasons.
This commit just creates the framework and adds a stub for Win32.

Create a built-in file system monitoring daemon that can be used by
the existing `fsmonitor` feature (protocol API and index extension)
to improve the performance of various Git commands, such as `status`.
The `fsmonitor--daemon` feature builds upon the `Simple IPC` API and
provides an alternative to hook access to existing fsmonitors such
as `watchman`.
This commit merely adds the new command without any functionality.

Move FSMonitor config settings to a new `struct fsmonitor_settings`
structure. Add a lazily-loaded pointer to `struct repo_settings`.
Create `fsm_settings__get_*()` getters to lazily look up fsmonitor-
related config settings.
Get rid of the `core_fsmonitor` global variable, and add support for
the new `core.useBuiltinFSMonitor` config setting. Move config code
to lookup the existing `core.fsmonitor` value to `fsmonitor-settings.[ch]`.
The `core_fsmonitor` global variable was used to store the pathname to
the FSMonitor hook and it was used as a boolean to see if FSMonitor
was enabled. This dual usage will lead to confusion when we add
support for a builtin FSMonitor based on IPC, since the builtin
FSMonitor doesn't need the hook pathname.
Replace the boolean usage with an `enum fsmonitor_mode` to represent
the state of FSMonitor. And only set the pathname when in HOOK mode.

On Windows, there are two kinds of executables, console ones and
non-console ones. Git's executables are all console ones.
When launching the former e.g. in a scheduled task, a CMD window pops
up. This is not what we want for the tasks installed via the `git
maintenance` command.
To work around this, let's introduce `headless-git.exe`, which is a
non-console program that does _not_ pop up any window. All it does is to
re-launch `git.exe`, suppressing that console window, passing through
all command-line arguments as-are.

The idea of Scalar (https://github.com/microsoft/scalar), and before
that, of VFS for Git, has always been to prove that Git _can_ scale, and
to upstream whatever strategies have been demonstrated to help.
With this patch, we start the journey from that C# project to move what
is left to Git's own `contrib/` directory, reimplementing it in pure C,
with the intention to facilitate integrating the functionality into core
Git all while maintaining backwards-compatibility for existing Scalar
users (which will be much easier when both live in the same worktree).
It has always been the plan to contribute all of the proven strategies
back to core Git.
For example, while the virtual filesystem provided by VFS for Git helped
the team developing the Windows operating system to move onto Git, while
trying to upstream it we realized that it cannot be done: getting the
virtual filesystem to work (which we only managed to implement fully on
Windows, but not on, say, macOS or Linux), and the required server-side
support for the GVFS protocol, made this not quite feasible.
The Scalar project learned from that and tackled the problem with
different tactics: instead of pretending to Git that the working
directory is fully populated, it _specifically_ teaches Git about
partial clone (which is based on VFS for Git's cache server), about
sparse checkout (which VFS for Git tried to do transparently, in the
file system layer), and regularly runs maintenance tasks to keep the
repository in a healthy state.
With partial clone, sparse checkout and `git maintenance` having been
upstreamed, there is little left that `scalar.exe` does which `git.exe`
cannot do. One such thing is that `scalar clone <url>` will
automatically set up a partial, sparse clone, and configure
known-helpful settings from the start.
So let's bring this convenience into Git's tree.
The idea here is that you can (optionally) build Scalar via
make -C contrib/scalar/
This will build the `scalar` executable and put it into the
contrib/scalar/ subdirectory.
The slightly awkward addition of the `contrib/scalar/*` bits to the
top-level `Makefile` are actually really required: we want to link to
`libgit.a`, which means that we will need to use the very same `CFLAGS`
and `LDFLAGS` as the rest of Git.
An early development version of this patch tried to replicate all the
conditional code in `contrib/scalar/Makefile` (e.g. `NO_POLL`) just like
`contrib/svn-fe/Makefile` used to do before it was retired. It turned
out to be quite the whack-a-mole game: the SHA-1-related flags, the
flags enabling/disabling `compat/poll/`, `compat/regex/`,
`compat/win32mmap.c` & friends depending on the current platform... To
put it mildly: it was a major mess.
Instead, this patch makes minimal changes to the top-level `Makefile` so
that the bits in `contrib/scalar/` can be compiled and linked, and
adds a `contrib/scalar/Makefile` that uses the top-level `Makefile` in a
most minimal way to do the actual compiling.
Note: With this commit, we only establish the infrastructure, no
Scalar functionality is implemented yet; We will do that incrementally
over the next few commits.

There are certain C99 features that might be nice to use in our code
base, but we've hesitated to do so in order to avoid breaking
compatibility with older compilers. But we don't actually know if
people are even using pre-C99 compilers these days.
One way to figure that out is to introduce a very small use of a
feature, and see if anybody complains, and we've done so to probe
the portability for a few features like "trailing comma in enum
declaration", "designated initializer for struct", and "designated
initializer for array". A few years ago, we tried to use a handy
for (int i = 0; i < n; i++)
use(i);
to introduce a new variable valid only in the loop, but found that
some compilers we cared about didn't like it back then. Two years
is a long-enough time, so let's try it again.
If this patch can survive a few releases without complaint, then we
can feel more confident that variable declaration in for() loop is
supported by the compilers our user base use. And if we do get
complaints, then we'll have gained some data and we can easily
revert this patch.

The C99 standard was released in January 1999, now 22 years ago. It
provides a variety of useful features, including variadic arguments for
macros, declarations after statements, designated initializers, and a
wide variety of other useful features, many of which we already use.
We'd like to take advantage of these features, but we want to be
cautious. As far as we know, all major compilers now support C99 or a
later C standard, such as C11 or C17. POSIX has required C99 support as
a requirement for the 2001 revision, so we can safely assume any POSIX
system which we are interested in supporting has C99.
Even MSVC, long a holdout against modern C, now supports both C11 and
C17 with an appropriate update. Moreover, even if people are using an
older version of MSVC on these systems, they will generally need some
implementation of the standard Unix utilities for the testsuite, and GNU
coreutils, the most common option, has required C99 since 2009.
Therefore, we can safely assume that a suitable version of GCC or clang
is available to users even if their version of MSVC is not sufficiently
capable.
Let's add a test balloon to git-compat-util.h to see if anyone is using
an older compiler. We'll add a comment telling people how to enable
this functionality on GCC and Clang, even though modern versions of both
will automatically do the right thing, and ask people still experiencing
a problem to report that to us on the list.
Note that C89 compilers don't provide the __STDC_VERSION__ macro, so we
use a well-known hack of using "- 0". On compilers with this macro, it
doesn't change the value, and on C89 compilers, the macro will be
replaced with nothing, and our value will be 0.
For sparse, we explicitly request the gnu99 style because we've
traditionally taken advantage of some GCC- and clang-specific extensions
when available and we'd like to retain the ability to do that. sparse
also defaults to C89 without it, so things will fail for us if we don't.
Update the cmake configuration to require C11 for MSVC. We do this
because this will make MSVC to use C11, since it does not explicitly
support C99. We do this with a compiler options because setting the
C_STANDARD option does not work in our CI on MSVC and at the moment, we
don't want to require C11 for Unix compilers.
In the Makefile, don't set any compiler flags for the compiler itself,
since on some systems, such as FreeBSD, we actually need C11, and asking
for C99 causes things to fail to compile. The error message should make
it obvious what's going wrong and allow a user to set the appropriate
option when building in the event they're using a Unix compiler that
doesn't support it by default.

Remove the sane_grep() shell function in git-sh-setup. The two reasons
for why it existed don't apply anymore:
1. It was added due to GNU grep supporting GREP_OPTIONS. See
e1622bfcba (Protect scripted Porcelains from GREP_OPTIONS insanity,
2009-11-23).
Newer versions of GNU grep ignore that, but even on older versions
its existence won't matter, none of these sane_grep() uses care
about grep's output, they're merely using it to check if a string
exists in a file or stream. We also don't care about the "LC_ALL=C"
that "sane_grep" was using, these greps for fixed or ASCII strings
will behave the same under any locale.
2. The SANE_TEXT_GREP added in 71b401032b (sane_grep: pass "-a" if
grep accepts it, 2016-03-08) isn't needed either, none of these grep
uses deal with binary data.
