This introduces `git survey` to Git for Windows ahead of upstream for
the express purpose of getting the path-based analysis in the hands of
more folks.
The inspiration of this builtin is
[`git-sizer`](https://github.com/github/git-sizer), but since that
command relies on `git cat-file --batch` to get the contents of objects,
it has limits to how much information it can provide.
This is mostly a rewrite of the `git survey` builtin that was introduced
into the `microsoft/git` fork in microsoft/git#667. That version had a
lot more bells and whistles, including an analysis much closer to what
`git-sizer` provides.
The biggest difference in this version is that this one is focused on
using the path-walk API in order to visit batches of objects based on a
common path. This allows identifying, for instance, the path that is
contributing the most to the on-disk size across all versions at that
path.
For example, here are the top ten paths contributing to my local Git
repository (which includes `microsoft/git` and `gitster/git`):
```

This kind of analysis has been helpful in identifying the reasons for
growth in a few internal monorepos. Those findings motivated the changes
in #5157 and #5171.
With this early version in Git for Windows, we can expand the reach of
the experimental tool in advance of it being contributed to the upstream
project.
Unfortunately, this will mean that in the next `microsoft/git` rebase,
Jeff Hostetler's version will need to be pulled out since there are
enough conflicts. These conflicts include how tables are stored and
generated, as the version in this PR is slightly more general to allow
for different kinds of data.

Start work on a new 'git survey' command to scan the repository
for monorepo performance and scaling problems. The goal is to
measure the various known "dimensions of scale" and serve as a
foundation for adding additional measurements as we learn more
about Git monorepo scaling problems.
The initial goal is to complement the scanning and analysis performed
by the GO-based 'git-sizer' (https://github.com/github/git-sizer) tool.
It is hoped that by creating a builtin command, we may be able to take
advantage of internal Git data structures and code that is not
accessible from GO to gain further insight into potential scaling
problems.

Atomic append on windows is only supported on local disk files, and it may
cause errors in other situations, e.g. network file system. If that is the
case, this config option should be used to turn atomic append off.

Since commit 0c499ea60f (send-pack: demultiplex a sideband stream with
status data, 2010-02-05) the send-pack builtin uses the side-band-64k
capability if advertised by the server.
Unfortunately this breaks pushing over the dump git protocol if used
over a network connection.
The detailed reasons for this breakage are (by courtesy of Jeff Preshing,
quoted from https://groups.google.com/d/msg/msysgit/at8D7J-h7mw/eaLujILGUWoJ):
MinGW wraps Windows sockets in CRT file descriptors in order to
mimic the functionality of POSIX sockets. This causes msvcrt.dll
to treat sockets as Installable File System (IFS) handles,
calling ReadFile, WriteFile, DuplicateHandle and CloseHandle on
them. This approach works well in simple cases on recent
versions of Windows, but does not support all usage patterns. In
particular, using this approach, any attempt to read & write
concurrently on the same socket (from one or more processes)
will deadlock in a scenario where the read waits for a response
from the server which is only invoked after the write. This is
what send_pack currently attempts to do in the use_sideband
codepath.
The new config option `sendpack.sideband` allows to override the
side-band-64k capability of the server, and thus makes the dumb git
protocol work.
Other transportation methods like ssh and http/https still benefit from
the sideband channel, therefore the default value of `sendpack.sideband`
is still true.

The preceding commit fixed the vulnerability whereas sideband messages
(that are under the control of the remote server) could contain ANSI
escape sequences that would be sent to the terminal verbatim.
However, this fix may not be desirable under all circumstances, e.g.
when remote servers deliberately add coloring to their messages to
increase their urgency.
To help with those use cases, give users a way to opt-out of the
protections: `sideband.allowControlCharacters`.

Configuration variables that take a pathname as a value
(e.g. blame.ignorerevsfile) can be marked as optional by prefixing
":(optoinal)" before its value.
* jc/optional-path:
parseopt: values of pathname type can be prefixed with :(optional)
config: values of pathname type can be prefixed with :(optional)
t7500: fix GIT_EDITOR shell snippet
t7500: make each piece more independent
Sometimes people want to specify additional configuration data
as "best effort" basis. Maybe commit.template configuration file points
at somewhere in ~/template/ but on a particular system, the file may not
exist and the user may be OK without using the template in such a case.
When the value given to a configuration variable whose type is
pathname wants to signal such an optional file, it can be marked by
prepending ":(optional)" in front of it. Such a setting that is
marked optional would avoid getting the command barf for a missing
file, as an optional configuration setting that names a missing
file is not even seen.

All the documentation .txt files have been renamed to .adoc to help
content aware editors.
* bc/doc-adoc-not-txt:
Remove obsolete ".txt" extensions for AsciiDoc files
doc: use .adoc extension for AsciiDoc files
gitattributes: mark AsciiDoc files as LF-only
editorconfig: add .adoc extension
doc: update gitignore for .adoc extension
We presently use the ".txt" extension for our AsciiDoc files. While not
wrong, most editors do not associate this extension with AsciiDoc,
meaning that contributors don't get automatic editor functionality that
could be useful, such as syntax highlighting and prose linting.
It is much more common to use the ".adoc" extension for AsciiDoc files,
since this helps editors automatically detect files and also allows
various forges to provide rich (HTML-like) rendering. Let's do that
here, renaming all of the files and updating the includes where
relevant. Adjust the various build scripts and makefiles to use the new
extension as well.
Note that this should not result in any user-visible changes to the
documentation.
