Pull out a common function that allows us to iterate over all objects in
a repository. Right now the logic is trivial and would only require two
function calls, making this refactoring a bit pointless. But in the next
commit we will iterate on this logic to make use of bitmaps, so this is
about to become a bit more complex.

Implement support for the "blob:none" filter in git-cat-file(1), which
causes us to omit all blobs.
Note that this new filter requires us to read the object type via
`oid_object_info_extended()` in `batch_object_write()`. But as we try to
optimize away reading objects from the database the `data->info.typep`
pointer may not be set. We thus have to adapt the logic to conditionally
set the pointer in cases where the filter is given.

In batch mode, git-cat-file(1) enumerates all objects and prints them
by iterating through both loose and packed objects. This works without
considering their reachability at all, and consequently most options to
filter objects as they exist in e.g. git-rev-list(1) are not applicable.
In some situations it may still be useful though to filter objects based
on properties that are inherent to them. This includes the object size
as well as its type.
Such a filter already exists in git-rev-list(1) with the `--filter=`
command line option. While this option supports a couple of filters that
are not applicable to our usecase, some of them are quite a neat fit.
Wire up the filter as an option for git-cat-file(1). This allows us to
reuse the same syntax as in git-rev-list(1) so that we don't have to
reinvent the wheel. For now, we die when any of the filter options has
been passed by the user, but they will be wired up in subsequent
commits.
Further note that the filters that we are about to introduce don't
significantly speed up the runtime of git-cat-file(1). While we can skip
emitting a lot of objects in case they are uninteresting to us, the
majority of time is spent reading the packfile, which is bottlenecked by
I/O and not the processor. This will change though once we start to make
use of bitmaps, which will allow us to skip reading the whole packfile.

We have multiple callsites that report the status of an object, for
example when the objec tis missing or its name is ambiguous. We're about
to add a couple more such callsites to report on "excluded" objects.
Prepare for this by introducing a new function `report_object_status()`
that encapsulates the functionality.
Note that this function also flushes stdout, which is a requirement so
that request-response style batched modes can learn about the status
before proceeding to the next object. We already flush correctly at all
existing callsites, even though the flush in `batch_one_object()` only
comes after the switch statement. That flush is now redundant, and we
could in theory deduplicate it by moving it into all branches that don't
use `report_object_status()`. But that doesn't quite feel sensible:
- The duplicate flush should ultimately just be a no-op for us and
thus shouldn't impact performance significantly.
- By keeping the flush in `report_object_status()` we ensure that all
future callers get semantics correct.
So let's just be pragmatic and live with the duplicated flush.

Now that the pack-bitmap machinery has learned how to read and interact
with an incremental MIDX bitmap, teach the pack-bitmap-write.c machinery
(and relevant callers from within the MIDX machinery) to write such
bitmaps.
The details for doing so are mostly straightforward. The main changes
are as follows:
- find_object_pos() now makes use of an extra MIDX parameter which is
used to locate the bit positions of objects which are from previous
layers (and thus do not exist in the current layer's pack_order
field).
(Note also that the pack_order field is moved into struct
write_midx_context to further simplify the callers for
write_midx_bitmap()).
- bitmap_writer_build_type_index() first determines how many objects
precede the current bitmap layer and offsets the bits it sets in
each respective type-level bitmap by that amount so they can be OR'd
together.

In 3f763ddf28 (fetch: set remote/HEAD if it does not exist, 2024-11-22),
unconditionally adds "HEAD" to the list of ref prefixes we send to the
server.
This breaks a core assumption that the list of prefixes we send to the
server is complete. We must either send all prefixes we care about, or
none at all (in the latter case the server then advertises everything).
The tag following code is careful to only add "refs/tags/" to the list
of prefixes if there are already entries in the prefix list. But because
the new code from 3f763ddf28 runs after the tag code, and because it
unconditionally adds to the prefix list, we may end up with a prefix
list that _should_ have "refs/tags/" in it, but doesn't.
When that is the case, the server does not advertise any tags, and our
auto-following breaks because we never learned about any tags in the
first place.
Fix this by only adding "HEAD" to the ref prefixes when we know that we
are already limiting the advertisement. In either case we'll learn about
HEAD (either through the limited advertisement, or implicitly through a
full advertisement).

previously declared as free from `the_repository`. Instead of marking
all of them as `the_repository`-dependent again, we instead use the
repository that is available in the calling context. There are three
exceptions though with "copy.c", "pack-write.c" and "tempfile.c".

The "git refs migrate" subcommand converts the backend used for ref
storage. It always migrates reflog data as well as refs. Introduce an
option to exclude reflogs from migration, allowing them to be discarded
when they are unnecessary.
This is particularly useful in server-side repositories, where reflogs
are typically not expected. However, some repositories may still have
them due to historical reasons, such as bugs, misconfigurations, or
administrative decisions to enable reflogs for debugging. In such
repositories, it would be optimal to drop reflogs during the migration.
To address this, introduce the '--no-reflog' flag, which prevents reflog
migration. When this flag is used, reflogs from the original reference
backend are migrated. Since only the new reference backend remains in
the repository, all previous reflogs are permanently discarded.

The `get_worktree_git_dir()` function returns a string constant that
does not need to be free'd by the caller. This string is computed for
three different cases:
- If we don't have a worktree we return a path into the Git directory.
The returned string is owned by `the_repository`, so there is no
need for the caller to free it.
- If we have a worktree, but no worktree ID then the caller requests
the main worktree. In this case we return a path into the common
directory, which again is owned by `the_repository` and thus does
not need to be free'd.
- In the third case, where we have an actual worktree, we compute the
path relative to "$GIT_COMMON_DIR/worktrees/". This string does not
need to be released either, even though `git_common_path()` ends up
allocating memory. But this doesn't result in a memory leak either
because we write into a buffer returned by `get_pathname()`, which
returns one out of four static buffers.
We're about to drop `git_common_path()` in favor of `repo_common_path()`,
which doesn't use the same mechanism but instead returns an allocated
string owned by the caller. While we could adapt `get_worktree_git_dir()`
to also use `get_pathname()` and print the derived common path into that
buffer, the whole schema feels a lot like premature optimization in this
context. There are some callsites where we call `get_worktree_git_dir()`
in a loop that iterates through all worktrees. But none of these loops
seem to be even remotely in the hot path, so saving a single allocation
there does not feel worth it.
Refactor the function to instead consistently return an allocated path
so that we can start using `repo_common_path()` in a subsequent commit.
