* Update the logic to compute alignment requirement for our mem-pool.

+ * Problems identified by Coverity in the reftable code have been

+ (merge 01033de49f hn/reftable-coverity-fixes later to maint).
+
+ * A bug that made multi-pack bitmap and the object order out-of-sync,
+ making the .midx data corrupt, has been fixed.
+ (merge f8b60cf99b tb/midx-bitmap-corruption-fix later to maint).
+
+ * The build procedure has been taught to notice older version of zlib
+ and enable our replacement uncompress2() automatically.

+ * Interaction between fetch.negotiationAlgorithm and

+ has been corrected.

+ has been corrected.
+ (merge 757e75c81e jz/patch-id-hunk-header-parsing-fix later to maint).
