As documented in git-receive-pack(1), updating a ref from
within the pre-receive hook is dangerous and can corrupt
your repo. This patch forbids ref updates entirely during
the hook to make it harder for adventurous hook writers to
shoot themselves in the foot.

Commit 722ff7f87 (receive-pack: quarantine objects until
pre-receive accepts, 2016-10-03) changed the underlying
details of how we take in objects. This is mostly
transparent to the user, but there are a few things they
might notice. Let's document them.

Since 722ff7f87 (receive-pack: quarantine objects until
pre-receive accepts, 2016-10-03), we have to feed the
pre-receive hook the tmp_objdir environment, so that git
programs run from the hook know where to find the objects.
That commit modified run_update_hook() to do the same, but
there it is a noop. By the time we get to the update hooks,
we have already migrated the objects from quarantine, and so
tmp_objdir_env() will always return NULL. We can drop this
useless call.
Note that the ordering here and the lack of support for the
update hook is intentional. The update hook calls are
interspersed with actual ref updates, and we must migrate
the objects before any refs are updated (since otherwise
those refs would appear broken to outside processes). So the
only other options are:
- remain in quarantine for the _first_ ref, but not the
others. This is sufficiently confusing that it can be
rejected outright.
- run all the individual update hooks first, then migrate,
then update all the refs. But this changes the repository
state that the update hooks see (i.e., whether or not
refs from the same push are updated yet or not).
So the functionality is fine and remains unchanged with this
patch; we're just cleaning up a useless and confusing line
of code.

When a client pushes objects to us, index-pack checks the
objects themselves and then installs them into place. If we
then reject the push due to a pre-receive hook, we cannot
just delete the packfile; other processes may be depending
on it. We have to do a normal reachability check at this
point via `git gc`.
But such objects may hang around for weeks due to the
gc.pruneExpire grace period. And worse, during that time
they may be exploded from the pack into inefficient loose
objects.
Instead, this patch teaches receive-pack to put the new
objects into a "quarantine" temporary directory. We make
these objects available to the connectivity check and to the
pre-receive hook, and then install them into place only if
it is successful (and otherwise remove them as tempfiles).

Once objects are added to the object database by a process,
they cannot easily be deleted, as we don't know what other
processes may have started referencing them. We have to
clean them up with git-gc, which will apply the usual
reachability and grace-period checks.
This patch provides an alternative: it helps callers create
a temporary directory inside the object directory, and a
temporary environment which can be passed to sub-programs to
ask them to write there (the original object directory
remains accessible as an alternate of the temporary one).
See tmp-objdir.h for details on the API.

On a case-insensitive filesystem, we should realize that
"a/objects" and "A/objects" are the same path. We already
use fspathcmp() to check against the main object directory,
but until recently we couldn't use it for comparing against
other alternates (because their paths were not
NUL-terminated strings). But now we can, so let's do so.
Note that we also need to adjust count-objects to load the
config, so that it can see the setting of core.ignorecase
(this is required by the test, but is also a general bugfix
for users of count-objects).

We recursively expand alternates repositories, so that if A
borrows from B which borrows from C, A can see all objects.
For the root object database, we allow relative paths, so A
can point to B as "../B/objects". However, we currently do
not allow relative paths when recursing, so B must use an
absolute path to reach C.
That is an ancient protection from c2f493a (Transitively
read alternatives, 2006-05-07) that tries to avoid adding
the same alternate through two different paths. Since
5bdf0a8 (sha1_file: normalize alt_odb path before comparing
and storing, 2011-09-07), we use a normalized absolute path
for each alt_odb entry.
This means that in most cases the protection is no longer
necessary; we will detect the duplicate no matter how we got
there (but see below). And it's a good idea to get rid of
it, as it creates an unnecessary complication when setting
up recursive alternates (B has to know that A is going to
borrow from it and make sure to use an absolute path).
Note that our normalization doesn't actually look at the
filesystem, so it can still be fooled by crossing symbolic
links. But that's also true of absolute paths, so it's not a
good reason to disallow only relative paths (it's
potentially a reason to switch to real_path(), but that's a
separate and non-trivial change).
We adjust the test script here to demonstrate that this now
works, and add new tests to show that the normalization does
indeed suppress duplicates.

There's no way to get the list of alternates that git
computes internally; our tests only infer it based on which
objects are available. In addition to testing, knowing this
list may be helpful for somebody debugging their alternates
setup.
Let's add it to the "count-objects -v" output. We could give
it a separate flag, but there's not really any need.
"count-objects -v" is already a debugging catch-all for the
object database, its output is easily extensible to new data
items, and printing the alternates is not expensive (we
already had to find them to count the objects).

It's currently the responsibility of the caller to give
fill_sha1_file() enough bytes to write into, leading them to
manually compute the required lengths. Instead, let's just
write into a strbuf so that it's impossible to get this
wrong.
The alt_odb caller already has a strbuf, so this makes
things strictly simpler. The other caller, sha1_file_name(),
uses a static PATH_MAX buffer and dies when it would
overflow. We can convert this to a static strbuf, which
means our allocation cost is amortized (and as a bonus, we
no longer have to worry about PATH_MAX being too short for
normal use).
This does introduce some small overhead in fill_sha1_file(),
as each strbuf_addchar() will check whether it needs to
grow. However, between the optimization in fec501d
(strbuf_addch: avoid calling strbuf_grow, 2015-04-16) and
the fact that this is not generally called in a tight loop
(after all, the next step is typically to access the file!)
this probably doesn't matter. And even if it did, the right
place to micro-optimize is inside fill_sha1_file(), by
calling a single strbuf_grow() there.

We pre-size the scratch buffer to hold a loose object
filename of the form "xx/yyyy...", which leads to allocation
code that is hard to verify. We have to use some magic
numbers during the initial allocation, and then writers must
blindly assume that the buffer is big enough. Using a strbuf
makes it more clear that we cannot overflow.
Unfortunately, we do still need some magic numbers to grow
our strbuf before calling fill_sha1_path(), but the strbuf
growth is much closer to the point of use. This makes it
easier to see that it's correct, and opens the possibility
of pushing it even further down if fill_sha1_path() learns
to work on strbufs.

This function forms a sha1 as "xx/yyyy...", but skips over
the slot for the slash rather than writing it, leaving it to
the caller to do so. It also does not bother to put in a
trailing NUL, even though every caller would want it (we're
forming a path which by definition is not a directory, so
the only thing to do with it is feed it to a system call).
Let's make the lives of our callers easier by just writing
out the internal "/" and the NUL.

The alternate_object_database struct uses a single buffer
both for storing the path to the alternate, and as a scratch
buffer for forming object names. This is efficient (since
otherwise we'd end up storing the path twice), but it makes
life hard for callers who just want to know the path to the
alternate. They have to remember to stop reading after
"alt->name - alt->base" bytes, and to subtract one for the
trailing '/'.
It would be much simpler if they could simply access a
NUL-terminated path string. We could encapsulate this in a
function which puts a NUL in the scratch buffer and returns
the string, but that opens up questions about the lifetime
of the result. The first time another caller uses the
alternate, the scratch buffer may get other data tacked onto
it.
Let's instead just store the root path separately from the
scratch buffer. There aren't enough alternates being stored
for the duplicated data to matter for performance, and this
keeps things simple and safe for the callers.

The string handling in link_alt_odb_entry() is mostly an
artifact of the original version, which took the path as a
ptr/len combo, and did not have a NUL-terminated string
until we created one in the alternate_object_database
struct. But since 5bdf0a8 (sha1_file: normalize alt_odb
path before comparing and storing, 2011-09-07), the first
thing we do is put the path into a strbuf, which gives us
some easy opportunities for cleanup.
In particular:
- we call strlen(pathbuf.buf), which is silly; we can look
at pathbuf.len.
- even though we have a strbuf, we don't maintain its
"len" field when chomping extra slashes from the
end, and instead keep a separate "pfxlen" variable. We
can fix this and then drop "pfxlen" entirely.
- we don't check whether the path is usable until after we
allocate the new struct, making extra cleanup work for
ourselves. Since we have a NUL-terminated string, we can
bump the "is it usable" checks higher in the function.
While we're at it, we can move that logic to its own
helper, which makes the flow of link_alt_odb_entry()
easier to follow.

When we add a new alternate to the list, we try to normalize
out any redundant "..", etc. However, we do not look at the
return value of normalize_path_copy(), and will happily
continue with a path that could not be normalized. Worse,
the normalizing process is done in-place, so we are left
with whatever half-finished working state the normalizing
function was in.
Fortunately, this cannot cause us to read past the end of
our buffer, as that working state will always leave the
NUL from the original path in place. And we do tend to
notice problems when we check is_directory() on the path.
But you can see the nonsense that we feed to is_directory
with an entry like:
this/../../is/../../way/../../too/../../deep/../../to/../../resolve
in your objects/info/alternates, which yields:
error: object directory
/to/e/deep/too/way//ects/this/../../is/../../way/../../too/../../deep/../../to/../../resolve
does not exist; check .git/objects/info/alternates.
We can easily fix this just by checking the return value.
But that makes it hard to generate a good error message,
since we're normalizing in-place and our input value has
been overwritten by cruft.
Instead, let's provide a strbuf helper that does an in-place
normalize, but restores the original contents on error. This
uses a second buffer under the hood, which is slightly less
efficient, but this is not a performance-critical code path.
The strbuf helper can also properly set the "len" parameter
of the strbuf before returning. Just doing:
normalize_path_copy(buf.buf, buf.buf);
will shorten the string, but leave buf.len at the original
length. That may be confusing to later code which uses the
strbuf.

This function makes sure that "git fsck" does not report any
