It is nice for the user to not just show the sha1 of the
current revision being built but also the actual name of
this revision.

Let's actually use the subsections we find in the config file
to run the perf tests separately for each subsection.

As we will set some config options in subsections, let's
teach get_var_from_env_or_config() to get the config options
from the subsections if they are set there.

This function makes it possible to find subsections, so that
we will be able to run different tests for different subsections
in a later commit.

These calls make it possible to have the make command or the
make options in a config file, instead of in environment
variables.

This environment variable can be set to some revisions or
directories whose Git versions should be tested, in addition
to the revisions or directories passed as arguments to the
'run' script.
This enables a "perf.dirsOrRevs" configuration variable to
be used to set revisions or directories whose Git versions
should be tested.

Add get_var_from_env_or_config() to easily set variables
from a config file if they are defined there and not already set.
This can also set them to a default value if one is provided.
As an example, use this function to set GIT_PERF_REPEAT_COUNT
from the perf.repeatCount config option or from the default
value.

It is error prone and tiring to use many long environment
variables to give parameters to the 'run' script.
Let's make it easy to store some parameters in a config
file and to pass them to the run script.
The GIT_PERF_CONFIG_FILE variable will be set to the
argument of the '--config' option. This variable is not
used yet. It will be used in a following commit.

Amend the t/perf/run output so that in addition to the "Running N
tests" heading currently being emitted, it also emits "Unpacking $rev"
and "Building $rev" when setting up the build/$rev directory & when
building it, respectively.
This makes it easier to see what's going on and what revision is being
tested as the output scrolls by.

Add a git GIT_PERF_MAKE_COMMAND variable to compliment the existing
GIT_PERF_MAKE_OPTS facility. This allows specifying an arbitrary shell
command to execute instead of 'make'.
This is useful e.g. in cases where the name, semantics or defaults of
a Makefile flag have changed over time. It can even be used to change
the contents of the tree, useful for monkeypatching ancient versions
of git to get them to build.
This opens Pandora's box in some ways, it's now possible to
"jailbreak" the perf environment and e.g. modify the source tree via
this arbitrary instead of just issuing a custom "make" command, such a
command has to be re-entrant in the sense that subsequent perf runs
will re-use the possibly modified tree.
It would be pointless to try to mitigate or work around that caveat in
a tool purely aimed at Git developers, so this change makes no attempt
to do so.

It's tempting to say:
./run v1.0.0 HEAD
to see how we've sped up Git over the years. Unfortunately,
this doesn't quite work because versions of Git prior to
v1.7.0 lack bin-wrappers, so our "run" script doesn't
correctly put them in the PATH.
Worse, it means we silently find whatever other "git" is in
the PATH, and produce test results that have no bearing on
what we asked for.
Let's fallback to the main git directory when bin-wrappers
isn't present. Many modern perf scripts won't run with such
an antique version of Git, of course, but at least those
failures are detected and reported (and you're free to write
a limited perf script that works across many versions).

Otherwise for people who use autotools-based configure in main worktree,
the performance testing results will be inconsistent as work and build
trees could be using e.g. different optimization levels.
See e.g.
http://public-inbox.org/git/20160818175222.bmm3ivjheokf2qzl@sigill.intra.peff.net/
for example.
NOTE config.status has to be copied because otherwise without it the build
would want to run reconfigure this way loosing just copied config.mak.autogen.

This introduces a performance testing framework under t/perf/. It
tries to be as close to the test-lib.sh infrastructure as possible,
and thus should be easy to get used to for git developers.
The following points were considered for the implementation:
1. You usually want to compare arbitrary revisions/build trees against
each other. They may not have the performance test under
consideration, or even the perf-lib.sh infrastructure.
To cope with this, the 'run' script lets you specify arbitrary
build dirs and revisions. It even automatically builds the revisions
if it doesn't have them at hand yet.
2. Usually you would not want to run all tests. It would take too
long anyway. The 'run' script lets you specify which tests to run;
or you can also do it manually. There is a Makefile for
discoverability and 'make clean', but it is not meant for
real-world use.
3. Creating test repos from scratch in every test is extremely
time-consuming, and shipping or downloading such large/weird repos
is out of the question.
We leave this decision to the user. Two different sizes of test
repos can be configured, and the scripts just copy one or more of
those (using hardlinks for the object store). By default it tries
to use the build tree's git.git repository.
This is fairly fast and versatile. Using a copy instead of a clone
preserves many properties that the user may want to test for, such
as lots of loose objects, unpacked refs, etc.
