Change a fragile test pattern introduced in 65347030590 (Topo-sort
before --simplify-merges, 2008-08-03) to check the exit code of both
"git name-rev" and "git log".
This test as a whole would fail under SANITIZE=leak, but we'd pass
several "failing" tests due to hiding these exit codes before we'd
spot git dying with abort(). Now we'll instead spot all of the
failures.

Fix code added in 969c877506c (git apply --directory broken for new
files, 2008-10-12) so that it doesn't invoke "git ls-files" on the
left-hand-side of a pipe, instead let's use an intermediate file.
Since we're doing that we can also drop the sub-shell that was here to
group the two.
There are a lot of these sorts of patterns in the test suite, and
there's no particular reason to fix this one other than in a preceding
commit all similar patterns except this one were fixed in
"t/t4128-apply-root.sh", so let's fix this one straggler as well.

Amend a prerequisite check added in 5c1ebcca4d1 (grep/icase: avoid
kwsset on literal non-ascii strings, 2016-06-25) to do invoke
'test-tool regex' in such a way that we'll notice if it dies under
SANITIZE=leak due to having a memory leak, as opposed to us not having
the "ICASE" support we're checking for.
Because we weren't making a distinction between the two I'd marked
these tests as passing under SANITIZE=leak in 03d85e21951 (leak tests:
mark remaining leak-free tests as such, 2021-12-17).
Doing this is tricky. Ideally "test_lazy_prereq" would materialize as
a "real" test that we could check the exit code of with the same
signal matching that "test_must_fail" does.
However lazy prerequisites aren't real tests, and are instead lazily
materialized in the guts of "test_have_prereq" when we've already
started another test.
We could detect the abort() (or similar) there and pass that exit code
down, and fail the test that caused the prerequisites to be
materialized.
But that would require extensive changes to test-lib.sh and
test-lib-functions.sh. Let's instead simply check if the exit code of
"test-tool regex" is zero, and if so set the prerequisites. If it's
non-zero let's run it again with "test_must_fail". We'll thus make a
distinction between "bad" non-zero (segv etc) and "good" (exit 1 etc.).

Change a couple of uses of "test_expect_failure" to use a
"test_expect_success" to positively assert the current behavior, and
replace the intent of "test_expect_failure" with a "TODO" comment int
the description.
As noted in [1] the "test_expect_failure" feature is overly eager to
accept any failure as OK, and thus by design hides segfaults, abort()
etc. Because of that I didn't notice in dd9cede9136 (leak tests: mark
some rev-list tests as passing with SANITIZE=leak, 2021-10-31) that
this test leaks memory under SANITIZE=leak.
I have some larger local changes to add a better
"test_expect_failure", which would work just like
"test_expect_success", but would allow us say "test_todo" here (and
"success" would emit a "not ok [...] # TODO", not "ok [...]".
So even though using "test_expect_success" here comes with its own
problems[2], let's use it as a narrow change to fix the problem at
hand here and stop conflating the current "success" with actual
SANITIZE=leak failures.

As in the preceding commit change a similar fragile test pattern
introduced in b798671fa93 (merge-recursive: do not rudely die on
binary merge, 2007-08-14) to use a "test_must_fail" instead.
Before this we wouldn't distinguish normal "git merge" failures from
segfaults or abort(). Unlike the preceding commit we didn't end up
hiding any SANITIZE=leak failures in this case, but let's
correspondingly change these anyway.

Fix a test pattern that originated in f1af60bdba4 (Support 'diff=pgm'
attribute, 2007-04-22) so that we'll stop using "git diff" on the
left-hand-side of a pipe, and thus ignoring its exit code.
Rather than use intermediate files let's rewrite these tests to a much
simpler but more exhaustive "test_tmp" where we'll ignore certain
fields in the output.
Note that this is not a faithful conversion of the previous
"read/test" in some cases, as we were ignoring more fields there than
we strictly needed to. Now we'll "test_cmp" everything we can, and
only ignore the likes of paths to $TEMPDIR etc.

Fix an issue with the exit code of "diff-files" being ignored, which
has been ignored ever since these tests were originally added in
c859600954d ([PATCH] read-tree: save more user hassles during
fast-forward., 2005-06-07).
Since the exit code was ignored we'd hide errors here under
SANITIZE=leak, which resulted in me mistakenly marking these tests as
passing under SANITIZE=leak in e5a917fcf42 (unpack-trees: don't leak
memory in verify_clean_subdirectory(), 2021-10-07) and
4ea08416b8e (leak tests: mark a read-tree test as passing
SANITIZE=leak, 2021-10-31).
As it would be non-trivial to fix these tests (the leak is in
revision.c) let's un-mark them as passing under SANITIZE=leak in
addition to fixing the issue of ignoring the exit code.

Change some of the patterns in the test suite where we were hiding the
exit code from "git" by invoking it in a sub-shell within a "test"
expression to use temporary files and test_cmp instead.
These are not all the occurrences of this anti-pattern, but these in
particular hid issues where LSAN was dying, and I'd thus marked these
tests as passing under the linux-leaks CI job in past commits with
"TEST_PASSES_SANITIZE_LEAK=true". Let's deal with that by either
removing that marking, or skipping specific tests under
!SANITIZE_LEAK.

Change the "nr" and "alloc" members of "struct string_list" to use
"size_t" instead of "nr". On some platforms the size of an "unsigned
int" will be smaller than a "size_t", e.g. a 32 bit unsigned v.s. 64
bit unsigned. As "struct string_list" is a generic API we use in a lot
of places this might cause overflows.
As one example: code in "refs.c" keeps track of the number of refs
with a "size_t", and auxiliary code in builtin/remote.c in
get_ref_states() appends those to a "struct string_list".
While we're at it split the "nr" and "alloc" in string-list.h across
two lines, which is the case for most such struct member
declarations (e.g. in "strbuf.h" and "strvec.h").
Changing e.g. "int i" to "size_t i" in run_and_feed_hook() isn't
strictly necessary, and there are a lot more cases where we'll use a
local "int", "unsigned int" etc. variable derived from the "nr" in the
"struct string_list". But in that case as well as
add_wrapped_shortlog_msg() in builtin/shortlog.c we need to adjust the
printf format referring to "nr" anyway, so let's also change the other
variables referring to it.

The gpg-agent is one of several processes that newer releases of GnuPG
start automatically. Issue a kill to each of them to ensure they do not
affect separate tests. (Yes, the separate GNUPGHOME should do that
already. If we find that is case, we could drop the --kill entirely.)
In terms of compatibility, the 'all' keyword was added to the --kill &
--reload options in GnuPG 2.1.18. Debian and RHEL are often used as
indicators of how a change might affect older systems we often try to
support.
- Debian Strech (old old stable), which has limited security support
until June 2022, has GnuPG 2.1.18 (or 2.2.x in backports).
- CentOS/RHEL 7, which is supported until June 2024, has GnuPG
2.0.22, which lacks the --kill option, so the change won't have
any impact.

With gpgsm from gnupg-2.3, the changes to the trustlist.txt do not
appear to be picked up without refreshing the gpg-agent. Use the 'all'

a child of gpg-agent, for example.
We used to have a --kill at this spot, but I removed it in 2e285e7803

Checking if signing was successful will now accept '[GNUPG]:
SIG_CREATED' on the beginning of the first or any subsequent line. Not
just explictly the second one anymore.
Gpgsm v2.3 changed its output when listing keys from `fingerprint` to
`sha1/2 fpr`. This leads to the gpgsm tests silently not being executed
because of a failed prerequisite.
Switch to gpg's `--with-colons` output format when evaluating test
prerequisites to make parsing more robust. This also allows us to
combine the existing grep/cut/tr/echo pipe for writing the trustlist.txt
into a single awk expression.
Adjust error message checking in test for v2.3 specific output changes.

When renaming a remote, Git needs to rename all remote tracking
references to the remote's new name (e.g., renaming
"refs/remotes/old/foo" to "refs/remotes/new/foo" when renaming a remote
from "old" to "new").
This can be somewhat slow when there are many references to rename,
since each rename is done in a separate call to rename_ref() as opposed
to grouping all renames together into the same transaction. It would be
nice to execute all renames as a single transaction, but there is a
snag: the reference transaction backend doesn't support renames during a
transaction (only individually, via rename_ref()).
The reasons there are described in more detail in [1], but the main
problem is that in order to preserve the existing reflog, it must be
moved while holding both locks (i.e., on "oldname" and "newname"), and
the ref transaction code doesn't support inserting arbitrary actions
into the middle of a transaction like that.
As an aside, adding support for this to the ref transaction code is
less straightforward than inserting both a ref_update() and ref_delete()
call into the same transaction. rename_ref()'s special handling to
detect D/F conflicts would need to be rewritten for the transaction code
if we wanted to proactively catch D/F conflicts when renaming a
reference during a transaction. The reftable backend could support this
much more readily because of its lack of D/F conflicts.
Instead of a more complex modification to the ref transaction code,
display a progress meter when running verbosely in order to convince the
user that Git is doing work while renaming a remote.
This is mostly done as-expected, with the minor caveat that we
intentionally count symrefs renames twice, since renaming a symref takes
place over two separate calls (one to delete the old one, and another to
create the new one).
