Add a new "discard" event type for trace2 event destinations. When the
trace2 file count check creates a sentinel file, it will include the
normal trace2 output in the sentinel, along with this new discard
event.
Writing this message into the sentinel file is useful for tracking how
often the file count check triggers in practice.
Bump up the event format version since we've added a new event type.

trace2 can write files into a target directory. With heavy usage, this
directory can fill up with files, causing difficulty for
trace-processing systems.
This patch adds a config option (trace2.maxFiles) to set a maximum
number of files that trace2 will write to a target directory. The
following behavior is enabled when the maxFiles is set to a positive
integer:
When trace2 would write a file to a target directory, first check
whether or not the traces should be discarded. Traces should be
discarded if:
* there is a sentinel file declaring that there are too many files
* OR, the number of files exceeds trace2.maxFiles.
In the latter case, we create a sentinel file named git-trace2-discard
to speed up future checks.
The assumption is that a separate trace-processing system is dealing
with the generated traces; once it processes and removes the sentinel
file, it should be safe to generate new trace files again.
The default value for trace2.maxFiles is zero, which disables the file
count check.
The config can also be overridden with a new environment variable:
GIT_TRACE2_MAX_FILES.

Output from trace2 subsystem is formatted more prettily now.
* jh/trace2-pretty-output:
trace2: cleanup whitespace in perf format
trace2: cleanup whitespace in normal format
quote: add sq_append_quote_argv_pretty()
trace2: trim trailing whitespace in normal format error message
trace2: remove dead code in maybe_add_string_va()
trace2: trim whitespace in region messages in perf target format
trace2: cleanup column alignment in perf target format

Code cleanup.
* rs/trace2-dst-warning:
trace2: use warning() directly in tr2_dst_malformed_warning()

Let warning() format the message instead of using an intermediate strbuf
for that. This is shorter, easier to read and avoids an allocation.

Remove an unnecessary "if" block in maybe_add_string_va().
Commit "ad006fe419e trace2: NULL is not allowed for va_list"
changed "if (fmt && *fmt && ap)" to just "if (fmt && *fmt)"
because it isn't safe to treat 'ap' as a pointer. This made
the "if" block following it unnecessary.

For an environment variable that is supposed to be set by users, the
GIT_TR2* env vars are just too unclear, inconsistent, and ugly.
Most of the established GIT_* environment variables don't use
abbreviations, and in case of the few that do (GIT_DIR,
GIT_COMMON_DIR, GIT_DIFF_OPTS) it's quite obvious what the
abbreviations (DIR and OPTS) stand for. But what does TR stand for?
Track, traditional, trailer, transaction, transfer, transformation,
transition, translation, transplant, transport, traversal, tree,
trigger, truncate, trust, or ...?!
The trace2 facility, as the '2' suffix in its name suggests, is
supposed to eventually supercede Git's original trace facility. It's
reasonable to expect that the corresponding environment variables
follow suit, and after the original GIT_TRACE variables they are
called GIT_TRACE2; there is no such thing is 'GIT_TR'.
All trace2-specific config variables are, very sensibly, in the
'trace2' section, not in 'tr2'.
OTOH, we don't gain anything at all by omitting the last three
characters of "trace" from the names of these environment variables.
So let's rename all GIT_TR2* environment variables to GIT_TRACE2*,
before they make their way into a stable release.

Polishing of the new trace2 facility continues. The system-level
configuration can specify site-wide trace2 settings, which can be
overridden with per-user configuration and environment variables.

trace2: update docs to describe system/global config settings
trace2: make SIDs more unique
trace2: clarify UTC datetime formatting
trace2: report peak memory usage of the process
trace2: use system/global config for default trace2 settings
config: add read_very_early_config()
trace2: find exec-dir before trace2 initialization
trace2: add absolute elapsed time to start event
trace2: refactor setting process starting time
config: initialize opts structure in repo_read_config()

Teach git to read the system and global config files for
default Trace2 settings. This allows system-wide Trace2 settings to
be installed and inherited to make it easier to manage a collection of
systems.
The original GIT_TR2* environment variables are loaded afterwards and
can be used to override the system settings.
Only the system and global config files are used. Repo and worktree
local config files are ignored. Likewise, the "-c" command line
arguments are also ignored. These limits are for performance reasons.
(1) For users not using Trace2, there should be minimal overhead to
detect that Trace2 is not enabled. In particular, Trace2 should not
allocate lots of otherwise unused data strucutres.
(2) For accurate performance measurements, Trace2 should be initialized
as early in the git process as possible, and before most of the normal
git process initialization (which involves discovering the .git directory
and reading a hierarchy of config files).

When the value of a trace2 environment variable is an absolute path
referring to an existing directory, write output to files (one per
process) underneath the given directory. Files will be named according
to the final component of the trace2 SID, followed by a counter to avoid
potential collisions.
This makes it more convenient to collect traces for every git invocation
by unconditionally setting the relevant trace2 envvar to a constant
directory name.

Some compilers don't allow NULL to be passed for a va_list,
and e.g. "gcc (Raspbian 6.3.0-18+rpi1+deb9u1) 6.3.0 20170516"
errors out like this:
trace2/tr2_tgt_event.c:193:18:
error: invalid operands to binary &&
(have ‘int’ and ‘va_list {aka __va_list}’)
if (fmt && *fmt && ap) {
^^
I couldn't find any hints that va_list and pointers can be mixed,
and no hints that they can't either. Morten Welinder comments:
"C99, Section 7.15, simply says that va_list "is an object type suitable for
holding information needed by the macros va_start, va_end, and
va_copy". So clearly not guaranteed to be mixable with pointers...
The portable solution is to use "va_list" everywhere in the callchain.
As a consequence, both trace2_region_enter_fl() and trace2_region_leave_fl()
now take a variable argument list.

Create a new unified tracing facility for git. The eventual intent is to
replace the current trace_printf* and trace_performance* routines with a
unified set of git_trace2* routines.
In addition to the usual printf-style API, trace2 provides higer-level
event verbs with fixed-fields allowing structured data to be written.
This makes post-processing and analysis easier for external tools.
Trace2 defines 3 output targets. These are set using the environment
variables "GIT_TR2", "GIT_TR2_PERF", and "GIT_TR2_EVENT". These may be
set to "1" or to an absolute pathname (just like the current GIT_TRACE).
* GIT_TR2 is intended to be a replacement for GIT_TRACE and logs command
summary data.
* GIT_TR2_PERF is intended as a replacement for GIT_TRACE_PERFORMANCE.
It extends the output with columns for the command process, thread,
repo, absolute and relative elapsed times. It reports events for
child process start/stop, thread start/stop, and per-thread function
nesting.
* GIT_TR2_EVENT is a new structured format. It writes event data as a
series of JSON records.
Calls to trace2 functions log to any of the 3 output targets enabled
without the need to call different trace_printf* or trace_performance*
routines.
