Similar to the preceding commit, introduce a new "init.defaultRefFormat"
config that allows the user to globally set the ref storage format used
by newly created repositories.

The object format for repositories can either be configured explicitly
by passing the `--object-format=` option to git-init(1) or git-clone(1),
or globally by setting the `GIT_DEFAULT_HASH` environment variable.
While the former makes sense, setting random environment variables is
not really a good user experience in case someone decides to only use
SHA256 repositories.
It is only natural to expect for a user that things like this can also
be configured via their config. As such, introduce a new config
"init.defaultObjectFormat", similar to "init.defaultBranch", that allows
the user to configure the default object format when creating new repos.
The precedence order now is the following, where the first one wins:
1. The `--object-format=` switch.
2. The `GIT_DEFAULT_HASH` environment variable.
3. The `init.defaultObjectFormat` config variable.
This matches the typical precedence order we use in Git. We typically
let the environment override the config such that the latter can easily
be overridden on an ephemeral basis, for example by scripts.

The configuration of repository formats is split up across two functions
`validate_hash_algorithm()` and `validate_ref_storage_format()`. This is
fine as-is, but we are about to extend the logic to also read default
values from the config. With the logic split across two functions, we
would either have to pass in additional parameters read from the config,
or read the config multiple times. Both of these options feel a bit
unwieldy.
Merge the code into a new function `repository_format_configure()` that
is responsible for configuring the whole repository's format. Like this,
we can easily read the config in a single place, only.
Furthermore, move the calls to `repo_set_ref_storage_format()` and
`repo_set_hash_algo()` into this new function as well, such that all the
logic to configure the repository format is self-contained here.

The object format tests create one-shot repositories that are only used
by the respective test, but never delete them. This makes it hard to
pick a proper repository name in subsequent tests, as more and more
names are taken already.
Delete these repositories via `test_when_finished`.

While our object format tests for git-init(1) exercise tests with all
known formats in t0001, the tests for the ref format don't. This leads
to some missing test coverage for interesting cases, like whether or not
a non-default ref storage format causes us to bump the repository format
version. We also don't test for the precedence of the `--ref-format=`
and the `GIT_DEFAULT_REF_FORMAT=` environment variable.
Extend the test suite to cover more scenarios related to the ref format.

It was reported that creating a stash with `--keep-index
--include-untracked` causes an error when HEAD points to a commit whose
tree is empty:
$ git stash push --keep-index --include-untracked
error: pathspec ':/' did not match any file(s) known to git
This error comes from `git checkout --no-overlay $i_tree -- :/`, which
we execute to reset the working tree to the state in our index. As the
tree generated from the index is empty in our case, ':/' does not match
any files and thus causes git-checkout(1) to error out.
Fix the issue by skipping the checkout when the index tree is empty. As
explained in the in-code comment, this should be the correct thing to do
as there is nothing that we'd have to reset in the first place.

In the past, we used to execute `git gc --auto` as part of our automatic
housekeeping routines. As git-gc(1) may require quite some time to
perform the housekeeping, it knows to detach itself and run in the
background so that the user can continue their work.
Eventually, we refactored our automatic housekeeping to instead use the
more flexible git-maintenance(1) command. The upside of this new infra
is that the user can configure which maintenance tasks are performed, at
least to a certain degree. So while it continues to run git-gc(1) by
default, it can also be adapted to e.g. use git-multi-pack-index(1) for
maintenance of the object database.
The auto-detach of the new infra is somewhat broken though once the user
configures non-standard tasks. The problem is essentially that we detach
at the wrong level in the process hierarchy: git-maintenance(1) never
detaches itself, but instead it continues to be git-gc(1) which does.
When configured to only run the git-gc(1) maintenance task, then the
result is basically the same as before. But when configured to run other
tasks, then git-maintenance(1) will wait for these to run to completion.
Even worse, it may be that git-gc(1) runs concurrently with other
housekeeping tasks, stomping on each others feet.
Fix this bug by asking git-gc(1) to not detach when it is being invoked
via git-maintenance(1). Instead, git-maintenance(1) now respects a new
config "maintenance.autoDetach", the equivalent of "gc.autoDetach", and
detaches itself into the background when running as part of our auto
maintenance. This should continue to behave the same for all users which
use the git-gc(1) task, only. For others though, it means that we now
properly perform all tasks in the background. The default behaviour of
git-maintenance(1) when executed by the user does not change, it will
remain in the foreground unless they pass the `--detach` option.

When running `git gc --auto`, the command will by default detach and
continue running in the background. This behaviour can be tweaked via
the `gc.autoDetach` config, but not via a command line switch. We need
that in a subsequent commit though, where git-maintenance(1) will want
to ask its git-gc(1) child process to not detach anymore.
Add a `--[no-]detach` flag that does this for us.

When detaching, git-gc(1) will redirect its stderr to a "gc.log" log
file, which is then used to surface errors of a backgrounded process to
the user. To ensure that the file is properly managed on abnormal exit
paths, we install both signal and exit handlers that try to either
commit the underlying lock file or roll it back in case there wasn't any
error.
This logic is severly broken when handling signals though, as we end up
calling all kinds of functions that are not signal safe. This includes
malloc(3P) via `git_path()`, fprintf(3P), fflush(3P) and many more
functions. The consequence can be anything, from deadlocks to crashes.
Unfortunately, we cannot really do much about this without a larger
refactoring.
The least-worst thing we can do is to not set up the signal handler in
the first place. This will still cause us to remove the lockfile, as the
underlying tempfile subsystem already knows to unlink locks when
receiving a signal. But it may cause us to remove the lock even in the
case where it would have contained actual errors, which is a change in
behaviour.
The consequence is that "gc.log" will not be committed, and thus
subsequent calls to `git gc --auto` won't bail out because of this.
Arguably though, it is better to retry garbage collection rather than
having the process run into a potentially-corrupted state.

We're leaking config values in git-gc(1) when those values are tracked
as strings. Introduce a new `gc_config_release()` function that releases
this memory to plug those leaks and release old values before populating
the config fields via `git_config_string()` et al.
Note that there is one small gotcha here with the "--prune" option. Next
to passing a string, this option also accepts the "--no-prune" option
that overrides the default or configured value. We thus need to discern
between the option not having been passed by the user and the negative
variant of it. This is done by using a simple sentinel value that lets
us discern these cases.

The git-gc(1) command knows to read a bunch of config keys to tweak its
own behaviour. The values are parsed into global variables, which makes
it hard to correctly manage the lifecycle of values that may require a
memory allocation.
Refactor the code to use a `struct gc_config` that gets populated and
passed around. For one, this makes previously-implicit dependencies on
these config values clear. Second, it will allow us to properly manage
the lifecycle in the next commit.

The type of the out parameter of `git_config_get_expiry()` is a pointer
to a constant string, which creates the impression that ownership of the
returned data wasn't transferred to the caller. This isn't true though
and thus quite misleading.
Adapt the parameter to be of type `char **` and adjust callers
accordingly. While at it, refactor `get_shared_index_expire_date()` to
drop the static `shared_index_expire` variable. It is only used in that
function, and furthermore we would only hit the code where we parse the
expiry date a single time because we already use a static `prepared`
variable to track whether we did parse it.

When generating pseudo-merge bitmaps, it's possible that concurrent
reference updates may reveal some pseudo-merge candidates which reach
objects that are not contained in the bitmap's pack or pseudo-pack
order (in the case of MIDX bitmaps).
The latter case is relatively easy to demonstrate: if we generate a MIDX
bitmap with only half of the repository packed, then the unpacked
contents are not part of the MIDX's object order.
If we happen to select one or more commit(s) from the unpacked portion
of the repository for inclusion in a pseudo-merge, we'll get the
following message when trying to generate its bitmap:
$ git multi-pack-index write --bitmap
[...]
Selecting pseudo-merge commits: 100% (1/1), done.
warning: Failed to write bitmap index. Packfile doesn't have full closure (object ... is missing)
Building bitmaps: 50% (1/2), done.
error: could not write multi-pack bitmap
, and the attempted bitmap write will fail, leaving the repository
without a current bitmap.
Rectify this by ensuring that the commits which are pseudo-merge
candidates can only be so if they appear somewhere in the packing order.
This is sufficient, since we know that the original packing order is
closed under reachability, so if a commit appears in that list as a
potential pseudo-merge candidate, we know that everything reachable from
it also appears in the list (and thus the candidate is a good one).

In the below instance, we generate one non-empty pseudo-merge

(In my testing, the pseudo-merge machinery seems to handle empty groups
just fine, but generating them is pointless as they carry no
information.)

Ordinarily, the pack-bitmap machinery will select some subset of
reachable commits to receive bitmaps. But when there are fewer than 100
commits indexed in the first place, they will all receive bitmaps as a
special case.
When this happens, pseudo-merges are not generated, making it impossible
to test pseudo-merge corner cases with fewer than 100 commits.
Select pseudo-merges even for bitmaps with fewer than 100 commits to
make such testing easier. In practice, this should not make a difference
to non-testing bitmaps, as they are unlikely to be used when a
repository has so few commits to begin with.

In order to determine its object order, the pack-bitmap machinery keeps
a 'struct packing_data' corresponding to the pack or pseudo-pack (when
writing a MIDX bitmap) being written.
The to_pack field is provided to the bitmap machinery by callers of
bitmap_writer_build() and assigned to the bitmap_writer struct at that
point.
But a subsequent commit will want to have access to that data earlier on
during commit selection. Prepare for that by adding a 'to_pack' argument
to 'bitmap_writer_init()', and initializing the field during that
function.
Subsequent commits will clean up other functions which take
now-redundant arguments (like nr_objects, which is equivalent to
pdata->objects_nr, or pdata itself).

This patch fixes a racy test failure in t4129.
The deletion test added by e95d515141 (apply: canonicalize modes read
from patches, 2024-08-05) wants to make sure that git-apply does not
complain about a non-canonical mode in the patch, even if that mode does
not match the working tree file. So it does this:
echo content >non-canon &&
git add non-canon &&
chmod 666 non-canon &&
This is wrong, because running chmod will update the ctime on the file,
making it stat-dirty and causing git-apply to refuse to apply the patch.
But this only happens sometimes, since it depends on the timestamps
crossing a second boundary (but it triggers pretty quickly when run with
--stress).
We can fix this by doing the chmod before updating the index. The order
isn't important here, as the mode will be canonicalized to 100644 in the
index anyway (in fact, the chmod is not even that important in the first
place, since git-apply will only look at the index; I only added it as
an extra confirmation that git-apply would not be confused by it).
