http: send probe packets
When we're authenticating with a connection-based authentication scheme
(NTLM, Negotiate), we need to make sure that we're still connected
between the initial GET where we did the authentication and the POST
that we're about to send. Our keep-alive session may have not kept
alive, but more likely, some servers do not authenticate the entire
keep-alive connection and may have "forgotten" that we were
authenticated, namely Apache and nginx.
Send a "probe" packet, that is an HTTP POST request to the upload-pack
or receive-pack endpoint, that consists of an empty git pkt ("0000").
If we're authenticated, we'll get a 200 back. If we're not, we'll get a
401 back, and then we'll resend that probe packet with the first step of
our authentication (asking to start authentication with the given
scheme). We expect _yet another_ 401 back, with the authentication
challenge.
Finally, we will send our authentication response with the actual POST
data. This will allow us to authenticate without draining the POST data
in the initial request that gets us a 401.

httpclient: consume final chunk message
When sending a new request, ensure that we got the entirety of the
response body. Our caller may have decided that they were done reading.
If we were not at the end of the message, this means that we need to
tear down the connection and cannot do keep-alive.
However, if the caller read all of the message, but we still have a
final end-of-response chunk signifier (ie, "0\r\n\r\n") on the socket,
then we should consider that the response was successfully copmleted.
If we're asked to send a new request, try to read from the socket, just
to clear out that end-of-chunk message, marking ourselves as
disconnected on any errors.

httpclient: introduce a simple http implementation
Introduce a new http client implementation that can GET and POST to
remote URLs.
Consumers can use `git_http_client_init` to create a new client,
`git_http_client_send_request` to send a request to the remote server
and `git_http_client_read_response` to read the response.
The http client implementation will perform the I/O with the remote
server (http or https) but does not understand the git smart transfer
protocol. This allows us to split the concerns of the http subtransport
from the actual http implementation.

httpclient: support expect/continue
Allow users to opt-in to expect/continue handling when sending a POST
and we're authenticated with a "connection-based" authentication
mechanism like NTLM or Negotiate.
If the response is a 100, return to the caller (to allow them to post
their body). If the response is *not* a 100, buffer the response for
the caller.
HTTP expect/continue is generally safe, but some legacy servers
have not implemented it correctly. Require it to be opt-in.

'Negotiate' supports default credentials).
Set up an authentication context for this mechanism and these
credentials. Continue exchanging challenge/responses until we're
authenticated.

gssapi: protect GSS_ERROR macro
The GSS_ERROR(x) macro may expand to `(x & value)` on some
implementations, instead of `((x) & value)`. This is the case on macOS,
which means that if we attempt to wrap an expression in that macro, like
`a = b`, then that would expand to `(a = b & value)`.
Since `&` has a higher precedence, this is not at all what we want, and
will set our result code to an incorrect value. Evaluate the expression
then test it with `GSS_ERROR` independently to avoid this.

index: fix resizing index map twice on case-insensitive systems
Depending on whether the index map is case-sensitive or insensitive, we
need to call either `git_idxmap_icase_resize` or `git_idxmap_resize`.
There are multiple locations where we thus use the following pattern:
if (index->ignore_case &&
git_idxmap_icase_resize(map, length) < 0)
return -1;
else if (git_idxmap_resize(map, length) < 0)
return -1;
The funny thing is: on case-insensitive systems, we will try to resize
the map twice in case where `git_idxmap_icase_resize()` doesn't error.
While this will still use the correct hashing function as both map types
use the same, this bug will at least cause us to resize the map twice in
a row.
Fix the issue by introducing a new function `index_map_resize` that
handles case-sensitivity, similar to how `index_map_set` and
`index_map_delete`. Convert all call sites where we were previously
resizing the map to use that new function.

index: replace map macros with inline functions
Traditionally, our maps were mostly implemented via macros that had
weird call semantics. This shows in our index code, where we have macros
that insert into an index map case-sensitively or insensitively, as they
still return error codes via an error parameter. This is unwieldy and,
most importantly, not necessary anymore, due to the introduction of our
high-level map API and removal of macros.
Replace them with inlined functions to make code easier to read.

win32: fix relative symlinks pointing into dirs
On Windows platforms, we need some logic to emulate symlink(3P) defined
by POSIX. As unprivileged symlinks on Windows are a rather new feature,
our current implementation is comparatively new and still has some
rough edges in special cases.
One such case is relative symlinks. While relative symlinks to files in
the same directory work as expected, libgit2 currently fails to create
reltaive symlinks pointing into other directories. This is due to the
fact that we forgot to translate the Unix-style target path to
Windows-style. Most importantly, we are currently not converting
directory separators from "/" to "\".
Fix the issue by calling `git_win32_path_canonicalize` on the target.
Add a test that verifies our ability to create such relative links
across directories.

patch_parse: fix undefined behaviour due to arithmetic on NULL pointers
Doing arithmetic with NULL pointers is undefined behaviour in the C
standard. We do so regardless when parsing patches, as we happily add a
potential prefix length to prefixed paths. While this works out just
fine as the prefix length is always equal to zero in these cases, thus
resulting in another NULL pointer, it still is undefined behaviour and
was pointed out to us by OSSfuzz.
Fix the issue by checking whether paths are NULL, avoiding the
arithmetic if they are.

prefix into the resulting packet. As newlines act as packet boundaries,
we also strip the trailing newline if there is any. We do not check
whether there is any data left after the initial "ok " prefix though,
which leads to a pointer overflow in that case as `len == 0`:
if (line[len - 1] == '\n')
--len;
This out-of-bounds read is a rather useless gadget, as we can only
deduce whether at some offset there is a newline character. In case
there accidentally is one, we overflow `len` to `SIZE_MAX` and then
write a NUL byte into an array indexed by it:
pkt->ref[len] = '\0';
Again, this doesn't seem like something that's possible to be exploited
in any meaningful way, but it may surely lead to inconsistencies or DoS.
Fix the issue by checking whether there is any trailing data after the
packet prefix.

refs: rename git_reference__set_name to git_reference__realloc
As git_reference__name will reallocate storage to account for longer
names (it's actually allocator-dependent), it will cause all existing
pointers to the old object to become dangling, as they now point to
freed memory.
Fix the issue by renaming to a more descriptive name, and pass a pointer
to the actual reference that can safely be invalidated if the realloc
succeeds.

path: support non-ascii drive letters on dos
Windows/DOS only supports drive letters that are alpha characters A-Z.
However, you can `subst` any one-character as a drive letter, including
numbers or even emoji. Test that we can identify emoji as drive
letters.

index: ensure that we respect core.protectNTFS=false
Users may want to turn off core.protectNTFS, perhaps to import (and then
repair) a broken tree. Ensure that core.protectNTFS=false is honored.

path: rename function that detects end of filename
The function `only_spaces_and_dots` used to detect the end of the
filename on win32. Now we look at spaces and dots _before_ the end of
the string _or_ a `:` character, which would signify a win32 alternate
data stream.
Thus, rename the function `ntfs_end_of_filename` to indicate that it
detects the (virtual) end of a filename, that any further characters
would be elided to the given path.

path: also guard `.gitmodules` against NTFS Alternate Data Streams
We just safe-guarded `.git` against NTFS Alternate Data Stream-related
attack vectors, and now it is time to do the same for `.gitmodules`.
Note: In the added regression test, we refrain from verifying all kinds
of variations between short names and NTFS Alternate Data Streams: as
the new code disallows _all_ Alternate Data Streams of `.gitmodules`, it
is enough to test one in order to know that all of them are guarded
against.

Disallow NTFS Alternate Data Stream attacks, even on Linux/macOS
A little-known feature of NTFS is that it offers to store metadata in
so-called "Alternate Data Streams" (inspired by Apple's "resource
forks") that are copied together with the file they are associated with.
These Alternate Data Streams can be accessed via `<file name>:<stream
name>:<stream type>`.
Directories, too, have Alternate Data Streams, and they even have a
default stream type `$INDEX_ALLOCATION`. Which means that `abc/` and
`abc::$INDEX_ALLOCATION/` are actually equivalent.
This is of course another attack vector on the Git directory that we
definitely want to prevent.
On Windows, we already do this incidentally, by disallowing colons in
file/directory names.
While it looks as if files'/directories' Alternate Data Streams are not
accessible in the Windows Subsystem for Linux, and neither via
CIFS/SMB-mounted network shares in Linux, it _is_ possible to access
them on SMB-mounted network shares on macOS.
Therefore, let's go the extra mile and prevent this particular attack
_everywhere_. To keep things simple, let's just disallow *any* Alternate
Data Stream of `.git`.
This is libgit2's variant of CVE-2019-1352.
