f0e693b1	2021-09-07T17:53:49	str: introduce `git_str` for internal, `git_buf` is external libgit2 has two distinct requirements that were previously solved by `git_buf`. We require: 1. A general purpose string class that provides a number of utility APIs for manipulating data (eg, concatenating, truncating, etc). 2. A structure that we can use to return strings to callers that they can take ownership of. By using a single class (`git_buf`) for both of these purposes, we have confused the API to the point that refactorings are difficult and reasoning about correctness is also difficult. Move the utility class `git_buf` to be called `git_str`: this represents its general purpose, as an internal string buffer class. The name also is an homage to Junio Hamano ("gitstr"). The public API remains `git_buf`, and has a much smaller footprint. It is generally only used as an "out" param with strict requirements that follow the documentation. (Exceptions exist for some legacy APIs to avoid breaking callers unnecessarily.) Utility functions exist to convert a user-specified `git_buf` to a `git_str` so that we can call internal functions, then converting it back again.

It was previously responsible for both running the various global initializers (that set up various subsystems) _and_ setting up the "global state", which is actually the thread-local state for things like error reporting. Separate the thread local state out into "threadstate". Use the normal subsystem initialization functions that we already have to set it up. This makes both the global initialization system and the threadstate system simpler to reason about.

thread: don't use the global tlsdata for thread exit We want to store a pointer to emulate `pthread_exit` on Windows. Do this within the threading infrastructure so that it could potentially be re-used outside of the context of libgit2 itself.
