clar: remove files internally instead of /bin/rm
Similar to how clar has used `/bin/cp` to copy files, it's used
`/bin/rm` to remove them. This has similar deficiencies; meaning that
leaks is noisy and it's slow. Move it to an internal function.

clar: copy files internally instead of /bin/cp
clar has historically shelled out to `/bin/cp` to copy test fixtures
into a sandbox. This has two deficiencies:
1. It's slower than simply opening the source and destination and
copying them in a read/write loop. On my Mac, the `/bin/cp` based
approach takes ~2:40 for a full test pass. Using a read/write loop
to copy the files ourselves takes ~1:50.
2. It's noisy. Since the leak detector follows fork/exec, we'll end up
running the leak detector on `/bin/cp`. This would be fine, except
that the leak detector spams the console on startup and shutdown, so
it adds a _lot_ of additional information to the test runs that is
useless. By not forking and using this internal system, we see much
less output.

cmake: remove policies
The `CMAKE_MINIUM_REQUIRE()` function not only sets up the minimum
required CMake version of a project, but it will also at the same time
set the CMake policy version. In effect this means that all policies
that have been introduced before the minimum CMake version will be
enabled automatically.
When updating our minimum required version ebabb88f2 (cmake: update
minimum CMake version to v3.5.1, 2019-10-10), we didn't remove any of
the policies we've been manually enabling. The newest CMake policy we've
been enabling is CMP0054, which was introduced back in CMake v3.1. As a
result, we can now just remove all manual calls to `CMAKE_POLICY()`.

cmake: remove option to add profiling flags
We currently have an option that adds options for profiling to both our

Let's remove this option.

cmake: remove support for creating tags
We currently have support for generating tags via ctags as part of our
build system. We aren't really in the place of supporting any tooling
that exists apart from the actual build environment, as doing so adds
additional complexity and maintenance burden to our build instructions.
This is in fact nicely demonstrated by this particular option, as it
hasn't been working anymore since commit e5c9723d0 (cmake: move library
build instructions into subdirectory, 2017-06-30).
As a result, this commit removes support for building CTags

cmake: always disable deprecation-sync warnings
We currently disable deprecation synchronization warnings in case we're
building with Clang. We check for Clang by doing a string comparison on
the compiler identification, but this seems to have been broken by an
update in macOS' image as the compiler ID has changed to "AppleClang".
Let's just unconditionally disable this warning on Unix platforms. We
never add the deprecated attribute anyway, so the warning doesn't help
us at all.

Modified `config_file_open()` so it returns 0 if the config file is
not readable, which happens on global config files under macOS
sandboxing (note that for some reason `access(F_OK)` DOES work with
sandboxing, but it is lying). Without this read check sandboxed
applications on macOS can not open any repository, because
`config_file_read()` will return GIT_ERROR when it cannot read the
global /Users/username/.gitconfig file, and the upper layers will
just completely abort on GIT_ERROR when attempting to load the
global config file, so no repositories can be opened.

The `git_index_free()` merely decrement the reference counter from 2 to

Thus, the following `git_repository_index()` merely increase the counter
to 2, instead of read index from disk.
The written index is not read and parsed, which makes this test case

checkout: fix file being treated as unmodified due to racy index
When trying to determine whether a file changed, we try to avoid heavy
operations by fist taking a look at the index, seeing whether the index
entry is modified already. This doesn't seem to cut it, though, as we
currently have the racy checkout::index::can_disable_pathspec_match test
case: sometimes the files get restored to their original contents,
sometimes they aren't.
The issue is caused by a racy index [1]: in case we modify a file, add
it to the index and then modify it again in-place without changing its
file, then we may end up with a modified file that has the same stat(3P)
info as we've currently got it in its corresponding index entry. The
mitigation for this is to treat files with the same mtime as the index
are treated as racily modified. We already have this logic in place for
the index, but not when doing a checkout.
Fix the issue by only consulting the index entry in case it has an older
mtime as the index. Previously, the following script reliably had at
least 20 failures, while now there is no failure to be observed anymore:
```bash
j=0
for i in $(seq 100)
do
if ! ./libgit2_clar -scheckout::index::can_disable_pathspec_match >/dev/null
then
j=$(($j + 1))
fi
done
echo "Failures: $j"

cmake: Sort source files for reproducible builds
We currently use `FILE(GLOB ...)` in most places to find source and
header files. This is problematic in that the order of files returned
depends on the operating system's directory iteration order and may thus
not be deterministic. As a result, we link object files in unspecified
order, which may cause the linker to emit different code across runs.
Fix this issue by sorting all code used as input to the libgit2 library
to improve the reliability of reproducible builds.

streams: openssl: fix memleak due to us not free'ing certs
When creating a `git_cert` from the OpenSSL X509 certificate of a given
stream, we do not call `X509_free()` on the certificate, leading to a
memory leak as soon as the certificate is requested e.g. by the
certificate check callback.
Fix the issue by properly calling `X509_free()`.

futils: fix order of declared parameters for `git_futils_fake_symlink`
While the function `git_futils_fake_symlink` is declared with arguments
`new, old`, the implementation uses the reverse order `old, new`. Let's
fix the ordering issues to be `new, old` for both, which matches what
symlink(3P) has. While at it, we also rename these parameters: `old` and
`new` doesn't really make a lot of sense in the context of symlinks,
which is why this commit renames them to be called `target` and `path`.

assert: allow non-int returning functions to assert
Include GIT_ASSERT_WITH_RETVAL and GIT_ASSERT_ARG_WITH_RETVAL so that
functions that do not return int (or more precisely, where `-1` would
not be an error code) can assert.
This allows functions that return, eg, NULL on an error code to do that
by passing the return value (in this example, `NULL`) as a second
parameter to the GIT_ASSERT_WITH_RETVAL functions.

GIT_ASSERT_ARG(x) will now assert that the given argument complies to

GIT_ASSERT(x) is for internal usage, and available as an internal
consistency check. It will set an error message and return `-1` in the

docs: add documentation for our coding style
For years, we've repeatedly had confusion about what our actual coding
style is not only for newcomers, but also across the core contributors.
This can mostly be attributed to the fact that we do not have any coding
conventions written down. This is now a thing of the past with the
introduction of a new document that gives an initial overview of our
style and most important best practices for both our C codebase as well
as for CMake.
While the proposed coding style for our C codebase should be rather
uncontroversial, the coding style for CMake might be. This can be
attributed to multiple facts. First, the CMake code base doesn't really
have any uniform coding style and is quite outdated in a lot of places.
Second, the proposed coding style actually breaks with our existing one:
we currently use all-uppercase function names and variables, but the
documented coding style says we use all-lowercase function names but
all-uppercase variables.
It's common practice in CMake to write variables in all upper-case, and
in fact all variables made available by CMake are exactly that. As
variables are case-sensitive in CMake, we cannot and shouldn't break
with this. In contrast, function calls are case insensitive, and modern
CMake always uses all-lowercase ones. I argue we should do the same to
get in line with other codebases and to reduce the likelihood of
repetitive strain injuries.
So especially for CMake, the proposed coding style says something we
don't have yet. I'm fine with that, as the document explicitly says that
it's what we want to have and not what we have right now.

Fix typo causing removal of symbol 'git_worktree_prune_init_options'
Commit 0b5ba0d replaced this function with an "option_init"
equivallent, but misspelled the replacement function. As a result, this
symbol has been missing from libgit2.so ever since.

Making get_delta_base() conform to the general error-handling pattern
This makes get_delta_base() return the error code as the return value
and the delta base as an out-parameter.

pack: Improve error handling for get_delta_base()
This change moves the responsibility of setting the error upon failures
of get_delta_base() to get_delta_base() instead of its callers. That
way, the caller chan always check if the return value is negative and
mark the whole operation as an error instead of using garbage values,
which can lead to crashes if the .pack files are malformed.

cmake: streamline backend detection
We're currently doing unnecessary work to auto-detect backends even if
the functionality is disabled altogether. Let's fix this by removing the
extraneous FOO_BACKEND variables, instead letting auto-detection modify
the variable itself.

merge: cache negative cache results for similarity metrics
When computing renames, we cache the hash signatures for each of the
potentially conflicting entries so that we do not need to repeatedly
read the file and can at least halfway efficiently determine whether two
files are similar enough to be deemed a rename. In order to make the
hash signatures meaningful, we require at least four lines of data to be
present, resulting in at least four different hashes that can be
compared. Files that are deemed too small are not cached at all and
will thus be repeatedly re-hashed, which is usually not a huge issue.
The issue with above heuristic is in case a file does _not_ have at
least four lines, where a line is anything separated by a consecutive
run of "\n" or "\0" characters. For example "a\nb" is two lines, but
"a\0\0b" is also just two lines. Taken to the extreme, a file that has
megabytes of consecutive space- or NUL-only may also be deemed as too
small and thus not get cached. As a result, we will repeatedly load its
blob, calculate its hash signature just to finally throw it away as we
notice it's not of any value. When you've got a comparitively big file
that you compare against a big set of potentially renamed files, then
the cost simply expodes.
The issue can be trivially fixed by introducing negative cache entries.
Whenever we determine that a given blob does not have a meaningful
representation via a hash signature, we store this negative cache marker
and will from then on not hash it again, but also ignore it as a
potential rename target. This should help the "normal" case already
where you have a lot of small files as rename candidates, but in the
above scenario it's savings are extraordinarily high.
To verify we do not hit the issue anymore with described solution, this
commit adds a test that uses the exact same setup described above with
one 50 megabyte blob of '\0' characters and 1000 other files that get
renamed. Without the negative cache:
$ time ./libgit2_clar -smerge::trees::renames::cache_recomputation >/dev/null
real 11m48.377s
user 11m11.576s
sys 0m35.187s
And with the negative cache:
$ time ./libgit2_clar -smerge::trees::renames::cache_recomputation >/dev/null
real 0m1.972s
user 0m1.851s
sys 0m0.118s
So this represents a ~350-fold performance improvement, but it obviously
depends on how many files you have and how big the blob is. The test
number were chosen in a way that one will immediately notice as soon as
the bug resurfaces.

gitignore: clean up patterns from old times
The gitignore file currently has a lot of patterns for files that we
shouldn't write anymore since we have migrated to CMake, as everybody is
expected to do out-of-source builds anyway. Let's remove them.

patch: correctly handle mode changes for renames
When generating a patch for a renamed file whose mode bits have changed
in addition to the rename, then we currently fail to parse the generated
patch. Furthermore, when generating a diff we output mode bits after the
similarity metric, which is different to how upstream git handles it.
Fix both issues by adding another state transition that allows
similarity indices after mode changes and by printing mode changes
before the similarity index.

credentials: provide backcompat for opaque structs
The credential structures are now opaque and defined in
`sys/credential.h`. However, we should continue to provide them for
backward compatibility, unless `GIT_DEPRECATED_HARD` is set.
