refcount: make refcounting conform to aliasing rules
Strict aliasing rules dictate that for most data types, you are not
allowed to cast them to another data type and then access the casted
pointers. While this works just fine for most compilers, technically we
end up in undefined behaviour when we hurt that rule.
Our current refcounting code makes heavy use of casting and thus
violates that rule. While we didn't have any problems with that code,
Travis started spitting out a lot of warnings due to a change in their
toolchain. In the refcounting case, the code is also easy to fix:
as all refcounting-statements are actually macros, we can just access
the `rc` field directly instead of casting.
There are two outliers in our code where that doesn't work. Both the
`git_diff` and `git_patch` structures have specializations for generated
and parsed diffs/patches, which directly inherit from them. Because of
that, the refcounting code is only part of the base structure and not of
the children themselves. We can help that by instead passing their base
into `GIT_REFCOUNT_INC`, though.

Make sure to always include "common.h" first
Next to including several files, our "common.h" header also declares
various macros which are then used throughout the project. As such, we
have to make sure to always include this file first in all
implementation files. Otherwise, we might encounter problems or even
silent behavioural differences due to macros or defines not being
defined as they should be. So in fact, our header and implementation
files should make sure to always include "common.h" first.
This commit does so by establishing a common include pattern. Header
files inside of "src" will now always include "common.h" as its first
other file, separated by a newline from all the other includes to make
it stand out as special. There are two cases for the implementation
files. If they do have a matching header file, they will always include
this one first, leading to "common.h" being transitively included as
first file. If they do not have a matching header file, they instead
include "common.h" as first file themselves.
This fixes the outlined problems and will become our standard practice
for header and source files inside of the "src/" from now on.

giterr_set: consistent error messages
Error messages should be sentence fragments, and therefore:
1. Should not begin with a capital letter,
2. Should not conclude with punctuation, and
3. Should not end a sentence and begin a new one

Teach `git_patch_from_diff` about parsed diffs
Ensure that `git_patch_from_diff` can return the patch for parsed diffs,
not just generate a patch for a generated diff.
