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.

parse: extract parse module
The `git_patch_parse_ctx` encapsulates both parser state as well as
options specific to patch parsing. To advance this state and keep it
consistent, we provide a few functions which handle advancing the
current position and accessing bytes of the patch contents. In fact,
these functions are quite generic and not related to patch-parsing by
themselves. Seeing that we have similar logic inside of other modules,
it becomes quite enticing to extract this functionality into its own
parser module.
To do so, we create a new module `parse` with a central struct called
`git_parse_ctx`. It encapsulates both the content that is to be parsed
as well as its lengths and the current position. `git_patch_parse_ctx`
now only contains this `parse_ctx` only, which is then accessed whenever
we need to touch the current parser. This is the first step towards
re-using this functionality across other modules which require parsing
functionality and remove code-duplication.

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.

diff_parse: free object instead of its pointer
In e7330016a (diff_parse: check return value of `git_diff_init_options`,
2017-03-20), we've introduced an error check whether we're able to
correctly initialize the diff options. This simple commit actually
introduced a segfault in that we now try to free the pointer to the
allocated diff in an error case, instead of the allocated diff itself.
This commit fixes the issue.

diff_parse: correctly set options for parsed diffs
The function `diff_parsed_alloc` allocates and initializes a
`git_diff_parsed` structure. This structure also contains diff options.
While we initialize its flags, we fail to do a real initialization of
its values. This bites us when we want to actually use the generated
diff as we do not se the option's version field, which is required to
operate correctly.
Fix the issue by executing `git_diff_init_options` on the embedded
struct.

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.
