treewide: avoid use of `inline` attribute
ISO C90 does not specify the `inline` attribute, and as such we cannot
use it in our code. While we already use `__inline` when building in
Microsoft Visual Studio, we should also be using the `__inline__`
attribute from GCC/Clang. Otherwise, if we're using neither MSVC nor
GCC/Clang, we should simply avoid using `inline` at all and just define
functions as static.
This commit adjusts our own `GIT_INLINE` macro as well as the inline
macros specified by khash and xdiff. This allows us to enable strict C90
mode in a later commit.

Introduce a new `XDL_INLINE` macro and use it instead of `inline`
`inline` is not portable enough, and the `xdiff` code doesn't import
the `GIT_INLINE` macro. So introduce a new `XDL_INLINE` macro (with
the same definition as `GIT_INLINE`). Use the new macro to inline two
functions in `xdiffi.c`.

xdiff: rename "struct group" to "struct xdlgroup"
Commit a49895b593 (xdl_change_compact(): introduce the concept
of a change group, 2016-08-22) added a "struct group" type
to xdiff/xdiffi.c. But the POSIX system header "grp.h"
already defines "struct group" (it is part of the getgrnam
interface).
Let's resolve by giving the xdiff variant a scoped name,
which is closer to other xdiff types anyway (e.g.,
xdlfile_t, though note that xdiff is fond if typedefs when
Git usually is not).

diff: improve positioning of add/delete blocks in diffs
Some groups of added/deleted lines in diffs can be slid up or down,
because lines at the edges of the group are not unique. Picking good
shifts for such groups is not a matter of correctness but definitely has
a big effect on aesthetics. For example, consider the following two
diffs. The first is what standard Git emits:
--- a/9c572b21dd090a1e5c5bb397053bf8043ffe7fb4:git-send-email.perl
+++ b/6dcfa306f2b67b733a7eb2d7ded1bc9987809edb:git-send-email.perl

This patch teaches Git to pick better positions for such "diff sliders"
using heuristics that take the positions of nearby blank lines and the
indentation of nearby lines into account.
The existing Git code basically always shifts such "sliders" as far down
in the file as possible. The only exception is when the slider can be
aligned with a group of changed lines in the other file, in which case
Git favors depicting the change as one add+delete block rather than one
add and a slightly offset delete block. This naive algorithm often
yields ugly diffs.
Commit d634d61ed6 improved the situation somewhat by preferring to
position add/delete groups to make their last line a blank line, when
that is possible. This heuristic does more good than harm, but (1) it
can only help if there are blank lines in the right places, and (2)
always picks the last blank line, even if there are others that might be
better. The end result is that it makes perhaps 1/3 as many errors as
the default Git algorithm, but that still leaves a lot of ugly diffs.
This commit implements a new and much better heuristic for picking
optimal "slider" positions using the following approach: First observe
that each hypothetical positioning of a diff slider introduces two
splits: one between the context lines preceding the group and the first
added/deleted line, and the other between the last added/deleted line
and the first line of context following it. It tries to find the
positioning that creates the least bad splits.
Splits are evaluated based only on the presence and locations of nearby
blank lines, and the indentation of lines near the split. Basically, it
prefers to introduce splits adjacent to blank lines, between lines that
are indented less, and between lines with the same level of indentation.
In more detail:
1. It measures the following characteristics of a proposed splitting
position in a `struct split_measurement`:
* the number of blank lines above the proposed split
* whether the line directly after the split is blank
* the number of blank lines following that line
* the indentation of the nearest non-blank line above the split
* the indentation of the line directly below the split
* the indentation of the nearest non-blank line after that line
2. It combines the measured attributes using a bunch of
empirically-optimized weighting factors to derive a `struct
split_score` that measures the "badness" of splitting the text at
that position.
3. It combines the `split_score` for the top and the bottom of the
slider at each of its possible positions, and selects the position
that has the best `split_score`.
I determined the initial set of weighting factors by collecting a corpus
of Git histories from 29 open-source software projects in various
programming languages. I generated many diffs from this corpus, and
determined the best positioning "by eye" for about 6600 diff sliders. I
used about half of the repositories in the corpus (corresponding to
about 2/3 of the sliders) as a training set, and optimized the weights
against this corpus using a crude automated search of the parameter
space to get the best agreement with the manually-determined values.
Then I tested the resulting heuristic against the full corpus. The
results are summarized in the following table, in column `indent-1`:

In this table, the numbers are the count and percentage of human-rated
sliders that the corresponding algorithm got *wrong*. The columns are
* "repository" - the name of the repository used. I used the diffs
between successive non-merge commits on the HEAD branch of the
corresponding repository.
* "count" - the number of sliders that were human-rated. I chose most,
but not all, sliders to rate from those among which the various
algorithms gave different answers.
* "Git 2.9.0" - the default algorithm used by `git diff` in Git 2.9.0.
* "compaction" - the heuristic used by `git diff --compaction-heuristic`
in Git 2.9.0.
* "compaction-fixed" - the heuristic used by `git diff
--compaction-heuristic` after the fixes from earlier in this patch
series. Note that the results are not dramatically different than
those for "compaction". Both produce non-ideal diffs only about 1/3 as
often as the default `git diff`.
* "indent-1" - the new `--indent-heuristic` algorithm, using the first
set of weighting factors, determined as described above.
* "indent-2" - the new `--indent-heuristic` algorithm, using the final
set of weighting factors, determined as described below.
* `*` - indicates that repo was part of training set used to determine
the first set of weighting factors.
The fact that the heuristic performed nearly as well on the test set as
on the training set in column "indent-1" is a good indication that the
heuristic was not over-trained. Given that fact, I ran a second round of
optimization, using the entire corpus as the training set. The resulting
set of weights gave the results in column "indent-2". These are the
weights included in this patch.
The final result gives consistently and significantly better results
across the whole corpus than either `git diff` or `git diff
--compaction-heuristic`. It makes only about 1/30 as many errors as the
former and about 1/10 as many errors as the latter. (And a good fraction
of the remaining errors are for diffs that involve weirdly-formatted
code, sometimes apparently machine-generated.)
The tools that were used to do this optimization and analysis, along
with the human-generated data values, are recorded in a separate project
[1].

xdl_change_compact(): introduce the concept of a change group
The idea of xdl_change_compact() is fairly simple:
* Proceed through groups of changed lines in the file to be compacted,
keeping track of the corresponding location in the "other" file.
* If possible, slide the group up and down to try to give the most
aesthetically pleasing diff. Whenever it is slid, the current location
in the other file needs to be adjusted.
But these simple concepts are obfuscated by a lot of index handling that
is written in terse, subtle, and varied patterns. I found it very hard
to convince myself that the function was correct.
So introduce a "struct group" that represents a group of changed lines
in a file. Add some functions that perform elementary operations on
groups:
* Initialize a group to the first group in a file
* Move to the next or previous group in a file
* Slide a group up or down
Even though the resulting code is longer, I think it is easier to
understand and review. Its performance is not changed
appreciably (though it would be if `group_next()` and `group_previous()`
were not inlined).
...and in fact, the rewriting helped me discover another bug in the
--compaction-heuristic code: The update of blank_lines was never done
for the highest possible position of the group. This means that it could
fail to slide the group to its highest possible position, even if that
position had a blank line as its last line. So for example, it yielded
the following diff:
$ git diff --no-index --compaction-heuristic a.txt b.txt
diff --git a/a.txt b/b.txt
index e53969f..0d60c5fe 100644

when in fact the following diff is better (according to the rules of

xdiff: add recs_match helper function
It is a common pattern in xdl_change_compact to check that hashes and
strings match. The resulting code to perform this change causes very
long lines and makes it hard to follow the intention. Introduce a helper
function recs_match which performs both checks to increase
code readability.

xdiff/xprepare: fix a memory leak
The xdl_prepare_env() function may initialise an xdlclassifier_t
data structure via xdl_init_classifier(), which allocates memory
to several fields, for example 'rchash', 'rcrecs' and 'ncha'.
If this function later exits due to the failure of xdl_optimize_ctxs(),
then this xdlclassifier_t structure, and the memory allocated to it,
is not cleaned up.
In order to fix the memory leak, insert a call to xdl_free_classifier()
before returning.
This patch was originally written by Ramsay Jones (see commit
87f16258367a3b9a62663b11f898a4a6f3c19d31 in git.git).

xdiff/xprepare: use the XDF_DIFF_ALG() macro to access flag bits
Commit 307ab20b3 ("xdiff: PATIENCE/HISTOGRAM are not independent option
bits", 19-02-2012) introduced the XDF_DIFF_ALG() macro to access the
flag bits used to represent the diff algorithm requested. In addition,
code which had used explicit manipulation of the flag bits was changed
to use the macros.
However, one example of direct manipulation remains. Update this code to
use the XDF_DIFF_ALG() macro.
This patch was originally written by Ramsay Jones (see commit
5cd6978a9cfef58de061a9525f3678ade479564d in git.git).

xdiff: upgrade to core git 2.4.5
Upgrade xdiff to version used in core git 2.4.5 (0df0541).
Corrects an issue where an LF is added at EOF while applying
an unrelated change (ba31180), cleans up some unused code (be89977 and
e5b0662), and provides an improved callback to avoid leaking internal
(to xdiff) structures (467d348).
This also adds some additional functionality that we do not yet take
advantage of, namely the ability to ignore changes whose lines are
all blank (36617af).

Update diff to use iterators
This is a major reorganization of the diff code. This changes
the diff functions to use the iterators for traversing the
content. This allowed a lot of code to be simplified. Also,
this moved the functions relating to outputting a diff into a
new file (diff_output.c).
This includes a number of other changes - adding utility
functions, extending iterators, etc. plus more tests for the
diff code. This also takes the example diff.c program much
further in terms of emulating git-diff command line options.
