    path: extract function to check whether a path supports symlinks

When initializing a repository, we need to check whether its working
directory supports symlinks to correctly set the initial value of the
"core.symlinks" config variable. The code to check the filesystem is
reusable in other parts of our codebase, like for example in our tests
to determine whether certain tests can be expected to succeed or not.

Extract the code into a new function `git_path_supports_symlinks` to
avoid duplicate implementations. Remove a duplicate implementation in
the repo test helper code.

    • Write your modules and tests. Use good, meaningful names.

    • Make sure you actually build the tests by setting: 

        cmake -DBUILD_CLAR=ON build/

    • Test: 

        ./build/libgit2_clar

    • Make sure everything is fine.

    • Send your pull request. That’s it.

    Memory leak checks

    These are automatically run as part of CI, but if you want to check locally:

    Linux

    Uses valgrind:

    $ cmake -DBUILD_CLAR=ON -DVALGRIND=ON ..
$ cmake --build .
$ valgrind --leak-check=full --show-reachable=yes --num-callers=50 --suppressions=../libgit2_clar.supp \
  ./libgit2_clar

    macOS

    Uses leaks, which requires XCode installed:

    $ MallocStackLogging=1 MallocScribble=1 MallocLogFile=/dev/null CLAR_AT_EXIT="leaks -quiet \$PPID" \
  ./libgit2_clar
