pack-objects: refactor write_object() into helper functions

The function first decides if we want to copy data taken from existing
pack verbatim or we want to encode the data ourselves for the packfile
we are creating and then carries out the decision.  Separate the latter
phase into two helper functions, one for the case the data is reused,
the other for the case the data is produced anew.

A little twist is that it can later turn out that we cannot reuse the
data after we initially decide to do so; in such a case, the "reuse"
helper makes a call to "generate" helper.  It is easier to follow than
the current fallback code that uses "goto" inside a single large
function.

ident: split setup_ident into separate functions

This function sets up the default name, email, and date, and
is not publicly available. Let's split it into three public
functions so that callers can get just the parts they need.

While we're at it, let's change the interface to simple
accessors. The original function was called only by fmt_ident,
and contained logic for "if we already have some other
value, don't load the default" which properly belongs in
fmt_ident.

fmt-merge-msg: don't use static buffer in record_person

The record_person function just parses out the "name" field
of the person line in a commit and adds it to a string_list.
The only reason we need an extra buffer is that the
string_list functions require a NUL-terminated string.

Instead of the static buffer, we can just allocate a
temporary NUL-terminated copy. In addition to removing a
useless limit, this removes the only user of MAX_GITNAME
outside of ident.c.

ident: don't write fallback username into git_default_name

The fmt_ident function gets a flag that tells us whether to
die if the name field is blank. If it is blank and we don't
die, then we fall back to the username from the passwd file.

The current code writes the value into git_default_name.
However, that's not necessarily correct, as the empty value
might have come from git_default_name, or it might have been
passed in.  This leads to two potential problems:

  1. If we are overriding an empty name in the passed-in
     value, then we may be overwriting a perfectly good name
     (from gitconfig or gecos) in the git_default_name
     buffer. Later calls to fmt_ident will end up using the
     fallback name, even though a better name was available.

  2. If we override an empty gecos name, we end up with the
     fallback name in git_default_name. A later call that
     uses IDENT_ERROR_ON_NO_NAME will see the fallback name
     and think that it is a good name, instead of producing
     an error. In other words, a blank gecos name would
     cause an error with this code:

       git_committer_info(IDENT_ERROR_ON_NO_NAME);

     but not this:

       git_committer_info(0);
       git_committer_info(IDENT_ERROR_ON_NO_NAME);

     because in the latter case, the first call has polluted
     the name buffer.

Instead, let's make the fallback a per-invocation variable.
We can just use the pw->pw_name string directly, since it
only needs to persist through the rest of the function (and
we don't do any other getpwent calls).

Note that while this solves (1) for future invocations of
fmt_indent, the current invocation might use the fallback
when it could in theory load a better value from
git_default_name. However, by not passing
IDENT_ERROR_ON_NO_NAME, the caller is indicating that it
does not care too much about the name, anyway, so we don't
bother; this is primarily about protecting future callers
who do care.

drop length limitations on gecos-derived names and emails

When we pull the user's name from the GECOS field of the
passwd file (or generate an email address based on their
username and hostname), we put the result into a
static buffer. While it's extremely unlikely that anybody
ever hit these limits (after all, in such a case their
parents must have hated them), we still had to deal with the
error cases in our code.

Converting these static buffers to strbufs lets us simplify
the code and drop some error messages from the documentation
that have confused some users.

The conversion is mostly mechanical: replace string copies
with strbuf equivalents, and access the strbuf.buf directly.
There are a few exceptions:

  - copy_gecos and copy_email are the big winners in code
    reduction (since they no longer have to manage the
    string length manually)

  - git_ident_config wants to replace old versions of
    the default name (e.g., if we read the config multiple
    times), so it must reset+add to the strbuf instead of
    just adding

Note that there is still one length limitation: the
gethostname interface requires us to provide a static
buffer, so we arbitrarily choose 1024 bytes for the
hostname.

ident: report passwd errors with a more friendly message

When getpwuid fails, we give a cute but cryptic message.
While it makes sense if you know that getpwuid or identity
functions are being called, this code is triggered behind
the scenes by quite a few git commands these days (e.g.,
receive-pack on a remote server might use it for a reflog;
the current message is hard to distinguish from an
authentication error).  Let's switch to something that gives
a little more context.

While we're at it, we can factor out all of the
cut-and-pastes of the "you don't exist" message into a
wrapper function. Rather than provide xgetpwuid, let's make
it even more specific to just getting the passwd entry for
the current uid. That's the only way we use getpwuid anyway,
and it lets us make an even more specific error message.

The current message also fails to mention errno. While the
usual cause for getpwuid failing is that the user does not
exist, mentioning errno makes it easier to diagnose these
problems.  Note that POSIX specifies that errno remain
untouched if the passwd entry does not exist (but will be
set on actual errors), whereas some systems will return
ENOENT or similar for a missing entry. We handle both cases
in our wrapper.

ident: use full dns names to generate email addresses

When we construct an email address from the username and
hostname, we generate the host part of the email with this
procedure:

  1. add the result of gethostname

  2. if it has a dot, ok, it's fully qualified

  3. if not, then look up the unqualified hostname via
     gethostbyname; take the domain name of the result and
     append it to the hostname

Step 3 can actually produce a bogus result, as the name
returned by gethostbyname may not be related to the hostname
we fed it (e.g., consider a machine "foo" with names
"foo.one.example.com" and "bar.two.example.com"; we may have
the latter returned and generate the bogus name
"foo.two.example.com").

This patch simply uses the full hostname returned by
gethostbyname. In the common case that the first part is the
same as the unqualified hostname, the behavior is identical.
And in the case that it is not the same, we are much more
likely to be generating a valid name.

Now that we accept arbitrary-sized names and email

using a strbuf is one less error condition we have to worry

ident: trim whitespace from default name/email

Usually these values get fed to fmt_ident, which will trim
any cruft anyway, but there are a few code paths which use
them directly. Let's clean them up for the benefit of those
callers. Furthermore, fmt_ident will look at the pre-trimmed
value and decide whether to invoke ERROR_ON_NO_NAME; this
check can be fooled by a name consisting only of spaces.

Note that we only bother to clean up when we are pulling the
information from gecos or from system files. Any other value
comes from a config file, where we will have cleaned up
accidental whitespace already.
