path_excluded(): update API to less cache-entry centric

It was stupid of me to make the API too much cache-entry specific;
the caller may want to check arbitrary pathname without having a
corresponding cache-entry to see if a path is ignored.

builtin/add.c: use path_excluded()

This only happens in --ignore-missing --dry-run codepath which
presumably nobody should care, but is for completeness.

unpack-trees.c: use path_excluded() in check_ok_to_remove()

This function is responsible for determining if a path that is not
tracked is ignored and allow "checkout" to overwrite it as needed.
It used excluded() without checking if higher level directory in the
path is ignored; correct it to use path_excluded() for this check.

 * There are uses of lower-level interface excluded_from_list() in
   the codepath for narrow-checkout hack; they are supposed to be
   already checking each level as they descend, and are not touched
   with this patch.
dir.c: make excluded() file scope static

Now there no longer is external callers of this interface, so we can
make it static.

help: use HTML as the default help format on Windows

When 'git help $cmd' is run without a format option (e.g. -w), the
'man' format is always used. On some platforms, however, manual page
viewers are not often available.

Introduce DEFAULT_HELP_FORMAT make variable in order to allow the
default format configurable at compile time, and set it to HTML when
compiling on Windows (but not Cygwin).

fmt-merge-msg: make attribution into comment lines

The submaintainer credit is not something you can compute purely by
looking at the history and its shape, especially in the presense of
fast-forward merges, and this observation makes the information on
the "via" line unreliable.  Let's leave the final determination of
credits up to whoever is making the merge and show them as comments.

t1304: improve setfacl prerequisite setup

t1304 first runs setfacl as an experiment to see whether the
filesystem supports ACLs, and skips the remaining tests if
it does not. However, our setfacl run did not exercise the
ACLs very well, and some filesystems may support our initial
setfacl, but not the rest of the test.

In particular, some versions of ecryptfs will erroneously
apply the umask on top of an inherited directory ACL,
causing our tests to fail. Let's be more careful and make
sure both that we can read back the user ACL we set, and
that the inherited ACL is propagated correctly. The latter
catches the ecryptfs bug, but may also catch other bugs
(e.g., an implementation which does not handle inherited
ACLs at all).

Since we're making the setup more complex, let's move it
into its own test. This will hide the output for us unless
the user wants to run "-v" to see it (and we don't need to
bother printing anything about setfacl failing; the
remaining tests will properly print "skip" due to the
missing prerequisite).

docs: fix cross-directory linkgit references

Most of our documentation is in a single directory, so using
linkgit:git-config[1] just generates a relative link in the
same directory. However, this is not the case with the API
documentation in technical/*, which need to refer to
git-config from the parent directory.

We can fix this by passing a special prefix attribute when building
in a subdirectory, and respecting that prefix in our linkgit
definitions.

We only have to modify the html linkgit definition.  For
manpages, we can ignore this for two reasons:

  1. we do not generate actual links to the file in
     manpages, but instead just give the name and section of
     the linked manpage

  2. we do not currently build manpages for subdirectories,
     only html
