push: start warning upcoming default change for push.default

In preparation for flipping the default to the "simple" mode from
the "matching" mode that is the historical default, start warning
users when they rely on unconfigured "git push" to default to the
"matching" mode.

Also, advertise for 'simple' where 'current' and 'upstream' are advised.

t/test-lib.sh: export PERL_PATH for use in scripts

Most notably, t4031 creates a small shell script that invokes perl
and we want to use "$PERL_PATH" to name the version of Perl suitable
for our use, read from GIT-BUILD-OPTS.  The test would fail when it
is directly run in t/ directory from the shell or "make" is run in t/
directory.

This problem was hidden from "make test" run in the top-level
directory, because its Makefile exports PERL_PATH.

tests: enclose $PERL_PATH in double quotes

Otherwise it will be split at a space after "Program" when it is set
to "\\Program Files\perl" or something silly like that.

t/README: add a bit more Don'ts

Add a few more advices that we often have to give to new test
writers.

Also update an example where a double quote pair is used to enclose
a test body to use a single quote pair, which is more readable and
more importantly gives saner semantics for variable substitution.

test-lib: reorder and include GIT-BUILD-OPTIONS a lot earlier

This dot-sources GIT-BUILD-OPTIONS a lot earlier in test-lib.sh so
that its use of "perl" can use "$PERL_PATH" to choose the version of
Perl the user told us is suitable for our use.

This is iffy; I didn't check it very carefully, and I would not be
surprised if there are subtle breakages.

config: read (but not write) from $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/git/config file

Teach git to read the "gitconfig" information from a new location,
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/git/config; this allows the user to avoid
cluttering $HOME with many per-application configuration files.

In the order of reading, this file comes between the global
configuration file (typically $HOME/.gitconfig) and the system wide
configuration file (typically /etc/gitconfig).

We do not write to this new location (yet).

If $XDG_CONFIG_HOME is either not set or empty, $HOME/.config/git/config
will be used. This is in line with XDG specification.

If the new file does not exist, the behavior is unchanged.

Let core.excludesfile default to $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/git/ignore

To use the feature of core.excludesfile, the user needs:

 1. to create such a file,

 2. and add configuration variable to point at it.

Instead, we can make this a one-step process by choosing a default value
which points to a filename in the user's $HOME, that is unlikely to
already exist on the system, and only use the presence of the file as a
cue that the user wants to use that feature.

And we use "${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:-$HOME/.config/git}/ignore" as such a
file, in the same directory as the newly added configuration file
("${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:-$HOME/.config/git}/config).  The use of this
directory is in line with XDG specification as a location to store
such application specific files.

config: write to $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/git/config file when appropriate

Teach git to write to $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/git/config if

 - it already exists,
 - $HOME/.gitconfig file doesn't, and
 - The --global option is used.

Otherwise, write to $HOME/.gitconfig when the --global option is
given, as before.

If the user doesn't create $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/git/config, there is
absolutely no change. Users can use this new file only if they want.

If $XDG_CONFIG_HOME is either not set or empty, $HOME/.config/git/config
will be used.

Advice for users who often come back to an old version of Git: you
shouldn't create this file.
