git rev-list: fix invalid typecast

git rev-list passes rev_list_info, not rev_list objects. Without this
fix, rev-list enables or disables the --verify-objects option depending
on a read from an undefined memory location.

push/fetch/clone --no-progress suppresses progress output

By default, progress output is disabled if stderr is not a terminal.
The --progress option can be used to force progress output anyways.
Conversely, --no-progress does not force progress output. In particular,
if stderr is a terminal, progress output is enabled.

This is unintuitive. Change --no-progress to force output off.

do not override receive-pack errors

Receive runs rev-list --verify-objects in order to detect missing
objects. However, such errors are ignored and overridden later.
Instead, consequently ignore all update commands for which an error has
already been detected.

Some tests in t5504 are obsoleted by this change, because invalid
objects are detected even if fsck is not enabled. Instead, they now test
for different error messages depending on whether or not fsck is turned
on. A better fix would be to force a corruption that will be detected by
fsck but not by rev-list.

pager: find out the terminal width before spawning the pager

term_columns() checks for terminal width via ioctl(2) on the standard
output, but we spawn the pager too early for this check to be useful.

The effect of this buglet can be observed by opening a wide terminal and
running "git -p help --all", which still shows 80-column output, while
"git help --all" uses the full terminal width. Run the check before we
spawn the pager to fix this.

While at it, move term_columns() to pager.c and export it from cache.h so
that callers other than the help subsystem can use it.

diff-highlight: make perl strict and warnings fatal

These perl features can catch bugs, and we shouldn't be
violating any of the strict rules or creating any warnings,
so let's turn them on.

diff-highlight: don't highlight whole lines

If you have a change like:

  -foo
  +bar

we end up highlighting the entirety of both lines (since the
whole thing is changed). But the point of diff highlighting
is to pinpoint the specific change in a pair of lines that
are mostly identical. In this case, the highlighting is just
noise, since there is nothing to pinpoint, and we are better
off doing nothing.

The implementation looks for "interesting" pairs by checking
to see whether they actually have a matching prefix or
suffix that does not simply consist of colorization and
whitespace.  However, the implementation makes it easy to
plug in other heuristics, too, like:

  1. Depending on the source material, the set of "boring"
     characters could be tweaked to include language-specific
     stuff (like braces or semicolons for C).

  2. Instead of saying "an interesting line has at least one
     character of prefix or suffix", we could require that
     less than N percent of the line be highlighted.

The simple "ignore whitespace, and highlight if there are
any matched characters" implemented by this patch seems to
give good results on git.git. I'll leave experimentation
with other heuristics to somebody who has a dataset that
does not look good with the current code.

Based on an original idea and implementation by Michał
Kiedrowicz.

diff-highlight: refactor to prepare for multi-line hunks

The current code structure assumes that we will only look at
a pair of lines at any given time, and that the end result
should always be to output that pair. However, we want to
eventually handle multi-line hunks, which will involve
collating pairs of removed/added lines. Let's refactor the
code to return highlighted pairs instead of printing them.

diff-highlight: match multi-line hunks

Currently we only bother highlighting single-line hunks. The
rationale was that the purpose of highlighting is to point
out small changes between two similar lines that are
otherwise hard to see. However, that meant we missed similar
cases where two lines were changed together, like:

   -foo(buf);
   -bar(buf);
   +foo(obj->buf);
   +bar(obj->buf);

Each of those changes is simple, and would benefit from
highlighting (the "obj->" parts in this case).

This patch considers whole hunks at a time. For now, we
consider only the case where the hunk has the same number of
removed and added lines, and assume that the lines from each
segment correspond one-to-one. While this is just a
heuristic, in practice it seems to generate sensible
results (especially because we now omit highlighting on
completely-changed lines, so when our heuristic is wrong, we
tend to avoid highlighting at all).

Based on an original idea and implementation by Michał
Kiedrowicz.

diff-highlight: document some non-optimal cases

The diff-highlight script works on heuristics, so it can be
wrong. Let's document some of the wrong-ness in case
somebody feels like working on it.
