attr: "binary" attribute should choose built-in "binary" merge driver

The built-in "binary" attribute macro expands to "-diff -text", so
that textual diff is not produced, and the contents will not go
through any CR/LF conversion ever.  During a merge, it should also
choose the "binary" low-level merge driver, but it didn't.

Make it expand to "-diff -merge -text".

t0060: split absolute path test in two to exercise some of it on Windows

Only the first half of the test works only on POSIX, the second half
passes on Windows as well.

A later test "real path removes other extra slashes" looks very similar,
but it does not make sense to split it in the same way: When two slashes
are prepended in front of an absolute DOS-style path on Windows, the
meaning of the path is changed (//server/share style), so that the test
cannot pass on Windows.

gitcli: formatting fix

The paragraph to encourage use of "--" in scripts belongs to the
bullet point that describes the behaviour for a command line without
the explicit "--" disambiguation; it is not a supporting explanation
for the entire bulletted list, and it is wrong to make it a separate
paragraph outside the list.

gitcli: contrast wildcard given to shell and to git

People who are not used to working with shell may intellectually
understand how the command line argument is massaged by the shell
but still have a hard time visualizing the difference between
letting the shell expand fileglobs and having Git see the fileglob
to use as a pathspec.

Merge branch 'cn/branch-set-upstream-to'

"git branch --set-upstream origin/master" is a common mistake to
create a local branch 'origin/master' and set it to integrate with
the current branch.  With a plan to deprecate this option, introduce
"git branch (-u|--set-upstream-to) origin/master" that sets the
current branch to integrate with 'origin/master' remote tracking
branch.

blame $path: avoid getting fooled by case insensitive filesystems

"git blame MAKEFILE" run in a history that has "Makefile" but not
MAKEFILE can get confused on a case insensitive filesystem, because
the check we run to see if there is a corresponding file in the
working tree with lstat("MAKEFILE") succeeds.  In addition to that
check, we have to make sure that the given path also exists in the
commit we start digging history from (i.e. "HEAD").

Note that this reveals the breakage in a test added in cd8ae20
(git-blame shouldn't crash if run in an unmerged tree, 2007-10-18),
which expects the entire merge-in-progress path to be blamed to the
working tree when it did not exist in our tree.  As it is clear in
the log message of that commit, the old breakage was that it was
causing an internal error and the fix was about avoiding it.

Just check that the command does not die an uncontrolled death.  For
this particular case, the blame should fail, as the history for the
file in that contents has not been committed yet at the point in the
test.

build: improve GIT_CONF_SUBST signature

Now, in configure.ac, a call like:

    GIT_CONF_SUBST([FOO])

will be considered equivalent to:

    GIT_CONF_SUBST([FOO], [$FOO])

This is mostly a preparatory refactoring in view of future changes.
No semantic change to the generated configure or config.mak.auto is
intended.

build: don't duplicate substitution of make variables

Thanks to our 'GIT_CONF_SUBST' layer in configure.ac, a make variable 'VAR'
can be defined to a value 'VAL' at ./configure runtime in our build system
simply by using "GIT_CONF_SUBST([VAR], [VAL])" in configure.ac, rather than
having both to call "AC_SUBST([VAR], [VAL])" in configure.ac and adding the
'VAR = @VAR@' definition in config.mak.in.  Less duplication, less margin
for error, less possibility of confusion.

While at it, fix some formatting issues in configure.ac that unnecessarily
obscured the code flow.
