mergetools/kdiff3: do not use --auto when diffing

The `kdiff3 --auto` help message is, "No GUI if all conflicts are auto-
solvable."  This flag was carried over from the original mergetool
commands.  diff_cmd() is for two-way comparisons only so remove the
superfluous flag.

t5004: ignore pax global header file

Versions of tar that don't know pax headers -- like the ones in NetBSD 6
and OpenBSD 5.2 -- extract them as regular files.  Explicitly ignore the
file created for our global header when checking the list of extracted
files, as this is normal and harmless fall-back behaviour.  This fixes
test 3 of t5004 on these platforms.

t5004: avoid using tar for checking emptiness of archive

Test 2 of t5004 checks if a supposedly empty tar archive really
contains no files.  24676f02 (t5004: fix issue with empty archive test
and bsdtar) removed our commit hash to make it work with bsdtar, but
the test still fails on NetBSD and OpenBSD, which use their own tar
that considers a tar file containing only NULs as broken.

Here's what the different archivers do when asked to create a tar
file without entries:

	$ uname -v
	NetBSD 6.0.1 (GENERIC)
	$ gtar --version | head -1
	tar (GNU tar) 1.26
	$ bsdtar --version
	bsdtar 2.8.4 - libarchive 2.8.4

	$ : >zero.tar
	$ perl -e 'print "\0" x 10240' >tenk.tar
	$ sha1 zero.tar tenk.tar
	SHA1 (zero.tar) = da39a3ee5e6b4b0d3255bfef95601890afd80709
	SHA1 (tenk.tar) = 34e163be8e43c5631d8b92e9c43ab0bf0fa62b9c

	$ : | tar cf - -T - | sha1
	da39a3ee5e6b4b0d3255bfef95601890afd80709
	$ : | gtar cf - -T - | sha1
	34e163be8e43c5631d8b92e9c43ab0bf0fa62b9c
	$ : | bsdtar cf - -T - | sha1
	34e163be8e43c5631d8b92e9c43ab0bf0fa62b9c

So NetBSD's native tar creates an empty file, while GNU tar and bsdtar
both give us 10KB of NULs -- just like git archive with an empty tree.
Now let's see how the archivers handle these two kinds of empty tar
files:

	$ tar tf zero.tar; echo $?
	tar: Unexpected EOF on archive file
	1
	$ gtar tf zero.tar; echo $?
	gtar: This does not look like a tar archive
	gtar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors
	2
	$ bsdtar tf zero.tar; echo $?
	0

	$ tar tf tenk.tar; echo $?
	tar: Cannot identify format. Searching...
	tar: End of archive volume 1 reached
	tar: Sorry, unable to determine archive format.
	1
	$ gtar tf tenk.tar; echo $?
	0
	$ bsdtar tf tenk.tar; echo $?
	0

NetBSD's tar complains about both, bsdtar happily accepts any of them
and GNU tar doesn't like zero-length archive files.  So the safest
course of action is to stay with our block-of-NULs format which is
compatible with GNU tar and bsdtar, as we can't make NetBSD's native
tar happy anyway.

We can simplify our test, however, by taking tar out of the picture.
Instead of extracting the archive and checking for the non-presence of
files, check if the file has a size of 10KB and contains only NULs.
This makes t5004 pass on NetBSD and OpenBSD.

config: factor out config file stack management

Because a config callback may start parsing a new file, the
global context regarding the current config file is stored
as a stack. Currently we only need to manage that stack from
git_config_from_file. Let's factor it out to allow new
sources of config data.

config: drop cf validity check in get_next_char()

The global variable cf is set with an initialized value in all codepaths before
calling this function.

The complete call graph looks like this:

  git_config_from_file
    -> do_config_from
      -> git_parse_file
        -> get_next_char
        -> get_value
            -> get_next_char
            -> parse_value
                -> get_next_char
        -> get_base_var
            -> get_next_char
            -> get_extended_base_var
                -> get_next_char

The variable is initialized in do_config_from.

config: make parsing stack struct independent from actual data source

To simplify adding other sources we extract all functions needed for
parsing into a list of callbacks. We implement those callbacks for the
current file parsing. A new source can implement its own set of callbacks.

Instead of storing the concrete FILE pointer for parsing we store a void
pointer. A new source can use this to store its custom data.

do not die when error in config parsing of buf occurs

If a config parsing error in a file occurs we can die and let the user
fix the issue. This is different for the buf parsing function since it
can be used to parse blobs of .gitmodules files. If a parsing error
occurs here we should proceed since otherwise a database containing such
an error in a single revision could be rendered unuseable.
