refs: do not invalidate the packed-refs cache unnecessarily

Now that we keep track of the packed-refs file metadata, we can detect
when the packed-refs file has been modified since we last read it, and
we do so automatically every time that get_packed_ref_cache() is
called.  So there is no need to invalidate the cache automatically
when lock_packed_refs() is called; usually the old copy will still be
valid.

Merge branch 'nd/warn-ambiguous-object-name' into jk/cat-file-batch-optim

* nd/warn-ambiguous-object-name:
  get_sha1: warn about full or short object names that look like refs
cat-file: disable object/refname ambiguity check for batch mode

A common use of "cat-file --batch-check" is to feed a list
of objects from "rev-list --objects" or a similar command.
In this instance, all of our input objects are 40-byte sha1
ids. However, cat-file has always allowed arbitrary revision
specifiers, and feeds the result to get_sha1().

Fortunately, get_sha1() recognizes a 40-byte sha1 before
doing any hard work trying to look up refs, meaning this
scenario should end up spending very little time converting
the input into an object sha1. However, since 798c35f
(get_sha1: warn about full or short object names that look
like refs, 2013-05-29), when we encounter this case, we
spend the extra effort to do a refname lookup anyway, just
to print a warning. This is further exacerbated by ca91993
(get_packed_ref_cache: reload packed-refs file when it
changes, 2013-06-20), which makes individual ref lookup more
expensive by requiring a stat() of the packed-refs file for
each missing ref.

With no patches, this is the time it takes to run:

  $ git rev-list --objects --all >objects
  $ time git cat-file --batch-check='%(objectname)' <objects

on the linux.git repository:

  real    1m13.494s
  user    0m25.924s
  sys     0m47.532s

If we revert ca91993, the packed-refs up-to-date check, it
gets a little better:

  real    0m54.697s
  user    0m21.692s
  sys     0m32.916s

but we are still spending quite a bit of time on ref lookup
(and we would not want to revert that patch, anyway, which
has correctness issues).  If we revert 798c35f, disabling
the warning entirely, we get a much more reasonable time:

  real    0m7.452s
  user    0m6.836s
  sys     0m0.608s

This patch does the moral equivalent of this final case (and
gets similar speedups). We introduce a global flag that
callers of get_sha1() can use to avoid paying the price for
the warning.

sha1_object_info_extended: rename "status" to "type"

The value we get from each low-level object_info function
(e.g., loose, packed) is actually the object type (or -1 for
error). Let's explicitly call it "type", which will make
further refactorings easier to read.

sha1_loose_object_info: make type lookup optional

Until recently, the only items to request from
sha1_object_info_extended were type and size. This meant
that we always had to open a loose object file to determine
one or the other.  But with the addition of the disk_size
query, it's possible that we can fulfill the query without
even opening the object file at all. However, since the
function interface always returns the type, we have no way
of knowing whether the caller cares about it or not.

This patch only modified sha1_loose_object_info to make type
lookup optional using an out-parameter, similar to the way
the size is handled (and the return value is "0" or "-1" for
success or error, respectively).

There should be no functional change yet, though, as
sha1_object_info_extended, the only caller, will always ask
for a type.

packed_object_info: hoist delta type resolution to helper

To calculate the type of a packed object, we must walk down
its delta chain until we hit a true base object with a real
type. Most of the code in packed_object_info is for handling
this case.

Let's hoist it out into a separate helper function, which
will make it easier to make the type-lookup optional in the
future (and keep our indentation level sane).

packed_object_info: make type lookup optional

Currently, packed_object_info can save some work by not
calculating the size or disk_size of the object if the
caller is not interested. However, it always calculates the
true object type, whether the caller cares or not, and only
optionally returns the easy-to-get "representation type".

Let's swap these types. The function will now return the
representation type (or OBJ_BAD on failure), and will only
optionally fill in the true type.

There should be no behavior change yet, as the only caller,
sha1_object_info_extended, will always feed it a type
pointer.

sha1_object_info_extended: make type calculation optional

Each caller of sha1_object_info_extended sets up an
object_info struct to tell the function which elements of
the object it wants to get. Until now, getting the type of
the object has always been required (and it is returned via
the return type rather than a pointer in object_info).

This can involve actually opening a loose object file to
determine its type, or following delta chains to determine a
packed file's base type. These effects produce a measurable
slow-down when doing a "cat-file --batch-check" that does
not include %(objecttype).

This patch adds a "typep" query to struct object_info, so
that it can be optionally queried just like size and
disk_size. As a result, the return type of the function is
no longer the object type, but rather 0/-1 for success/error.

As there are only three callers total, we just fix up each
caller rather than keep a compatibility wrapper:

  1. The simpler sha1_object_info wrapper continues to
     always ask for and return the type field.

  2. The istream_source function wants to know the type, and
     so always asks for it.

  3. The cat-file batch code asks for the type only when
     %(objecttype) is part of the format string.

On linux.git, the best-of-five for running:

  $ git rev-list --objects --all >objects
  $ time git cat-file --batch-check='%(objectsize:disk)'

on a fully packed repository goes from:

  real    0m8.680s
  user    0m8.160s
  sys     0m0.512s

to:

  real    0m7.205s
  user    0m6.580s
  sys     0m0.608s

sha1_object_info_extended: pass object_info to helpers

We take in a "struct object_info" which contains pointers to
storage for items the caller cares about. But then rather
than pass the whole object to the low-level loose/packed
helper functions, we pass the individual pointers.

Let's pass the whole struct instead, which will make adding
more items later easier.

builtin: add git-check-mailmap command

Introduce command check-mailmap, similar to check-attr and check-ignore,
which allows direct testing of .mailmap configuration.

As plumbing accessible to scripts and other porcelain, check-mailmap
publishes the stable, well-tested .mailmap functionality employed by
built-in Git commands.  Consequently, script authors need not
re-implement .mailmap functionality manually, thus avoiding potential
quirks and behavioral differences.
