refs.c: commit_packed_refs to return a meaningful errno on failure

Making errno when returning from commit_packed_refs() meaningful,
which should fix

 * a bug in "git clone" where it prints strerror(errno) based on
   errno, despite errno possibly being zero and potentially having
   been clobbered by that point
 * the same kind of bug in "git pack-refs"

and prepares for repack_without_refs() to get a meaningful
error message when commit_packed_refs() fails without falling into
the same bug.

refs.c: make ref_update_reject_duplicates take a strbuf argument for errors

Make ref_update_reject_duplicates return any error that occurs through a
new strbuf argument. This means that when a transaction commit fails in
this function we will now be able to pass a helpful error message back to the
caller.

refs.c: make update_ref_write update a strbuf on failure

Change update_ref_write to also update an error strbuf on failure.
This makes the error available to ref_transaction_commit callers if the
transaction failed due to update_ref_sha1/write_ref_sha1 failures.

refs.c: change ref_transaction_update() to do error checking and return status

Update ref_transaction_update() do some basic error checking and return
non-zero on error. Update all callers to check ref_transaction_update() for
error. There are currently no conditions in _update that will return error but
there will be in the future. Add an err argument that will be updated on
failure. In future patches we will start doing both locking and checking
for name conflicts in _update instead of _commit at which time this function
will start returning errors for these conditions.

Also check for BUGs during update and die(BUG:...) if we are calling
_update with have_old but the old_sha1 pointer is NULL.

submodules: add the lib-submodule-update.sh test library

Add this test library to simplify covering all combinations of submodule
update scenarios without having to add those to a test of each work tree
manipulating command over and over again.

The functions test_submodule_switch() and test_submodule_forced_switch()
are intended to be called from a test script with a single argument. This
argument is either a work tree manipulating command (including any command
line options) or a function (when more than a single git command is needed
to switch work trees from the current HEAD to another commit). This
command (or function) is passed a target branch as argument. The two new
functions check that each submodule transition is handled as expected,
which currently means that submodule work trees are not affected until
"git submodule update" is called. The "forced" variant is for commands
using their '-f' or '--hard' option and expects them to overwrite local
modifications as a result. Each of these two functions contains 14
tests_expect_* calls.

Calling one of these test functions the first time creates a repository
named "submodule_update_repo". At first it contains two files, then a
single submodule is added in another commit followed by commits covering
all relevant submodule modifications. This repository is newly cloned into
the "submodule_update" for each test_expect_* to avoid interference
between different parts of the test functions (some to-be-tested commands
also manipulate refs along with the work tree, e.g. "git reset").

Follow-up commits will then call these two test functions for all work
tree manipulating commands (with a combination of all their options
relevant to what they do with the work tree) making sure they work as
expected. Later this test library will be extended to cover merges
resulting in conflicts too. Also it is intended to be easily extendable
for the recursive update functionality, where even more combinations of
submodule modifications have to be tested for.

This version documents two bugs in current Git with expected failures:

*) When a submodule is replaced with a tracked file of the same name the
   submodule work tree including any local modifications (and even the
   whole history if it uses a .git directory instead of a gitfile!) is
   silently removed.

*) Forced work tree updates happily manipulate files in the directory of a
   submodule that has just been removed in the superproject (but is of
   course still present in the work tree due to the way submodules are
   currently handled). This becomes dangerous when files in the submodule
   directory are overwritten by files from the new superproject commit, as
   any modifications to the submodule files will be lost) and is expected
   to also destroy history in the - admittedly unlikely case - the new
   commit adds a file named ".git" to the submodule directory.
