parse-options: multi-word argh should use dash to separate words

"When you need to use space, use dash" is a strange way to say that
you must not use a space.  Because it is more common for the command
line descriptions to use dashed-multi-words, you do not even want to
use spaces in these places.  Rephrase the documentation to avoid
this strangeness.

Fix a few existing multi-word argument help strings, i.e.

 - GPG key-ids given to -S/--gpg-sign are "key-id";
 - Refs used for storing notes are "notes-ref"; and
 - Expiry timestamps given to --expire are "expiry-date".

and update the corresponding documentation pages.

update-index: teach --cacheinfo a new syntax "mode,sha1,path"

The "--cacheinfo" option is unusual in that it takes three option
parameters.  An option with an optional parameter is bad enough.  An
option with multiple parameters is simply insane.

Introduce a new syntax that takes these three things concatenated
together with a comma, which makes the command line syntax more
uniform across subcommands, while retaining the traditional syntax
for backward compatiblity.

If we were designing the "update-index" subcommand from scratch
today, it may probably have made sense to make this option (and
possibly others) a command mode option that does not take any option
parameter (hence no need for arg-help).  But we do not live in such
an ideal world, and as far as I can tell, the command still supports
(and must support) mixed command modes in a single invocation, e.g.

    $ git update-index path1 --add path2 \
        --cacheinfo 100644 $(git hash-object --stdin -w <path3) path3 \
	path4

must make sure path1 is already in the index and update all of these
four paths.  So this is probably as far as we can go to fix this issue
without risking to break people's existing scripts.

parse-options: make sure argh string does not have SP or _

We encourage to spell an argument hint that consists of multiple
words as a single-token separated with dashes.  In order to help
catching violations added by new callers of parse-options, make sure
argh does not contain SP or _ when the code validates the option
definitions.

MSVC: link in invalidcontinue.obj for better POSIX compatibility

By default, Windows abort()'s instead of setting
errno=EINVAL when invalid arguments are passed to standard functions.

For example, when PAGER quits and git detects it with
errno=EPIPE on write(), check_pipe() in write_or_die.c tries raise(SIGPIPE)
but since there is no SIGPIPE on Windows, it is treated as invalid argument,
causing abort() and crash report window.

Linking in invalidcontinue.obj (provided along with MS compiler) allows
raise(SIGPIPE) to return with errno=EINVAL.

MSVC: fix t0040-parse-options crash

On 64-bit MSVC, pointers are 64 bit but `long` is only 32.
Thus, casting string to `unsigned long`, which is redundand on other
platforms, throws away important bits and when later cast to `intptr_t`
results in corrupt pointer.

This patch fixes test-parse-options by replacing harming cast with
correct one.

date: recognize bogus FreeBSD gmtime output

Most gmtime implementations return a NULL value when they
encounter an error (and this behavior is specified by ANSI C
and POSIX).  FreeBSD's implementation, however, will simply
leave the "struct tm" untouched.  Let's also recognize this
and convert it to a NULL (with this patch, t4212 should pass
on FreeBSD).

t4212: loosen far-in-future test for AIX

One of the tests in t4212 checks our behavior when we feed
gmtime a date so far in the future that it gives up and
returns NULL. Some implementations, like AIX, may actually
just provide us a bogus result instead.

It's not worth it for us to come up with heuristics that
guess whether the return value is sensible or not. On good
platforms where gmtime reports the problem to us with NULL,
we will print the epoch value. On bad platforms, we will
print garbage.  But our test should be written for the
lowest common denominator so that it passes everywhere.

add `ignore_missing_links` mode to revwalk

When pack-objects is computing the reachability bitmap to
serve a fetch request, it can erroneously die() if some of
the UNINTERESTING objects are not present. Upload-pack
throws away HAVE lines from the client for objects we do not
have, but we may have a tip object without all of its
ancestors (e.g., if the tip is no longer reachable and was
new enough to survive a `git prune`, but some of its
reachable objects did get pruned).

In the non-bitmap case, we do a revision walk with the HAVE
objects marked as UNINTERESTING. The revision walker
explicitly ignores errors in accessing UNINTERESTING commits
to handle this case (and we do not bother looking at
UNINTERESTING trees or blobs at all).

When we have bitmaps, however, the process is quite
different.  The bitmap index for a pack-objects run is
calculated in two separate steps:

First, we perform an extensive walk from all the HAVEs to
find the full set of objects reachable from them. This walk
is usually optimized away because we are expected to hit an
object with a bitmap during the traversal, which allows us
to terminate early.

Secondly, we perform an extensive walk from all the WANTs,
which usually also terminates early because we hit a commit
with an existing bitmap.

Once we have the resulting bitmaps from the two walks, we
AND-NOT them together to obtain the resulting set of objects
we need to pack.

When we are walking the HAVE objects, the revision walker
does not know that we are walking it only to mark the
results as uninteresting. We strip out the UNINTERESTING flag,
because those objects _are_ interesting to us during the
first walk. We want to keep going to get a complete set of
reachable objects if we can.

We need some way to tell the revision walker that it's OK to
silently truncate the HAVE walk, just like it does for the
UNINTERESTING case. This patch introduces a new
`ignore_missing_links` flag to the `rev_info` struct, which
we set only for the HAVE walk.

It also adds tests to cover UNINTERESTING objects missing
from several positions: a missing blob, a missing tree, and
a missing parent commit. The missing blob already worked (as
we do not care about its contents at all), but the other two
cases caused us to die().

Note that there are a few cases we do not need to test:

  1. We do not need to test a missing tree, with the blob
     still present. Without the tree that refers to it, we
     would not know that the blob is relevant to our walk.

  2. We do not need to test a tip commit that is missing.
     Upload-pack omits these for us (and in fact, we
     complain even in the non-bitmap case if it fails to do
     so).

pack-objects: do not reuse packfiles without --delta-base-offset

When we are sending a packfile to a remote, we currently try
to reuse a whole chunk of packfile without bothering to look
at the individual objects. This can make things like initial
clones much lighter on the server, as we can just dump the
packfile bytes.

However, it's possible that the other side cannot read our
packfile verbatim. For example, we may have objects stored
as OFS_DELTA, but the client is an antique version of git
that only understands REF_DELTA. We negotiate this
capability over the fetch protocol. A normal pack-objects
run will convert OFS_DELTA into REF_DELTA on the fly, but
the "reuse pack" code path never even looks at the objects.

This patch disables packfile reuse if the other side is
missing any capabilities that we might have used in the
on-disk pack. Right now the only one is OFS_DELTA, but we
may need to expand in the future (e.g., if packv4 introduces
new object types).

We could be more thorough and only disable reuse in this
case when we actually have an OFS_DELTA to send, but:

  1. We almost always will have one, since we prefer
     OFS_DELTA to REF_DELTA when possible. So this case
     would almost never come up.

  2. Looking through the objects defeats the purpose of the
     optimization, which is to do as little work as possible
     to get the bytes to the remote.

  on a line containing only ".".

* Stagger email "Date:" values in an attempt to help mail clients
  thread the emails in the right order.

* If a mailing list setting is missing, just skip sending the
  corresponding email (with a warning) instead of failing.
