path.c: make get_pathname() return strbuf instead of static buffer

We've been avoiding PATH_MAX whenever possible. This patch makes
get_pathname() return a strbuf and updates the callers to take
advantage of this. The code is simplified as we no longer need to
worry about buffer overflow.

vsnpath() behavior is changed slightly: previously it always clears
the buffer before writing, now it just appends. Fortunately this is a
static function and all of its callers prepare the buffer properly:
git_path() gets the buffer from get_pathname() which resets the
buffer, the remaining call sites start with STRBUF_INIT'd buffer.

path.c: make get_pathname() call sites return const char *

Before the previous commit, get_pathname returns an array of PATH_MAX
length. Even if git_path() and similar functions does not use the
whole array, git_path() caller can, in theory.

After the commit, get_pathname() may return a buffer that has just
enough room for the returned string and git_path() caller should never
write beyond that.

Make git_path(), mkpath() and git_path_submodule() return a const
buffer to make sure callers do not write in it at all.

This could have been part of the previous commit, but the "const"
conversion is too much distraction from the core changes in path.c.

git_snpath(): retire and replace with strbuf_git_path()

In the previous patch, git_snpath() is modified to allocate a new
strbuf buffer because vsnpath() needs that. But that makes it
awkward because git_snpath() receives a pre-allocated buffer from
outside and has to copy data back. Rename it to strbuf_git_path()
and make it receive strbuf directly.

Using git_path() in update_refs_for_switch() which used to call
git_snpath() is safe because that function and all of its callers do
not keep any pointer to the round-robin buffer pool allocated by
get_pathname().

path.c: rename vsnpath() to do_git_path()

The name vsnpath() gives an impression that this is general path
handling function. It's not. This is the underlying implementation of
git_path(), git_pathdup() and strbuf_git_path() which will prefix
$GIT_DIR in the result string.

git_path(): be aware of file relocation in $GIT_DIR

We allow the user to relocate certain paths out of $GIT_DIR via
environment variables, e.g. GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY, GIT_INDEX_FILE and
GIT_GRAFT_FILE. Callers are not supposed to use git_path() or
git_pathdup() to get those paths. Instead they must use
get_object_directory(), get_index_file() and get_graft_file()
respectively. This is inconvenient and could be missed in review (for
example, there's git_path("objects/info/alternates") somewhere in
sha1_file.c).

This patch makes git_path() and git_pathdup() understand those
environment variables. So if you set GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY to /foo/bar,
git_path("objects/abc") should return /foo/bar/abc. The same is done
for the two remaining env variables.

"git rev-parse --git-path" is the wrapper for script use.

reflog: avoid constructing .lock path with git_path

Among pathnames in $GIT_DIR, e.g. "index" or "packed-refs", we want to
automatically and silently map some of them to the $GIT_DIR of the
repository we are borrowing from via $GIT_COMMON_DIR mechanism.  When
we formulate the pathname for its lockfile, we want it to be in the
same location as its final destination.  "index" is not shared and
needs to remain in the borrowing repository, while "packed-refs" is
shared and needs to go to the borrowed repository.

git_path() could be taught about the ".lock" suffix and map
"index.lock" and "packed-refs.lock" the same way their basenames are
mapped, but instead the caller can help by asking where the basename
(e.g. "index") is mapped to git_path() and then appending ".lock"
after the mapping is done.

$GIT_COMMON_DIR: a new environment variable

This variable is intended to support multiple working directories
attached to a repository. Such a repository may have a main working
directory, created by either "git init" or "git clone" and one or more
linked working directories. These working directories and the main
repository share the same repository directory.

In linked working directories, $GIT_COMMON_DIR must be defined to point
to the real repository directory and $GIT_DIR points to an unused
subdirectory inside $GIT_COMMON_DIR. File locations inside the
repository are reorganized from the linked worktree view point:

 - worktree-specific such as HEAD, logs/HEAD, index, other top-level
   refs and unrecognized files are from $GIT_DIR.

 - the rest like objects, refs, info, hooks, packed-refs, shallow...
   are from $GIT_COMMON_DIR

Scripts are supposed to retrieve paths in $GIT_DIR with "git rev-parse
--git-path", which will take care of "$GIT_DIR vs $GIT_COMMON_DIR"
business.

The redirection is done by git_path(), git_pathdup() and
strbuf_git_path(). The selected list of paths goes to $GIT_COMMON_DIR,
not the other way around in case a developer adds a new
worktree-specific file and it's accidentally promoted to be shared
across repositories (this includes unknown files added by third party
commands)

The list of known files that belong to $GIT_DIR are:

ADD_EDIT.patch BISECT_ANCESTORS_OK BISECT_EXPECTED_REV BISECT_LOG
BISECT_NAMES CHERRY_PICK_HEAD COMMIT_MSG FETCH_HEAD HEAD MERGE_HEAD
MERGE_MODE MERGE_RR NOTES_EDITMSG NOTES_MERGE_WORKTREE ORIG_HEAD
REVERT_HEAD SQUASH_MSG TAG_EDITMSG fast_import_crash_* logs/HEAD
next-index-* rebase-apply rebase-merge rsync-refs-* sequencer/*
shallow_*

Path mapping is NOT done for git_path_submodule(). Multi-checkouts are
not supported as submodules.

rebase -i: do not "echo" random user-supplied strings

In some places we "echo" a string that comes from a commit log
message, which may have a backslash sequence that is interpreted by
the command (POSIX.1 allows this), most notably "dash"'s built-in
'echo'.

A commit message which contains the string '\n' (or ends with the
string '\c') may result in a garbage line in the todo list of an
interactive rebase which causes the rebase to fail.

To reproduce the behavior (with dash as /bin/sh):

  mkdir test && cd test && git init
  echo 1 >foo && git add foo
  git commit -m"this commit message ends with '\n'"
  echo 2 >foo && git commit -a --fixup HEAD
  git rebase -i --autosquash --root

Now the editor opens with garbage in line 3 which has to be
removed or the rebase fails.
