parse: extract parse module · ef1395f3
The `git_patch_parse_ctx` encapsulates both parser state as well as options specific to patch parsing. To advance this state and keep it consistent, we provide a few functions which handle advancing the current position and accessing bytes of the patch contents. In fact, these functions are quite generic and not related to patch-parsing by themselves. Seeing that we have similar logic inside of other modules, it becomes quite enticing to extract this functionality into its own parser module. To do so, we create a new module `parse` with a central struct called `git_parse_ctx`. It encapsulates both the content that is to be parsed as well as its lengths and the current position. `git_patch_parse_ctx` now only contains this `parse_ctx` only, which is then accessed whenever we need to touch the current parser. This is the first step towards re-using this functionality across other modules which require parsing functionality and remove code-duplication.
