strmap: introduce `git_strmap_get` and use it throughout the tree · ef507bc7
The current way of looking up an entry from a map is tightly coupled with the map implementation, as one first has to look up the index of the key and then retrieve the associated value by using the index. As a caller, you usually do not care about any indices at all, though, so this is more complicated than really necessary. Furthermore, it invites for errors to happen if the correct error checking sequence is not being followed. Introduce a new high-level function `git_strmap_get` that takes a map and a key and returns a pointer to the associated value if such a key exists. Otherwise, a `NULL` pointer is returned. Adjust all callers that can trivially be converted.
