Skip UTF8 BOM in ignore files

We've already added `ZLIB_LIBRARIES` to `LIBGIT2_LIBS` so don't also add the `z` library

We've already added `ZLIB_LIBRARIES` to `LIBGIT2_LIBS` so don't also add the `z` library (libgit2/#5079).

Define SYMBOLIC_LINK_FLAG_DIRECTORY if required

Ensure that we can read and parse an ignore file with a UTF8 BOM.

Support symlinks for directories in win32

rebase: orig_head and onto accessors

This is not implemented and should fail, but it should also not leak. To
allow the memory debugger to find leaks and fix this one we test this.

If someone passes just one ref (i.e. "master") and misses passing the
range we should be nice and return an error code instead of crashing.

cmake: correctly detect if system provides `regcomp`

Correctly write to missing locked global config

When linking against bundled libraries, we include their header
directories by using "-isystem". The reason for that is that we
want to handle our vendored library headers specially, most
importantly to ignore warnings generated by including them. By
using "-isystem", though, we screw up the order of searched
include directories by moving those bundled dependencies towards
the end of the lookup order. Like this, chances are high that any
other specified include directory contains a file that collides
with the actual desired include file.

Fix this by not treating the bundled dependencies' include
directories as system includes. This will move them to the front
of the lookup order and thus cause them to override
system-provided headers. While this may cause the compiler to
generate additional warnings when processing bundled headers,
this is a tradeoff we should make regardless to fix builds on
systems hitting this issue.

We assume that if we are on Win32, Amiga OS, Solaris or SunOS,
that the regcomp(3P) function cannot be provided by the system.
Thus we will in these cases always include our own, bundled regex
sources to make a regcomp implementation available. This test is
obviously very fragile, and we have seen it fail on MSYS2/MinGW
systems, which do in fact provide the regcomp symbol. The effect
is that during compilation, we will use the "regex.h" header
provided by MinGW, but use symbols provided by ourselves. This
in fact may cause subtle memory layout issues, as the structure
made available via MinGW doesn't match what our bundled code
expects.

There's one more problem with our regex detection: on the listed
platforms, we will incorrectly include the bundled regex code
even in case where the system provides regcomp_l(3), but it will
never be used for anything.

Fix the issue by improving our regcomp detection code. Instead of
relying on a fragile listing of platforms, we can just use
`CHECK_FUNCTION_EXISTS` instead. This will not in fact avoid the
header-ordering problem. But we can assume that as soon as a
system-provided "regex.h" header is provided, that
`CHECK_FUNCTION_EXISTS` will now correctly find the desired
symbol and thus not include our bundled regex code.

Opening a default config when ~/.gitconfig doesn't exist, locking it,
and attempting to write to it causes an assertion failure.

Treat non-existent global config file content as an empty string.

[RFC] util: introduce GIT_DOWNCAST macro

examples: implement SSH authentication

The rebase struct stores fields with information about the current
rebase process, which were not accessible via a public interface.

Accessors for getting the `orig_head` and `onto` branch
names and object ids have been added.

git_repository_init: stop traversing at windows root

Stop traversing the filesystem at the Windows directory root.  We were
calculating the filesystem root for the given directory to create, and
walking up the filesystem hierarchy.  We intended to stop when the
traversal path length is equal to the root path length (ie, stopping at
the root, since no path may be shorter than the root path).

However, on Windows, the root path may be specified in two different
ways, as either `Z:` or `Z:\`, where `Z:` is the current drive letter.
`git_path_dirname_r` returns the path _without_ a trailing slash, even
for the Windows root.  As a result, during traversal, we need to test
that the traversal path is _less than or equal to_ the root path length
to determine if we've hit the root to ensure that we stop when our
traversal path is `Z:` and our calculated root path was `Z:\`.

config_file: check result of git_array_alloc

git_array_alloc can return NULL if no memory is available, causing
a segmentation fault in memset. This adds GIT_ERROR_CHECK_ALLOC
similar to how other parts of the code base deal with the return
value of git_array_alloc.

In some parts of our code, we make rather heavy use of casting
structures to their respective specialized implementation. One
example is the configuration code with the general
`git_config_backend` and the specialized `diskfile_header`
structures. At some occasions, it can get confusing though with
regards to the correct inheritance structure, which led to the
recent bug fixed in 2424e64c (config: harden our use of the
backend objects a bit, 2018-02-28).

Object-oriented programming in C is hard, but we can at least try
to have some checks when it comes to casting around stuff. Thus,
this commit introduces a `GIT_CONTAINER_OF` macro, which accepts
as parameters the pointer that is to be casted, the pointer it
should be cast to as well as the member inside of the target
structure that is the containing structure. This macro then tries
hard to detect mis-casts:

- It checks whether the source and target pointers are of the
  same type. This requires support by the compiler, as it makes
  use of the builtin `__builtin_types_compatible_p`.

- It checks whether the embedded member of the target structure
  is the first member. In order to make this a compile-time
  constant, the compiler-provided `__builtin_offsetof` is being
  used for this.

- It ties these two checks together by the compiler-builtin
  `__builtin_choose_expr`. Based on whether the previous two
  checks evaluate to `true`, the compiler will either compile in
  the correct cast, or it will output `(void)0`. The second case
  results in a compiler error, resulting in a compile-time check
  for wrong casts.

The only downside to this is that it relies heavily on
compiler-specific extensions. As both GCC and Clang support these
features, only define this macro like explained above in case
`__GNUC__` is set (Clang also defines `__GNUC__`). If the
compiler is not Clang or GCC, just go with a simple cast without
any additional checks.

patch_parse.c: Handle CRLF in parse_header_start

The credentials callback may be passed a username in case where
the URL already includes the expected username. As we usually
cannot use a different username in such context, we should use
that one if provided and not ask the user for a diferent
username.

Implement SSH key credentials. This allows users to use the SSH
transport with the lg2 example code.
