xdiff is a dependency (from git core) and more properly belongs in the
'deps' directory. Move it there, and add a stub for cmake to resolve
xdiff from the system location in the future. (At present, bundled xdiff
remains hardcoded.)

odb: restore `git_odb_open`

fs_path: let root run the ownership tests

Remove unused wditer variable

`git_odb_open` was erroneously removed during a refactoring; add it
back.

Found this randomly while debugging #6517

Revert #6503

The library name is correctly libgit2 (not git2) or libgit2-experimental
depending on configuration.

`git_odb_backend_loose` was erroneously removed during a refactoring;
add it back.

The `git_fs_path_owner_is_current_user` expects the root dir on unix
(`/`) to be owned by a non-current user. This makes sense unless root
(or euid == 0) is running the tests, which often happens during distro
build / packaging scripts. Allow them to run the tests.

This reverts commit 43e84e24.

This reverts commit f68b40c0.

remote: always populate old id in update tips

In b1e83cca we erroneously stopped
setting the old ID to zero; correct that.

Pass hostkey & port to host verify callback

Correct the definition of "empty" in the docs for `git_repository_is_empty`

This improves the documentation for `git_repository_is_empty`
which currently does not accurately describe libgit2's definition
of "empty".

It says that HEAD must point to the "unborn master branch", when
in fact, this is not the case if the repo's `init.defaultBranch`
configuration is set. If it is set, it will check that HEAD points
there. Only if it is not set does it fall back to `master`.

odb: don't unconditionally add oid_type to stream

`git_odb_stream` should have an `oid_type` to disambiguate; that's not
necessary on non-experimental SHA256 builds. Avoid unnecessary ABI
breakage for consumers and hide it behind an ifdef for now.

tests: always unset HTTP_PROXY before starting tests

The remote::httpproxy::env test (correctly) reset the environment before
running; however the other tests are also impacted by the environment
and need to have it isolated.

Handle Win32 shares

We say that you can link libgit2 "unmodified"... "without having to release
its source code". Clarify that you can modify libgit2 - but you must
release _its_ source code back - and you can link libgit2 without having
to release _your software's_ source code.
