The commits following this commit are about to introduce quite a lot of
refactoring and tightening of the smart packet parser. Unfortunately, we
do not yet have any tests despite our online tests that verify that our
parser does not regress upon changes. This is doubly unfortunate as our
online tests aren't executed by default.

Add new tests that exercise the smart parsing logic directly by
executing `git_pkt_parse_line`.

Introduce `git_prefixncmp` that will search up to the first `n`
characters of a string to see if it is prefixed by another string.
This is useful for examining if a non-null terminated character
array is prefixed by a particular substring.

Consolidate the various implementations of `git__prefixcmp` around a
single core implementation and add some test cases to validate its
behavior.

If the remote sends a too-short packet, we'll allow `len` to go
negative and eventually issue a malloc for <= 0 bytes on

```
pkt->head.name = git__malloc(alloclen);
```

When running repack while doing repo writes, `packfile_load__cb()` can see some temporary files in the directory that are bigger than the usual, and makes `memcmp` overflow on the `p->pack_name` string. ASAN detected this. This just uses `strncmp`, that should not have any performance impact and is safe for comparing strings of different sizes.

(cherry picked from commit d22cd1f4)

The current error handling for the multiline variable parser is a bit
fragile, as each error condition has its own code to clear memory.
Instead, unify error handling as far as possible to avoid this
repetitive code. While at it, make use of `GITERR_CHECK_ALLOC` to
correctly handle OOM situations and verify that the buffer we print into
does not run out of memory either.

Release v0.26.6

OSS-fuzz has reported a potential out-of-bounds read when processing a
"ng" smart packet:

When parsing an "ng" packet, we keep track of both the current position
as well as the remaining length of the packet itself. But instead of
taking care not to exceed the length, we pass the current pointer's
position to `strchr`, which will search for a certain character until
hitting NUL. It is thus possible to create a crafted packet which
doesn't contain a NUL byte to trigger an out-of-bounds read.

Fix the issue by instead using `memchr`, passing the remaining length as
restriction. Furthermore, verify that we actually have enough bytes left
to produce a match at all.

OSS-Fuzz-Issue: 9406

Travis has upgraded the default Xcode images from 8.3 to 9.4 on 31st
July 2018, including an upgrade to macOS 10.13. Unfortunately, this
breaks our CI builds on our maintenance branches. As we do not want to
include mayor changes to fix the integration right now, we force use of
the old Xcode 8.3 images.

Release v0.26.5

When checking whether a delta base offset and length fit into the base
we have in memory already, we can trigger an overflow which breaks the
check. This would subsequently result in us reading memory from out of
bounds of the base.

The issue is easily fixed by checking for overflow when adding `off` and
`len`, thus guaranteeting that we are never indexing beyond `base_len`.
This corresponds to the git patch 8960844a7 (check patch_delta bounds
more carefully, 2006-04-07), which adds these overflow checks.

When computing the offset and length of the delta base, we repeatedly
increment the `delta` pointer without checking whether we have advanced
past its end already, which can thus result in an out-of-bounds read.
Fix this by repeatedly checking whether we have reached the end. Add a
test which would cause Valgrind to produce an error.

Our delta code was originally adapted from JGit, which itself adapted it
from git itself. Due to this heritage, we inherited a bug from git.git
in how we compute the delta offset, which was fixed upstream in
48fb7deb5 (Fix big left-shifts of unsigned char, 2009-06-17). As
explained by Linus:

    Shifting 'unsigned char' or 'unsigned short' left can result in sign
    extension errors, since the C integer promotion rules means that the
    unsigned char/short will get implicitly promoted to a signed 'int' due to
    the shift (or due to other operations).

    This normally doesn't matter, but if you shift things up sufficiently, it
    will now set the sign bit in 'int', and a subsequent cast to a bigger type
    (eg 'long' or 'unsigned long') will now sign-extend the value despite the
    original expression being unsigned.

    One example of this would be something like

            unsigned long size;
            unsigned char c;

            size += c << 24;

    where despite all the variables being unsigned, 'c << 24' ends up being a
    signed entity, and will get sign-extended when then doing the addition in
    an 'unsigned long' type.

    Since git uses 'unsigned char' pointers extensively, we actually have this
    bug in a couple of places.

In our delta code, we inherited such a bogus shift when computing the
offset at which the delta base is to be found. Due to the sign extension
we can end up with an offset where all the bits are set. This can allow
an arbitrary memory read, as the addition in `base_len < off + len` can
now overflow if `off` has all its bits set.

Fix the issue by casting the result of `*delta++ << 24UL` to an unsigned
integer again. Add a test with a crafted delta that would actually
succeed with an out-of-bounds read in case where the cast wouldn't
exist.

Release v0.26.4

We might modify caches due to us trying to load the configuration to figure out
what kinds of filesystem protections we should have.

We still compare case-insensitively to protect more thoroughly as we don't know
what specifics we'll see on the system and it's the behaviour from git.

When dealing with `core.proectNTFS` and `core.protectHFS` we do check
against `.gitmodules` but we still have a failing test as the non-filesystem
codepath does not check for it.

Any part of the library which asks the question can pass in the mode to have it
checked against `.gitmodules` being a symlink.

This is particularly relevant for adding entries to the index from the worktree
and for checking out files.

This is so we have it available for the path validity checking. In a later
commit we will start rejecting `.gitmodules` files as symlinks.

We may take in names from the middle of a string so we want the caller to let us
know how long the path component is that we should be checking.

We want to reject these as they cause compatibility issues and can lead to git
writing to files outside of the repository.

These will be used by the checkout code to detect them for the particular
filesystem they're on.

These can't go into the public API yet as we don't want to introduce API or ABI
changes in a security release.

Given a path component it knows what to pass to the filesystem-specific
functions so we're protected even from trees which try to use the 8.3 naming
rules to get around us matching on the filename exactly.

The logic and test strings come from the equivalent git change.

It checks against the 8.3 shortname variants, including the one which includes
the checksum as part of its name.
