If a variable is on its own, truth should be assumed. Check this is
true in our code.

If a variable name appears on its own in a line, it's assumed the
value is true. Store the variable name as NULL in that case.

These tests are basic, but they should tell us when we've broken
something.

If a line ends at EOF there is no need to check for the newline
character and doing so will cause us to read memory beyond the
allocatd memory as we check for the Windows-style new-line, which is
two bytes long.

If a variable value has the traditional continuation character (\) as
the last non-space character in the line, then we continue reading the
value on the next line.

Using more than two lines is also supported.

Make header and variable parse functions use their own buffers instead
of giving them the line they need to read as a parameter which they
mostly ignore.

This is in preparation for multiline configuration variables.

On error, the buffer containing the file contents also needs to be
freed.

A variable name is stored internally with its section the way it
appeared in the configuration file in order to have the information
about what parts are case-sensitive inline.

Really implement parse_section_header_ext and move the assignment of
variables to config_parse.

The variable name matching is now done in a case-away way by
cvar_name_match and cvar_section_match. Before the user sees it, it's
normalized to the two- or three-dot version.

Such a list preserves the order the variables were first read in which
will be useful later for merging different data-sets. Furthermore,
reading and writing out the same configuration should not reorganize
the variables, which could happen when iterating through all the items
in a hash table.

A hash table is overkill for this small a data-set anyway.

git_config_open shouldn't have to initialise variables that are only
used inside config_parse and its callees.

Config variables should be interpreted at run-time, as we don't know if a
zero means false or zero, or if yes means true or "yes".

As a variable has no intrinsic type, git_cvtype is gone and the public
API takes care of enforcing a few rules.

Allow any well-formed reference name to live under refs/ removing the
condition that they be under refs/{heads,tags,remotes}/ as was the
design of git.

An exception is made for HEAD which is allowed to contain an OID
reference in detached HEAD state.

Add internal reference create and rename functions which take a force
parameter, telling them to overwrite an existing reference if it
exists.

These functions try to update the reference if it's of the same type
as the one it's going to be replaced by. Otherwise the old reference
becomes invalid.
